Broadway Partners With The Foundery FWD To Launch Participating Consumer Brands
Broadway has partnered with The Foundery FWD to provide a retail launchpad for 18 emerging consumer brands. This initiative allows new startups to test their products in physical retail environments without the burden of long-term leases.

At The Foundery FWD, the inaugural investor showcase by The Foundery—a venture builder co-founded by Kishore Biyani, Nikhil Kamath and Ronnie Screwvala—18 consumer businesses made their public debut before a curated room of investors, founders, and industry leaders.
Built during The Foundery’s 90-day residential programme, some of these brands will now take their first step into the market space through Broadway’s experiential retail stores. Spanning health & wellness, beauty, fashion & lifestyle, F&B, and consumer tech, the brands will get their first chance to test products in a live retail setting — letting customers discover and experience them across Broadway stores nationwide.
