Our Story

In 2025, friends and founders Rahul Sundhar and Sugan Manohar returned to India after years in the U.S. startup ecosystem — building, failing, and learning. What they brought back wasn’t just experience, but clarity: India’s Gen Z wasn’t looking for more fast fashion. They wanted authenticity, individuality, and a way to express themselves without harming the planet. Fashion had become about values, not just style.

But the resale landscape in India was broken. Secondhand shopping was scattered across DMs and Instagram pages, with no quality checks, delivery support, or trust. Yet, there was undeniable energy — a cultural shift toward sustainability, creativity, and conscious consumption. Rahul and Sugan saw an opportunity to do more than build a business: they could accelerate India’s transition to a circular economy.

Enter Spree — India’s first swipe-based circular fashion platform. Spree is designed to make secondhand feel first-rate. With a fast, addictive interface to discover hidden gems, AI-powered quality checks, verified sellers, and seamless logistics, every item comes with a story and a future. Built for the bold, designed for creators, misfits, and nonconformists, Spree is circular by design, making resale exciting, trustworthy, and effortless.

Every piece on Spree is quality-verified, steam-cleaned, and delivered fast. Sustainability here doesn’t mean compromise — it’s about closing the loop, cutting waste, and giving clothes a second life. In a world drowning in discarded fashion, Spree is India’s answer to circular commerce that actually works — a homegrown platform built for scale, but rooted in impact.

One swipe at a time, Spree is turning resale into a lifestyle and thrift into a movement.
