New Delhi, May 16 | Omnichannel eyewear unicorn Lenskart-backed Neso Brands on Monday said it has raised over 0 million in seed funding, along with announcing to appoint Bjorn Bergstrom as the new CEO.

Its new CEO Bergstrom recently served as Chief Growth Officer and interim Chief Product and Technology Officer for the global fashion brand NA-KD.
By investing in the most promising new brands in the industry and leveraging centralised resources across technology, manufacturing and distribution, Neso Brands will be uniquely positioned to scale the eyewear brands of the future, said Bergstrom.

With this investment in Neso Brands, we want to accelerate our mission of transforming the way people see and experience the world, Bansal said.
