The Mumbai Angels Network has led an investment of Rs 4 crore (around $625,000) in Dr Sheth’s, a skincare products maker which targets the luxury segment.

While the angel investment network contributed about Rs 3 crore, Dr Sheth’s raised an additional Rs 1 crore from other investors it did not name.

The Mumbai-based firm said in a statement that it will use the fresh capital to scale up operations, build brand awareness, develop new product lines, and launch in international markets.
