ZYOD Partners With FAN MANIA To Launch Global Licensed Merchandise In India

ZYOD, a leading tech-enabled B2B apparel manufacturing company, has announced a strategic partnership with FAN MANIA, a global licensing firm with offices in Dubai, Dammam, Istanbul, and Mumbai. This collaboration marks ZYOD’s official entry into India’s rapidly expanding licensed merchandise market and aims to introduce exclusive collections from major global brands to Indian consumers.

With the growing popularity of pop culture and branded content in India, the partnership leverages ZYOD’s agile manufacturing capabilities and deep retail network alongside FAN MANIA’s access to globally recognized intellectual properties. The offering will include licensed merchandise featuring franchises such as PlayStation, Peanuts, Hasbro, Sanrio, and Warner Brothers, among others. The initiative is designed to bridge the gap between global demand and local availability while offering Indian retailers a compelling opportunity to tap into a trend-driven consumer base.

Ankit Jaipuria, Co-Founder of ZYOD, said the partnership represents more than a business expansion—it is about building a more responsive and brand-rich fashion ecosystem in India. “Fashion today is as much about storytelling as it is about style, and licensed merchandise sits right at that intersection. This collaboration answers the demand for culturally relevant, globally popular collections,” he stated.

Ankit Shukla, Vice President – Business at ZYOD, emphasized that the move will empower Indian retailers to stay ahead in a culture-first marketplace. “Partnering with FAN MANIA allows us to bring iconic global IPs closer to Indian consumers through a supply chain built for speed, scale, and precision,” he said.

FAN MANIA’s Co-Founder and CEO, Nitin Jaggi, described the partnership as a strategic step rooted in long-term vision. “India stands at the intersection of a booming retail ecosystem and an ever-growing appetite for global pop culture. ZYOD’s manufacturing agility and market insight make them an ideal collaborator,” he said.

Akshay Gehi, Co-Founder and Partner at FAN MANIA, added that the partnership aligns with both companies’ shared vision of delivering high-quality merchandise in a fast-paced, evolving market. “We are excited to bring globally loved pop culture merchandise to Indian consumers,” he said.

Backed by FAN MANIA’s licensing success in markets like the Middle East and Turkey, the collaboration is expected to offer high-margin, trend-responsive collections. It strengthens ZYOD’s position in the fashion supply chain and offers Indian retailers a new avenue to meet evolving consumer expectations in an increasingly brand-driven market.
