About Wishlink

Wishlink is on a mission to revolutionize the creator economy and redefine how people shop. Were all about providing every user with a highly personalized shopping experience guided by creators, so they can find exactly what they want, in a very short time, while improving their online shopping experience severalfold.

Team and Investors

We started Wishlink in January 2022 when we discovered products on social media that we wanted to buy but could not (in some cases, actually did)! We are based out of Gurugram. We have recently raised a series A round of $7M, led by Fundamentum Elevation Capital .
