Indian menstrual hygiene brand Fabpad has raised an undisclosed amount in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures.
The startup will use the money to expand its reach through direct-to-consumer channels, online marketplaces, quick-delivery platforms and physical stores.
Fabpad will also use the funds to build its brand, attract new customers, hire senior staff for growth and operations, and manage working capital to handle orders from regular, institutional, and private-label customers.
Dipesh Dhelia, CEO, Fabpad added, “The next phase is about aggressive, responsible growth. We’re scaling faster across products and channels while fundamentally reengineering period care to be more sustainable, affordable and performance driven. Our ambition is not to participate in this category but to reset its standards which proving that environmentally responsible menstrual care can also be mainstream, high quality and commercially scalable. We believe this shift will create real momentum in the market and redefine how period care is built in India.”Minal Shah, Principal, South East Asia, IPV shared, “It is an unspoken fundamental right for women to have access to menstrual products that protect their health. However, a significant gap persists due to a lack of awareness, affordability, and, in many cases, availability constraints. Fabpad successfully bridges this gap through their D2C multi-channel presence, making it affordable with their asset-light scale model and their pan-India presence. Thus, making menstrual hygiene more affordable, widely accessible, and helping drive greater awareness around menstrual health.”
Founded in 2020 by Shripriya Khaitan Dhelia, Kolkata-based Fabpad is a menstrual hygiene brand that offers sustainable and organic products such as reusable cloth pads, period panties, organic cotton disposable pads, and menstrual cups.
The company sells its products through many channels, including its own online stores, major e-commerce platforms, quick-delivery services, institutional and CSR programs and private-label manufacturing for Indian and international brands.
Fabpad offers both reusable and disposable menstrual hygiene products, catering to different needs of its customers.
