Fabpad, an Indian menstrual hygiene brand, has raised an undisclosed amount in its seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV). The capital will be deployed to accelerate distribution and expand the brand’s presence across direct-to-consumer channels, online marketplaces, quick-commerce platforms, and offline retail. A portion of the funds will also support brand-building, customer acquisition, senior talent hiring, and working capital to maintain a robust and transparent order book across consumer, institutional, and private-label channels.
Founded to address affordability, comfort, and scalable access, Fabpad is uniquely positioned to meet the menstrual hygiene needs of Indian consumers. The company innovates across both reusable and disposable segments, catering to diverse use cases while scaling sustainably. Its multi-channel footprint already spans direct-to-consumer platforms, leading online marketplaces, quick-commerce channels, institutional and CSR initiatives, and private-label manufacturing for domestic and international brands.
Headquartered in Kolkata, Fabpad plans to expand operations to Hyderabad to strengthen access to the startup ecosystem and recruit senior talent in growth, technology, and leadership roles.
Minal Shah, Principal – South East Asia, IPV, stated, “Access to menstrual products is a fundamental right for women, yet gaps persist due to awareness, affordability, and availability constraints. Fabpad bridges this gap through its D2C multi-channel model, asset-light scale, and pan-India presence, making menstrual hygiene affordable, accessible, and driving awareness around menstrual health.”
Fabpad’s strong revenue visibility is supported by a growing order book, confirmed demand, and repeat customer behavior. The company focuses on sustainable scaling, margin improvement, and capital-efficient execution, laying the foundation for long-term growth.
Dipesh Dhelia, CEO, Fabpad, added, “The next phase is about aggressive, responsible growth. We aim to scale across products and channels while re-engineering period care to be sustainable, affordable, and performance-driven. Our ambition is to reset standards in the category, proving environmentally responsible menstrual care can be mainstream, high-quality, and commercially scalable.”
With the Indian menstrual hygiene market valued at over USD 1 billion and expected to grow steadily, reusable and sustainable products are projected to expand faster than the overall category, driven by long-term cost efficiency and environmental awareness.
