Menstrual hygiene brand Fabpad raises funding led by Inflection Point Ventures

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 funds to grow its reach across direct-to-consumer channels, online marketplaces, quick-commerce platforms, and physical stores. It will also spend part of the funds on building its brand, attracting new customers, hiring senior staff for growth and operations, and managing working capital to support orders from consumer, 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 through multiple channels including its own direct-to-consumer platforms, major online marketplaces, quick commerce platforms, institutional and CSR programs and private-label manufacturing for indian and global brands. It operates in both reusable and disposable menstrual hygiene segments, serving different customer needs.

Fabpad supplies products in large quantities to NGOs, institutions and bulk buyers, while also building a pan-India presence using an asset-light business model.
