“There is skincare for babies and then you have products for adults. However, there is hardly anyone who provides skincare and haircare products for 3- to 13-year-old children,” said Chanakya Gupta, cofounder of Tuco Kids. “For us it's not a market share game but a category creation game and this funding is predominantly going into that.”

“We are seeing demand from across the country because mothers are looking for quality products for their children. We are seeing 50-60% of our customers coming back to us to buy again. It’s an extremely sticky category,” said Aishvarya Murali, cofounder of Tuco Kids.

“Tuco is unlocking a high-potential, under-served category,” said Pavitra Gupta, Director, RTP Global. “They are creating this market through sharp product innovation.”
