Menstrual hygiene brand Fabpad raises an undisclosed amount in seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures

Fabpad, an Indian menstrual hygiene brand, has raised an undisclosed amount in a seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures. The funds raised will be used to expand distribution and market presence across direct-to-consumer channels, online marketplaces, quick-commerce platforms, and offline retail. Part of the fund will also go towards brand-building, customer acquisition, senior growth and operations hires and working capital to support a robust and transparent order book across consumer, institutional, and private-label channels.

With an existing multi-channel presence across direct-to-consumer platforms, leading online marketplaces, quick-commerce channels, institutional and CSR initiatives, and private-label manufacturing for a range of domestic and international brands, Fabpad operates successfully across both reusable and disposable menstrual hygiene segments, therefore meeting diverse consumer needs and use cases. The startup has supplied products at scale to NGOs, institutions, and large purchasers while simultaneously building a pan-India footprint through an asset-light operating model. Headquartered in Kolkata, the company plans to establish offices in Hyderabad to strengthen its access to the startup ecosystem and support hiring of senior talent across growth, technology, and leadership roles. 

Minal Shah, Principal - South East Asia, IPV, says, “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.”

Fabpad has strong revenue visibility for the upcoming quarters, supported by a healthy and growing order book. Driven by confirmed demand, channel expansion, and repeat customer behavior, the company’s projections remain robust.  Fabpad is focused on sustainable scaling and margin improvement through operational leverage while demonstrating capital-efficient execution that has laid a scalable foundation for long-term growth.

Fabpad is led by Shripriya Dhelia, Founder and Director, who drives product direction, brand building, and community-led initiatives, with a strong focus on sustainability, menstrual equity, and product-led innovation. Dipesh Dhelia, Chief Executive Officer, oversees overall strategy, growth, and execution, bringing deep experience across operations, supply chain, manufacturing partnerships, and scaling both consumer and B2B businesses.

Dipesh Dhelia, CEO, Fabpad adds, “The next phase is about aggressive, responsible growth. We’re scaling faster across products and channels while fundamentally re-engineering period care to be more sustainable, affordable, and performance driven. Our ambition is not to participate in this category, but to reset its standards, 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”.

India’s menstrual hygiene market, estimated at over USD 1 billion, continues to grow steadily driven by increasing awareness, improved access, and institutional adoption. Globally, the menstrual hygiene market is projected to reach approximately USD 24 billion by 2030. Sustainable and reusable products are expected to grow faster than the overall category, supported by long-term cost efficiency and environmental awareness.
