Fabpad Raises Seed Funding Led by Inflection Point Ventures to Expand Menstrual Hygiene Access in India

Fabpad, an Indian menstrual hygiene brand, has raised an undisclosed amount in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures. The funding will be used to accelerate distribution and expand Fabpad’s market presence across direct-to-consumer platforms, online marketplaces, quick-commerce channels, and offline retail. The round will also support brand-building, customer acquisition, senior hires across growth and operations, and working capital to maintain a transparent and scalable order pipeline across consumer, institutional, and private-label channels.

Fabpad operates across both reusable and disposable menstrual hygiene segments, addressing affordability, comfort, and access within Indian contexts. The brand currently maintains a multi-channel presence through direct-to-consumer platforms, leading online marketplaces, quick-commerce services, institutional and CSR programmes, and private-label manufacturing for domestic and international brands. The company has supplied menstrual hygiene products at scale to NGOs, institutions, and large buyers, while continuing to build a pan-India footprint through an asset-light operating model.

Headquartered in Kolkata, Fabpad plans to establish an office in Hyderabad to strengthen its engagement with the startup ecosystem and support the hiring of senior talent across growth, technology, and leadership functions.

Minal Shah, Principal – South East Asia, Inflection Point Ventures, 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 reports strong revenue visibility for the coming quarters, supported by a growing order book, confirmed demand, channel expansion, and repeat customer behaviour. The company is focused on sustainable scaling and margin improvement through operational efficiencies, while maintaining a capital-efficient approach to long-term growth.

The company is led by Shripriya Dhelia, Founder and Director, who oversees product direction, brand building, and community-led initiatives with a focus on sustainability, menstrual equity, and product-led innovation. Dipesh Dhelia, Chief Executive Officer, leads strategy, growth, and execution, with experience across operations, supply chain, manufacturing partnerships, and scaling 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 is estimated to be valued at over USD 1 billion and continues to grow with increasing awareness, improved access, and institutional adoption. Globally, the menstrual hygiene market is projected to reach approximately USD 24 billion by 2030, with reusable and sustainable products expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall category.
