May 2026 | Startup Funding News | India –HealthFab has raised ₹20 crore (approximately $2.1 million) in a Series A funding round led by Atomic Capital.
The fresh capital will be used to expand its period care product portfolio, scale distribution through quick commerce and retail channels, and strengthen manufacturing capacity.
Funding to Drive Expansion in Women’s Health Segment
With increasing awareness around menstrual health and hygiene, the women’s wellness category in India is witnessing rapid growth.
HealthFab plans to leverage the new funding to:
- Launch new period care and wellness products
- Expand presence across quick commerce platforms and offline retail
- Increase production capabilities to meet growing demand
Founder’s Vision: Beyond Period Protection
Kiriti Acharjee, Co-founder and CEO, said:
“It took us five years to earn the trust of five lakh women. Five years of obsessing over one problem – leakage, until we solved it so completely that women stopped thinking about it altogether. That’s when we knew we’d built something real. But leakage is just one of the five days. What about the fatigue that hits on day two? The sleep that gets stolen on day three? The pain that no one talks about but every woman knows? We built trust on one product. Now we’re on a mission to serve the whole cycle — energy, sleep, pain and everything in between. The goal is five million women in three years. Not just protected. Truly cared for.”
Investor Perspective on Market Opportunity
Apoorv Gautam, Managing Partner at Atomic Capital, added:
“Womens wellness as a category is growing fast as more new age brands address and improve several aspects of it. HealthFab’s vision of building a complete care ecosystem for women not just for their days of periods but also overall health, deeply resonated with us. We believe that within women’s wellness, period care is a fast growing category and HealthFab is poised and determined to capture a large market share in the short term. Kiriti, Sourav, and Satyajit have been very open minded and easy to collaborate with from the day we met them. I believe our operating VC playbook will help unlock a lot of value and accelerate the company’s trajectory.”
