Kidswear brand expansion and growth in retail.
Delhi NCR-based kidswear brand Kidbea has raised ₹30 Cr (approximately $3.2 million) in a Series A funding round. The investment was led by Enrission India Capital, with participation from Inflection Point Ventures, LetsVenture, FE Securities, and existing investors such as Venture Catalysts and Nazara Technologies’ Nitish Mittersain.
Additional participants in the funding round included Mamaearth’s Ghazal Alagh, Unacademy cofounder Roman Saini, several family offices, and angel investors. Founded in 2021 by Swapnil Srivastav, Mohammad Hussain, Aman Kumar Mahto, and Ankita Rani, Kidbea specializes in sustainable clothing made from bamboo for children, utilizing a patent-pending textile finish that resists liquid and oil-based stains.
The company plans to allocate the fresh capital to expand its retail presence to over 100 flagship stores and enter more than 200 multi-brand outlets across India within the next 12 to 24 months. A portion of the funding will also support the launch of new product categories.
Kidbea, which began as a D2C brand, has transitioned to an omnichannel model, selling its products through its website, e-commerce marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart, and physical stores in cities including Hyderabad, Pune, and Bengaluru. The brand’s product range includes rompers, onesies, nightwear, newborn essentials, and accessories for infants and toddlers.
The company reported a 97% year-over-year revenue increase to ₹41 Cr in FY25 and aims to achieve ₹500 Cr in revenue with a public listing by 2030. Kidbea competes with brands like Ed-a-Mamma and Nino Bambino in the Indian kidswear market, which is projected to reach between $27.1 billion and $29.4 billion by 2030-2033, with a CAGR of approximately 3%.
