HealthFab Raises Rs 20 Crore to Expand Menstrual Care Platform Beyond Period Underwear

Bengaluru-based menstrual hygiene startup HealthFab has raised Rs 20 crore from early-stage investor Atomic Capital to expand beyond its reusable period underwear into a comprehensive period care platform addressing pain, sleep, and energy. Founded in 2019, HealthFab serves over 5 lakh users and plans to strengthen its offline presence and invest in research and development. The company’s revenues grew from Rs 70 lakh in FY21 to Rs 10.6 crore in FY25, though losses widened to Rs 3.3 crore amid expansion efforts. The Indian menstrual hygiene market is estimated at Rs 12,000 crore, with growing adoption of reusable and wellness products.
