India’s childcare products, specifically the mother and baby care market, are predicted to increase by $26.35 billion, with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 11 percent during the time period 2020-2025, according to a report by Technavio. 


The mom-and-baby category has now become one of the sought-after segments in India, with new categories and products launched regularly. 


YourStory has curated a list of startups that operate in the space.

HunyHuny 

Founded in 2019 by husband-wife duo Vishal Mittal and Madhurima Rungta and later joined by Hemant Nayak, HunyHuny is a mother and baby brand based out of Gurugram.

Starting from 180 customers to reaching more than 35,000 babies, HunyHuny sells via its website and also has offline stores spread across Delhi-NCR. HunyHuny manufactures its products in various parts of the world.

As of now, the startup has approximately 500 SKUs. Its products range across seven categories: baby furniture, baby transport, baby essentials, baby wear, baby accessories, maternity lingerie, and maternity wear.

 

The company’s revenue per month now is Rs 75 lakh and it expects a growth of 10X with the capital infusion.

The startup’s aim is to give 100 percent sustainable products to the babies. All the fabrics that it uses are natural.
