Ayurvedic baby steps as BabyOrgano raises Rs 20 crore to scale wellness
MUMBAI: Looks like the kids’ wellness space just got a little more Ayur-mazing. BabyOrgano, the homegrown Ayurvedic wellness brand for children, has raised Rs 20 crore in a Pre-Series A round led by RPSG Capital Ventures, with participation from existing investor Sauce.vc. The new capital will fuel product innovation, marketing, and operations as the brand eyes Rs 100 crore+ revenue by FY27.
Born in 2020 from a mother’s quest to find authentic, chemical-free care for her child, BabyOrgano was founded by Riddhi and Ripul Sharma. In just five years, the duo has turned the brand into one of India’s fastest-growing Ayurvedic wellness companies for kids earning the trust of over a million parents and achieving a 40 per cent plus repeat purchase rate.
“At BabyOrgano, our mission has always been to bring the science and purity of Ayurveda into every child’s growing-up journey,” said BabyOrgano founder & CEO Riddhi Sharma. “This investment comes at a time when awareness and trust in natural, Ayurvedic care for children are growing rapidly. With a strong innovation pipeline, we’re committed to redefining kids’ health and wellness for a new generation of parents.”
The brand’s flagship product, Baalprashan Swarnaprashan Drops, is India’s first clinically approved Swarnaprashan, an immunity-boosting, memory-enhancing Ayurvedic formulation rooted in centuries-old wisdom. Alongside, products like Cold Relief Roll-On, Cough Syrup, Sitopaladi Churna, Chocovita Milk Mix, and Ayurvedic gummies blend traditional ingredients with modern formats that appeal to today’s parents and kids alike.
RPSG Capital Ventures managing partner Abhishek Goenka called BabyOrgano “a brand at the confluence of two powerful trends, Ayurveda’s modern resurgence and the growing demand for safe, chemical-free childcare.” He added, “The founders have built strong consumer trust and category clarity. We believe BabyOrgano can become a defining brand that carries India’s holistic wellness heritage into the global future.”
Echoing this sentiment Sauce.vc partner Yash Dholakia said, “BabyOrgano has built a trusted Ayurvedic brand for kids with high repeat purchases and consumer love. We’re excited to continue backing Riddhi and Ripul in their mission to make Ayurveda a natural part of every child’s routine.”
What began as one mother’s search for gentle, natural care has now blossomed into a brand that champions Ayurveda for the next generation. As BabyOrgano continues to expand its product range and reach, it’s proving that when ancient wisdom meets modern parenting, wellness grows naturally.
