Bangalore-based health and hygiene startup HealthFab made a notable appearance on Shark Tank India Season 4, Episode 32.
Founded in 2019 by Sourav Chakrabarty, Kirti Bikram Acharjee, and Satyajit Chakrabarty, the brand offers innovative and eco-friendly solutions, including leak-proof, reusable cotton period panties designed to provide women with a safe, comfortable, and sustainable menstrual hygiene option.
The founders entered the tank seeking ₹1 crore in exchange for 3% equity, valuing their company at ₹33.33 crore.
They highlighted HealthFab’s mission to revolutionize menstrual hygiene by prioritizing comfort, quality, and environmental sustainability.
During the discussion, Namita Thapar asked if the company had considered developing panties for urinary incontinence, emphasizing the demand for such products. The founders revealed that they were already working on a new SKU addressing this issue and planned to launch it soon.
Vineeta Singh noted that while similar products were available globally, they had yet to gain traction in India, positioning HealthFab as a potential pioneer in the space.
