IPF: A New Era for Kids’ Products Marketplace

IPF, a pioneering peer-to-peer marketplace for children’s products, has secured Rs 3.2 crore (around $375,000) in seed funding. This round was led by Titan Capital, with contributions from Better Capital and angel investors such as Ranjit Pratap Singh, Aashish Jindal—co-founder of Grip Invest, Vivek Gulati, and Abhishek Bhayana. The newly acquired funds will be directed towards enhancing technology and scalability of the platform, streamlining logistics and quality control operations, and boosting parent acquisition in major cities, as stated in a press release from IPF.

About IPF

Founded in 2024 by Priyadershita Singh and Abhas Mittal, IPF serves as a platform dedicated to buying and selling pre-loved children’s products. The aim is to enable parents to access high-quality items in an affordable and sustainable manner. By merging community trust with user-friendly technology, IPF offers a secure alternative to traditional retail channels, specifically designed for families.

Addressing Market Gaps

IPF seeks to tackle significant challenges in the market where parents often face difficulties finding a safe and reliable method to buy and sell high-quality children’s products that are usually slightly used but can be expensive when purchased new. Traditional resale channels and classifieds platforms often fall short, lacking the necessary verification, logistical support, and safety assurances that parents typically look for.

Future Plans and Developments

Based in Bengaluru, IPF intends to invest in product intelligence, implement safer verification mechanisms, and enhance operational capabilities to cater to millions of families in the forthcoming years. Following the launch of its in-app payment system in March 2025, IPF reports significant traction, now reaching parents across both metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas of India.
