Kiddo Raises INR 12.5 Crore Pre-Seed Led by Campus Fund

Kiddo Secures Pre-Seed Funding

Kiddo, an Indian quick-commerce platform focused exclusively on baby care, has raised INR 12.5 crore in Pre-Seed funding. The round was led by Campus Fund, which was the sole investor in the round.

What Kiddo Does

Kiddo is a quick-commerce platform built specifically for baby care, giving young parents fast delivery of age-appropriate products from a curated catalogue.

Since launch, the company has curated over 30,000 SKUs across baby essentials and fashion. It operates dark stores in Delhi-NCR, with plans to expand the network by year end.

Founder Background

Kiddo was founded by Ankit Kawatra, who earlier built the food-recovery nonprofit Feeding India through its acquisition by Zomato.

Round Details

  • Round type: Pre-Seed
  • Amount: INR 12,50,00,000 (INR 12.5 crore)
  • Date: September 17, 2026
  • Lead investor: Campus Fund
  • Participating investors: Campus Fund

Why It Matters

Quick commerce in India has expanded rapidly across categories, but baby care remains a specialized segment with distinct requirements around product curation, age-appropriateness, and trust. Kiddo's focus on a curated catalogue of over 30,000 SKUs positions it as a category-specific player rather than a generalist delivery platform.

The dark-store model in Delhi-NCR provides the infrastructure for fast delivery, and the stated plan to expand the network by year end indicates an intent to build density in the region before moving further.

Acquisition Angle

For acquirers in quick commerce, retail, or consumer platforms, Kiddo offers a category-focused asset with an established SKU catalogue and dark-store operations in a major Indian metro. The founder's prior experience scaling Feeding India to acquisition by Zomato is a relevant signal of operational execution.

The Pre-Seed round, led solely by Campus Fund, gives the company early capital to expand its dark-store footprint and deepen its catalogue.
