The JITO Incubation and Innovation Foundation (JIIF), in collaboration with prominent investors HNI and Ah! Ventures, has invested in Plan B, India’s leading direct-to-consumer (D2C) kids’ innerwear brand. Founded by Sneha Raisoni and Vaidehi Shah, both Chartered Accountants and former investment bankers, Plan B is known for its high-quality, comfortable, and functional innerwear for children.
As first-generation entrepreneurs, Raisoni and Shah launched Plan B with no prior experience in textiles or initial financial support. Their venture has raised the bar for children’s everyday essentials, serving ages 6 months to 16 years with an emphasis on comfort and quality.
