Bengaluru-based IPF, a peer-to-peer marketplace focused on preloved children’s products, has raised Rs 3.2 crore in a seed funding round to expand its platform and operations across India. The round was led by Titan Capital, the venture firm founded by Kunal Bahl, with participation from Better Capital and a group of early-stage angel investors.
The investor lineup includes Pratilipi co-founder and CEO Ranjit Pratap Singh, Grip Invest co-founders Aashish Jindal and Vivek Gulati, and NearPe Technologies co-founder Abhishek Bhayana. The capital infusion values the startup’s early traction in a segment that is beginning to see structured digital solutions.
Founded in 2024 by IIT Roorkee alumni Priyadershita Singh and Abhas Mittal, IPF was built to address a common challenge faced by young families. Children outgrow strollers, cribs, toys, and clothing quickly, leaving parents with lightly used products that often go unused or are difficult to resell. IPF enables parents to buy and sell these items directly with built-in safeguards that aim to reduce friction and risk.
The platform offers in-app payments, doorstep pickup and delivery, and buyer protection, positioning itself as a full-stack marketplace rather than a listings-only model. In March 2025, IPF rolled out its native payments feature, a move that helped standardise transactions and improve trust on the platform. Today, the company serves customers across metro and non-metro cities and reports a community of over 80,000 parents.
According to the founders, the newly raised funds will be deployed to strengthen the platform’s technology backbone, scale logistics and quality checks, and expand user acquisition in key urban clusters. Investments are also planned in verification systems and product intelligence to improve safety and reliability as transaction volumes grow.
Titan Capital said it sees strong potential in consumer-to-consumer commerce in India, particularly in categories driven by value, reuse, and trust. With rising costs of parenting and increasing awareness around sustainability, IPF is positioning itself at the intersection of affordability and responsible consumption, aiming to build a nationwide resale ecosystem for families.
