May 20<\/strong>: SuperBottoms, India\u2019s leading D2C brand for baby-care products, raised US$3 million from Saama Capital, DSG Consumer Partners, and Venture Catalysts. Their core product is an innovative reusable diapering range. SuperBottoms launched one-of-its-kind SuperSoft Underwear for kids and introduced 4 new styles in their Everyday Wear clothing collection. The company was founded in Nov 2018 by Pallavi Utagi and has been a disruptor in the diapering space that has otherwise been a stronghold of FMCG giants. Their innovative, patent-pending diaper design – UNO – is a best seller and category leader by a significant margin. The funds will be utilised for building a robust senior team that can expand the company\u2019s reach to increase their base of loyalist consumers.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the same Ms. Pallavi Utagi, Founder & CEO, SuperBottoms<\/strong> said, “We have been doubling every year until now – thanks to a very strong product, solid customer support, and an immensely loyal customer community of 1 lakh+ parents whom we are always grateful to. Going ahead, we wish to further strengthen our leadership position with strategic hires at key levels, who can take the brand to newer regional markets and expand in offline channels as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The brand enjoys a lot of trust and loyalty which the team will be looking at leveraging in the coming year – as they work towards launching functional clothing such as underwear and innerwear for kids in the age group of 4-8 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of now, all the underwear for kids that are available in the market are mini adult garments. The products are not designed keeping kids and their unique needs in mind. Our customers associate SuperBottoms with thoughtfully made products, and we remain true to that with our newer underwear and everyday wear range as well with minimal seams, smart fabrics, and comfort-first designs\u201d, says Saumya Agrawal who has joined the team from Flipkart as VP-Marketplaces to build SuperBottoms\u2019 presence on eCommerce channels.<\/p>\n

“SuperBottoms has clearly built an identity for itself as a better-for-baby brand of baby essentials. As an insurgent in the space of cloth diapering, we see immense potential for the brand as it now looks at aggressive expansion. With the new round of funds, we are truly looking forward to taking SuperBottoms to newer heights as we build an offline presence along with a portfolio of thoughtful and functional everyday wear.” says SalilUtagi, Finance Controller, SuperBottoms.<\/p>\n
