Bangalore based IPF, India’s most trusted peer-to-peer marketplace for preloved kids’ products, has announced raising ₹3.2 crore (~$375,000) in seed funding led by Titan Capital, with participation from Better Capital and angel investors including Ranjit Pratap Singh (co-founder & CEO, Pratilipi), Aashish Jindal and Vivek Gulati (co-founders of Grip Invest), and Abhishek Bhayana (co-founder, NearPe Technologies).
IPF was founded in 2024 by IIT Roorkee ’15 batchmates and long-time friends Priyadershita Singh (Priya) and Abhas Mittal. Originally from Madhya Pradesh—Abhas from Dewas and Priya from Jabalpur—the duo share a deep commitment to building technology that meaningfully improves the lives of Indian families.
IPF grew out of the WhatsApp parenting communities that Priya has been running since 2023. These discussions consistently highlighted a major gap: parents needed a safe, structured, and trustworthy way to buy and sell high-quality kids’ products that are often lightly used but expensive when purchased new. Existing resale and classifieds platforms lacked the verification, logistics support and safety layers parents expect — a gap IPF set out to close.
IPF today offers a secure, fully integrated marketplace featuring in-app payments, doorstep logistics and buyer protection. Abhas Mittal and Priyadershita Singh, co-founders of IPF said, “Every barely-used stroller, crib or toy is an opportunity to save a family money and prevent waste. What began as a trusted parenting community of engaged parents has now grown into a movement for smarter and more sustainable parenting in India, with 80,000+ parents already on board. With Titan Capital’s support, our focus is to strengthen technology, deepen trust and safety, and ensure every transaction is simple, secure and seamless for parents across the country”.
Since launching its in-app payments feature in March 2025, IPF has seen strong traction. The platform now serves parents across India, in both metro and non-metro markets.
A spokesperson from Titan Capital added: “We believe C2C commerce is set to take off in India. IPF addresses a real and widespread need for Indian families. The team has built a marketplace that brings trust, transparency, and convenience to a category that has long lacked a dependable peer-to-peer solution. We are excited to partner with Priya and Abhas as they scale.”

The funds will be used to strengthen IPF’s technology and platform scalability, improve logistics and quality-control operations, and accelerate parent acquisition across key cities. The company will also invest in product intelligence, safer verification layers, and operational capabilities needed to serve millions of families in the coming years.
