Bebeburp: Why we Invested?
What is BebeBurp?
Founded by Shruti Tibrewal, Chirag Gupta, and Bharat Tibrewal, BebeBurp was born from a mother’s desire to provide her child with better nutrition. The brand offers a range of millet-based baby foods, including porridge, healthy puffs, and ragi cookies. These products are not only nutritious but also free from harmful preservatives and additives, offering parents a healthier, organic alternative to the standard options available in the market.

Industry Insights
India, home to over 309 million children under the age of 12, has the largest child population globally, making it a significant market for childcare products. The baby food sector, valued at $2.08 billion in 2022, is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 14%, reaching $4 billion by 2028. This growth is fueled by rising awareness of childcare, increasing disposable incomes, and a shift towards convenient, nutritious options for children, particularly in urban areas where dual-income households are on the rise. Spending per child on childcare products in India is projected to more than double by 2028, with a growth rate of 14%, far outpacing the USA (3%) and China (6%). These trends highlight the expanding opportunity for the baby food industry, especially for healthier and organic alternatives that cater to the evolving needs of Indian parents.

Traditional packaged baby foods, often filled with preservatives, are being replaced by fresher, healthier alternatives. BebeBurp meets this need with its millet-based offerings, which are rich in fiber and essential minerals.
Additionally, as more parents become aware of the link between nutrition and child development, they are seeking out brands that prioritize health without compromising on taste or convenience. BebeBurp has successfully managed to strike this balance, offering delicious, organic food options that children enjoy while giving parents peace of mind.
