Bengaluru, August 26, 2025: Peeko, a babycare-focused quick commerce platform, has raised $3.2 million in seed funding led by Stellaris Venture Partners. The funding will be used to build a superior product experience, expand curated supply across babycare categories, and invest in cross-functional hiring.
Peeko is addressing a key pain point for busy parents who struggle with catalogue fatigue, inconsistent product quality, and a poor shopping experience. By offering the right product assortment with delivery in under 60 minutes, along with try-and-buy and instant return options, Peeko aims to become the go-to platform for parents. The company is also building trust through hygienic, safe, and quality-controlled products, ensuring a seamless experience across shopping, delivery, and post-purchase support.
Founded by IIT alumni Chetan Sharma (ex-Leap), Vivek Khetan (ex-OYO), and Abhijit Gairola (ex-Leap), Peeko was inspired by the founders’ firsthand experiences in navigating the challenges of babycare purchases. The absence of a convenient, trustworthy platform catering to babycare needs uniquely positions Peeko to serve this expanding opportunity.
“Parents today lack a convenient, reliable solution for their babycare needs. They often have to step out for purchases or wait days for online deliveries, only to face issues with fit, returns and refunds. At Peeko, our goal is to provide the right product assortment at the right price and quality – delivered quickly, with the added convenience of try-and-buy and instant returns. We are building a brand that parents can trust and love, every single time,” said Chetan Sharma, Co-founder of Peeko.
Peeko plans to offer curated, high-quality products across apparel and accessories, toys and learning, baby gear, and consumables. The platform also leverages AI to personalise product recommendations, enable a seamless shopping experience and power a differentiated try-and-buy experience tailored to consumer preferences.
Mayank Jain, Principal, Stellaris Venture Partners, said, “The baby and kids market is large, fragmented, and largely unbranded, with attractive gross margins. While offline remains the dominant channel in this market, e-commerce has struggled to penetrate meaningfully. Quick commerce presents an opportunity to combine offline reliability with online convenience for time-constrained parents. We believe Peeko can build a specialized platform that reimagines this category, and we’re excited to back them from the idea stage.”
Over the next 12-18 months, Peeko plans to scale operations in Bengaluru with multiple dark store launches, initiate pilots in other metros, and develop a differentiated supply chain for sourcing high-quality products. The company is also partnering with both established and emerging babycare brands to strengthen its curated assortment. Peeko will launch its app on Google Play Store in September this year, while its website www.peekonow.com is live.
The round also saw participation from angel investors including Maninder Gulati (former OYO), Kunal Bahl & Rohit Bansal (Titan Capital), Abhishek Goyal (Tracxn), Nitin Gupta (Uni), and Arjun Vaidya (V3 Ventures).
