About Nua:

Nua is a venture-funded, direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand transforming women's wellness in India. Starting with our innovative, chemical-free and India's only fully customisable sanitary pads, we are on a mission to develop holistic and personalized solutions for solving real problems that women face. We do this by building a wellness platform with great products, an impactful community and a personalized customer experience. With a growing community of over 15 lakh women, we are already India's largest and most engaged digital-first FemTech brand.

Our story began with a pad. And not just any pad that could be picked off the shelves but one that was truly thought around a woman's needs. Since then, we have grown multi-fold with innovative, inclusive and effective products that are Made Safe certified and backed by science. We continue to co-create products with our community and fuel the D2C revolution through deep consumer insights and investments in technology.

Nua has raised over $22 million in venture funding, backed by marquee investors including Lightbox Ventures, Kae Capital, Mirabilis Investment Trust, Deepika Padukone and Vindi Singh Banga, and Kamini Banga of the Banga family office.
