Bengaluru, June 23 (UNI) Rabitat, a fast-growing D2C brand focused on kids’ drinkware and foodware, has secured Rs 40 crore in Series A funding, marking a major milestone in its bid to become India’s most trusted name in parenting essentials.
The round was co-led by RPSG Capital Ventures and DSG Consumer Partners, with participation from several prominent investors and startup founders.
The two-tranche funding round also saw investments from Capital A, Accurize Syndicate, Flair Writing Family Office, Eagle Venture Fund, AG Ventures, and renowned entrepreneurs from The Souled Store, LivSpace, and Curefit.

Echoing the sentiment, DSGCP Partner Hariharan Premkumar added, “Rabitat is redefining the space with globally certified, design-first products. With their clarity of purpose, they’re not just entering a large market—they’re reshaping it.”
