Faridabad, March 26, 2026: Contemporary innerwear and shapewear brand Pinq Polka has raised ₹4 crore in a Pre-Series A funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), marking a key milestone in its growth journey.
The company plans to utilize the fresh capital to scale marketing efforts, particularly for its shapewear category, expand its team, and meet working capital requirements.
Founded with a vision to create a comfort-first innerwear brand for modern Indian women, Pinq Polka has rapidly grown in the lifestyle and personal wear segment. The brand gained significant visibility after being featured on Shark Tank India Season 4, which helped accelerate its market presence and consumer reach.
Over the past three years, the company has achieved nearly 19-fold growth, with revenues rising from ₹1.22 crore in FY23 to ₹20 crore annually. This growth has been driven by strong consumer demand, product innovation, and a robust international supply chain.
Commenting on the investment, Vinay Bansal, Founder and CEO of Inflection Point Ventures, said the innerwear and shapewear market in India is evolving rapidly as consumers increasingly prioritise comfort, fit, and self-expression. He noted that Pinq Polka’s strong brand positioning and growth trajectory make it well-placed to scale further in the segment.
Founded in 2017 by Manveen Ssharma, the brand was created to address gaps in the innerwear market, particularly around comfort, fit, and everyday functionality. It focuses on research-led design to meet the evolving needs of modern consumers.
Manveen Ssharma brings over a decade of experience in marketing, brand building, and consumer engagement, with prior experience at organizations such as JSA. She is supported by Mandeep Singh, Chief Strategist at the company, who has held leadership roles at firms including Pernod Ricard.
Speaking on the funding, Manveen Ssharma said the company remains focused on solving overlooked challenges in women’s innerwear through thoughtful design and innovation, and aims to build one of India’s most trusted comfort-first brands in the category.
India’s lingerie and intimate wear market is currently valued at around ₹50,000 crore and is projected to reach ₹90,000 crore by 2030–31. Within this segment, shapewear and accessories are expected to contribute nearly 10%, while comfort wear could account for approximately 20%, reflecting evolving consumer preferences toward comfort-driven lifestyle products.
Inflection Point Ventures, which has invested over ₹1,200 crore across more than 280 startups to date, continues to strengthen its portfolio, having backed 18 startups in the fourth quarter of 2025 alone.
