Stellaris leads funding in Peeko and India deals worth $236m

Bengaluru-headquartered Peeko, a babycare-focused quick commerce platform, has raised $3.2 million in its seed funding round led by Stellaris Venture Partners.

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), the startup said in a statement.

The funding will be used to build a superior product experience, expand curated supply across babycare categories, and invest in cross-functional hiring, the statement added.

“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.

Co-founded in 2025 by IIT alumni Sharma (ex-Leap), Vivek Khetan (ex-OYO), and Abhijit Gairola (ex-Leap), Peeko offers products across apparel and accessories, toys and learning, baby gear, and consumables, with delivery in under 60 minutes, along with try-and-buy and instant return options.
