- Padcare Labs
Participated · Series A · Feb 2026
Founded in 2018, PadCare Labs operates a chemo-mechanical recycling system that converts used sanitary pads into cellulose pulp and plastic, enabling the manufacture of items such as paper stationery and moulded goods. The company serves more than 685 enterprise and institutional clients across 24 Indian cities and manages sanitary-waste collection at over 2,000 sites. It currently runs facilities in Pune and Bengaluru with a combined capacity of 500 kg per day, operating at roughly 96 % utilisation and achieving a 99.8 % material recovery rate. Financially, PadCare reported FY25 revenue of ₹15 crore, an 8 % PAT margin and 26 % EBITDA margins, maintaining profitability for two consecutive years while growing at a 136 % CAGR. Future plans include commissioning the PadCareX gigafactory in Pune, expanding recycling hubs in Bengaluru and Delhi NCR, and scaling total capacity to 2,000 metric tonnes annually by March 2027. The firm also intends to launch PadCare Orbit, a B2C sanitary-waste management app, and expand distribution of its Rebirth recycled-stationery line from 2 % of revenue in FY25 to about 10 % in FY26. Overall, PadCare positions itself as a technology-driven solution for India’s under-addressed sanitary-waste segment while maintaining strong operational efficiency and profitability.
