## About

Based in Maharashtra, India, and founded in 2018 by its CEO Ajinkya Dhariya, PadCare Labs Private Limited operates as a smart hygiene management solution that starts with menstrual product availability and ends with the generation of recyclable output from soiled pads. In February 2026, PadCare Labs Private Limited raised an undisclosed amount of pre-series A funding led by Rainmatter, with participation from other investors 3i Partners, Lavni Ventures, Brigade Enterprises Ltd, 3one4Capital Advisors and PKRBCV Shroff Trust.  The round was part of a larger USD 3 million pre-series A and debt funding.

PadCare Labs Private Limited provides installation of Padcare bins placed inside individual cubicles of female-exclusive public washrooms with storage capacity up to 60 pads for up to a month. The waste is collected on a weekly or fortnightly basis based on the footfall. It’s further transported to the city’s centralized PadCare processing unit where cellulose and plastic output is generated out of it.

The company plans to use the February 2026 funding to scale its recycling capacity by setting up additional processing plants and support expansion and leadership hiring.
