Contemporary innerwear and shapewear brand Pinq Polka has raised Rs 4 crore in a Pre-Series A round led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV). The capital will be deployed to scale marketing for the brand’s shapewear category, strengthen its team, and support working capital requirements.
Founded with the vision of building a comfort-first innerwear and shapewear brand for modern Indian women, Pinq Polka has rapidly scaled its presence in the lifestyle and personal wear segment. The brand gained national recognition after its appearance on Shark Tank India Season 4, which significantly accelerated its visibility and growth.
Over the past three years, the company has recorded nearly 19X growth, with revenue increasing from Rs 1.22 crore to Rs 20 crore driven by strong consumer demand, product innovation, and a robust international supply chain.
Commenting on the investment, Vinay Bansal, Founder CEO, Inflection Point Ventures, said, “The innerwear and shapewear market in India is evolving rapidly as consumers increasingly prioritise everyday comfort, fit, and self-expression. Pinq Polka has built a differentiated brand by focusing on real consumer needs and creating products that resonate with modern women. Their strong growth trajectory and brand recall position them well to scale in the fast-growing lifestyle and shapewear segment.”
Founded in 2017 by Manveen Ssharma, Pinq Polka was created to address the gap in the innerwear and shapewear industry where comfort, fit, and real-world functionality were often overlooked. The brand designs products aimed at supporting the lifestyle of modern women who prioritise both comfort and confidence. Built on insights, designed for impact—PINQ POLKA is redefining innerwear through research-led innovation.
Manveen Ssharma, Founder, Pinq Polka, said, “From day one, PINQ POLKA has focused on solving real, often overlooked challenges in women’s innerwear through thoughtful design and research. With Inflection Point Ventures coming on board, we’re accelerating our vision to build India’s most trusted comfort-first innerwear and shapewear brand—one that not only innovates consistently, but also leads the category in how women experience everyday essentials.
