In terms of performance, Sirona claims to have been growing 100 percent YoY for the past three years and that it has been profitable for the last three years. The brand also hosts a number of awareness camps on the importance of menstrual hygiene for under-privileged women and won two CSR awards last year for the same.


They have won awards like ‘National Entrepreneurship Award’ by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, ET Startup of the year (Social Enterprise), Tie ‘Spirit of Manufacturing’, PhD Chamber of Commerce‘ Award for Excellence – Start-up’ etc. and recently made it to the Amazon Global Accelerator Program.


Commenting on the investment, Lead Investor from angel round, Vikas Kuthiala said, Sirona has successfully developed a range of products that women of all age groups trust while addressing their regular intimate hygiene needs. The current investment should help further scale the distribution and market growth of the brand portfolio across India and beyond.


Padmaja Ruparel, Founding partner, IAN Fund, said,

Sirona is focused on the market for women-oriented products, a large and rapidly-growing category. And then, post pandemic, by adding a hygiene-focused product portfolio, Sirona has created a huge opportunity for itself. But the bet for us are the entrepreneurs of the company, and the belief in Deep, his vision to create a category-leader, and his passion and ability to scale the company to become a market leader.
