Alia Bhatt’s Sustainable Kidswear Brand Ed-a-Mamma valued at Rs 150 crore

Kidswear brand Ed-a-Mamma, founded by actor and investor Alia Bhatt, has seen a 10X growth in 10 months. While the business is entirely self-funded, investors in a Series A round are valuing the company at Rs. 150 crore, which sets a new benchmark for children’s clothing in India.

Speaking about the growth that the brand has marked, Alia said, “I am still learning about business, but I am so, so proud of what we have achieved in one year. It’s almost unreal. What started out as a small dream is now on its way to becoming a Rs 150 crore business. I’m absolutely thrilled with our new launches – all credit to my formidable team. Our next focus is to ramp up production and bring our consumers a bigger, even better spring summer collection next year.”

The startup has now launched a fully natural and sustainable Autumn Winter 2021 line.
