Bharat Value Fund invests Rs 122 Cr in hygiene care startup Millennium Babycares

Millennium Babycares Ltd, which operates in the hygiene care sector, has secured Rs 122 crore in a private placement round.

The startup will use the funding to fuel its growth plans, including plant expansions and expanding its market presence through general trade and export channels.

The investment was led by Bharat Value Fund (BVF)—a Category II alternative investment fund launched by India Inflection Opportunity Trust in August this year with a targeted corpus of Rs 2,000 crore. BVF primarily targets pre-IPO investment opportunities in Indian growth-stage enterprises.

"With this private placement, we are confident that Millennium is well-positioned for a robust growth trajectory. We remain committed to our mission of delivering hygiene care products while expanding our market reach and enhancing value for our stakeholders,” Ramprakash Beria, Founder, Millennium, said in a statement.
