was truly thought around a woman's needs. Since then, we have grown multi-fold with innovative,

inclusive and effective products that are Made Safe certified and backed by science. We continue to co-create products with our community and fuel the D2C revolution through deep consumer insights and investments in technology.

Nua has raised over $22 million in venture funding, backed by marquee investors including Lightbox Ventures, Kae Capital, Mirabilis Investment Trust, Deepika Padukone and Vindi Singh Banga, and Kamini Banga of the Banga family office.
