  "account": "Bengaluru-based baby care platform Peeko has secured Rs 67.4 crore in a Series A funding round, with Chiratae Ventures leading the investment, backed by Stellaris Venture Partners and several angel investors. The startup plans to utilize the funds for expansion, technology enhancement, and recruitment, aiming to strengthen its foothold in Bengaluru and venture into new cities. Peeko, co-founded by IIT alumni Chetan Sharma, Vivek Khetan, and Abhijit Gairola in 2025, caters to modern parents who prefer not to buy baby apparel and toys online due to a lack of tactile experience and rapid delivery. The platform boasts a curated inventory of 25,000-30,000 SKUs, including apparel, accessories, toys, learning materials, baby gear, and consumables, which are delivered within 60 minutes. Peeko's instant try-and-buy and return options have earned the trust of over one lakh parents since its launch eleven months ago. Co-founder Chetan Sharma highlighted the success of the try-and-buy feature, noting that most transacting users opt for this option during their purchases. With 60% delivery coverage in Bengaluru, Peeko aims to establish 6 dark stores by the end of 2026 to reach the entire city. Anoop N Menon, Partner and Consumer-Tech Lead at Chiratae Ventures, expressed confidence in Peeko's approach, stating that it fills a significant gap in the market with its deep curation, sub-60-minute delivery, and genuine try-and-buy experience.",
