A Toddler Thing intends to use these funds to scale – reach new geographic areas across India, research and development for new sustainable fabrics and human resources. The founders understand that there are several fabrics in the market with a vast potential to become the most sustainable, safe and cost-effective alternatives to conventional forms of organic cotton but remain underutilized.
