My Thrift Baby Loot — India's Mom-Founded Baby Marketplace

My Thrift Baby Loot was started by Anisha — a mom who looked at her baby's barely-used stroller, a wardrobe full of outgrown onesies, and a cot that had seen exactly four months of action, and thought: there has to be a better way. Backed by IIM Bangalore and the Government of Maharashtra, MTBL is now India's trusted community for buying, selling, and giving away preloved baby products.

About Us

My Thrift Baby Loot, Where moms help moms... and our planet gets a little happier too 💚

Hey mama (and papa... see, I'm not a 100% biased.. just a lil lol)... welcome!

If you're here, chances are your house also has those overflowing drawers of tiny rompers, toys your kid swore they'd use, walkers, cribs, bottles, books, strollers, etc. — all outgrown way too fast.

And honestly... why should something used for just a few months end up in a cupboard... or worse, a landfill?

That's why My Thrift Baby Loot exists — to make it super easy (and guilt-free!) for parents to:

  • Buy quality preloved baby stuff
  • Sell what your little one has outgrown
  • Or simply give it away to another family who needs it

All while saving money, saving space, and doing something good for the planet !

How This All Started

Anisha Kapur Shetty, founder of My Thrift Baby Loot — India's mom-founded preloved baby marketplace

Hi! I'm Anisha, a mom just like you.

One day I looked around the house and realised: My baby had already outgrown half the things we bought with so much excitement... and most of it was literally like new. But I didn't know where to send it, who to trust, or how to make sure it would be used again.

So instead of letting it pile up, I started sharing, swapping, selling, and connecting with other moms who felt the same.

That tiny spark turned into a beautiful, powerful, supportive mom community of 23,000+ parents who believe that "preloved" is not second hand... it's second love 💛

Today, My Thrift Baby Loot is a movement. A happy little revolution in Indian parenting. And like every baby - Trust me, it hasn't been easy. This platform has had its share of tumbles, messy moments, and "what on earth am I doing?" days.

I started this as a mom who knew nothing about tech, startups or building a digital space — and I'm still learning every single day. So if some things feel a little slow, imperfect or work-in-progress, they truly are. But we're growing, improving and taking our tiny baby steps... with lots of love, patience and support from parents like you everyday !

What We're Really About

  • ❤️ Helping each other, not hoarding things — Every product gets a second life, another baby uses it, and another parent smiles.
  • 🌱 Being kinder to the planet — Less waste. Less guilt. More mindful parenting.
  • 💸 Saving money without compromising quality — Why pay full price for something your child will outgrow in months?
  • 🤝 Building a "we've got your back" parent community — We don't judge. We don't pressure. We just simply support !!!

So What Can You Do Here?

🌻 If you're a parent with outgrown stuff...
Don't let it sit in a cupboard. Let another child enjoy it. Sell it or give it away. Whatever feels right to you.

🌻 If you're shopping for your baby...
You'll find beautiful, barely-used, quality-checked items by real moms — at prices that actually feel great. Explore now!

Actually, in reality, not everything here is "used". In fact, a huge part of our marketplace is filled with brand new, never-used items — gifts, extras, over-shopped moments (we've all been there, I know) — now finding the right homes at the right price.

Great quality + great price + no guilt = total mom win !

Oh and mom-to-mom secret? Sometimes even brands come to declutter here ! So don't be surprised if you find brand-new goodies at crazy-good prices — turning this space into a total win for moms, brands, and the entire eco-system.

Little Wins That Mean a Lot to Us

What started as a small idea between moms has grown much bigger than I ever imagined. My Thrift Baby Loot has been built with a lot of empathy and heart and I guess that's why, along the way, we've been lucky to receive love, support and belief from some truly incredible institutions.

We've been:

  • ✔ Selected & Supported by IIM Bangalore's NSRCEL
  • ✔ Chosen as one of the top startups by the Government of Maharashtra under the Cornell Maha60 Accelerator Program
  • ✔ Recognised with national awards for sustainability, women leadership & impact, including:

Every recognition feels less like a trophy... and more like a big warm hug saying, "You're on the right path, mama. Keep going."

But, We're Just Getting Started

This isn't just a marketplace. It's a mindset shift. It's parents changing the way India thinks about "secondhand".

And together... we're proving that caring for our kids and caring for our planet can go hand-in-hand and is totally the new "cool" !

Come Be a Part of This Mom-Made Movement

Let's declutter with purpose.

Let's shop smarter.

Let's raise conscious little humans together

Let another child grow in what your baby has outgrown.
