Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 15: FundooLabs., an innovative venture from Gujarat, is redefining the way children engage with science through its unique range of DIY scientific and sensory toys. With a strong vision to make science fun, interactive, and accessible, FundooLabs has carved a niche for itself in the growing active learning space. Founded by Naitik Chotai, an engineer-turned-entrepreneur, the brand was born out of a father’s desire to nurture his daughter’s curiosity and inspire thousands of children to fall in love with science.
With a solid foundation in engineering and a successful corporate career at Larsen & Toubro, Naitik took a bold step in 2016 to pursue his passion for practical science education. What started as hands-on science programs for schools soon evolved into a full-fledged product company specializing in safe, non-toxic DIY toys/kits designed to spark creativity and scientific thinking among children aged 4 to 14. FundooLabs’ product range includes chemistry-based DIY kits, squishy making kits, slime-making kits, and the signature Blobbie® Ready to Play Slime Range – all developed with a strong emphasis on safety, engagement, and cognitive skill-building.
The company’s journey reached a new milestone with its appearance on Shark Tank India Season 4, where Naitik presented FundooLabs to an esteemed panel of investors. Supported by a live demonstration from his daughter, the pitch highlighted the brand’s impact and potential, securing a deal of ₹66 lakh for 7% equity from renowned investors Anupam Mittal and Aman Gupta. The Shark Tank experience not only provided FundooLabs with the financial boost but also opened doors to strategic mentorship and growth opportunities, propelling the brand into the direct-to-consumer space and leading to a remarkable surge in online orders.
