Diapers emerged into the #1 online kids retailer in America and was sold to Amazon.com for $545 million. After the acquisition, Rahul and Lisa turned their attention to the Indian market and launched Hopscotch with a vision to create the leading kids lifestyle brand.

We are backed by top serial entrepreneurs and venture funds including Eduardo Saverin (Co-Founder, Facebook), Toivo Annus (Co-Founder, Skype), Wei Yan (Co-Founder, Diapers.com), Hari Kumar (Co-Founder, TPG-Axon), IIFL Ventures, and RPG Ventures.
