Swara Baby, an Indian contract manufacturer of baby diapers, adult diapers and feminine hygiene products, has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO).The proposed IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares worth ₹500 crore and an offer for sale (OFS), taking the total issue size to ₹1,000 crore.

The OFS includes the sale of shares worth up to ₹300 crore by Brainbees Solutions Ltd., the parent company of FirstCry. Brainbees currently owns a 76.59% stake in Swara Baby.
