Founding

IMbesharam was founded in 2013 by entrepreneurs Salim Rajan and Raj Armani in response to the lack of comprehensive online resources catering to adult needs in India.[4]

Business model

According to a 2020 article by Mint, three of the brand's five best-selling products were female vibrators.[5] Among the company's customers, 54% were women and 46% were men. According to a 2022 estimate, the company was projected to exceed Rs 40 crore in sales by 2023.[6]

In 2022, IMBesharam provided seed funding to the Sangya Project, an Indian sex-tech startup, to manufacture inexpensive sexual wellness products and sex toys in India.[6] In 2022, IMBesharam was planning to list its products on online marketplaces too. Their products were listed on Snapdeal, an Indian e-commerce company.[6]
