New Delhi [India], March 25: Pune-based entrepreneur Kranti Bari, Founder and CEO of BabyTeddy, has been honoured with two prestigious national awards for her contribution to innovation, intellectual property and women-led entrepreneurship in India.
Kranti Bari received the National Intellectual Property Award from the Government of India at a ceremony held 9th March 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, in the presence of Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Minister of Commerce and Industry. The award recognises innovators whose intellectual property has demonstrated real-world commercial impact.

Kranti Bari is the founder of BabyTeddy, a brand built with a strong focus on safety-driven design and innovation in baby products. She has developed multiple patented designs that have been successfully commercialized into products widely used by families across India and abroad, with several becoming top-selling products on leading e-commerce platforms.
Her journey reflects the power of perseverance, having built a bootstrapped and profitable brand from the ground up, while also actively defending her intellectual property through legal enforcement — reinforcing the importance of protecting innovation in India’s growing startup ecosystem.
Speaking about the recognition, Kranti Bari said:
“This recognition is not just for me but for every woman building something from scratch with limited resources and strong belief. Innovation becomes meaningful when it reaches people and improves everyday life.”
As a woman entrepreneur, Kranti Bari’s journey highlights the evolving role of women in India’s innovation and startup landscape — not just as participants but as leaders creating impact-driven, scalable businesses.
