What happened
Gabit, a startup specializing in health and wellness wearables, secured ₹36.2 crore in a fresh funding round from a group of angel investors including Deepak Gupta, Arnab Basu, and Vilas Dhar. This round was split between March and April 2026 allotments, with the startup issuing pre-Series A5 compulsorily convertible preference shares (CCPS) at a significant premium.
With this infusion, Gabit’s cumulative funding has crossed $12.7 million. The startup had previously raised $9.5 million in 2023 from venture capitalists including Norwest Venture Partners and prominent founders such as Deepinder Goyal and Kunal Shah. Gabit’s founders are Gaurav Gupta, a former Zomato cofounder, and Arpana Shahi from SkillTap.
Why it matters
Gabit operates in a competitive and rapidly evolving segment of India’s wearable healthtech ecosystem, providing smart wearables like their titanium smart ring that tracks over 150 health markers, alongside AI-powered coaching and personalized products. The holistic approach covers fitness, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and skincare, addressing growing consumer demand for integrated wellness platforms.
This funding will enable Gabit to deepen its offerings by expanding its nutrition and skincare lines, strengthened by its recent acquisition of the Swedish nutrition brand Näck. As India’s healthtech market shifts toward AI-driven, preventive care and holistic wellness, Gabit’s integrated platform positions it well to capture market share from rivals such as Ultrahuman and Muse Wearables.
What to watch next
Gabit plans to leverage this capital to scale its product portfolio and enhance features of its AI-driven health ecosystem. Tracking developments around their new nutrition and skincare expansions will be crucial, especially amid intensifying competition and rising investor interest in India’s healthtech space.
Additionally, industry observers should monitor India’s wearable healthtech market growth, projected to reach $10.26 billion by 2031. Gabit’s progress alongside other recent funding successes, including startups like Sychedelic and Temple, will be key indicators of how integrated wellness platforms evolve in this fast-growing sector.
