Zomato: Former Zomato top executive Gaurav Gupta launches healthtech startup Gabit

The startup raised seed funding of $9.5 million last year from Norwest Venture Partners, and other angel invesors including Amazon senior vice president Amit Agarwal, Zomato cofounder and CEO Deepinder Goyal, Cars24 cofounder and CEO Vikram Chopra, and Cred founder Kunal Shah-led QED Innovation Labs.

Other current and former Zomato executives have also participated in the company’s seed round. These include the company’s chief financial officer Akshant Goyal, and another cofounder Mohit Gupta.

Gupta, who founded Gabit with his wife Aparna Shahi, wrote in a LinkedIn post that the platform will offer products and services such as skincare products, personalised nutrition and fitness plans, fitness wearables, nutritional products and other healthtech products.

Gabit is a one stop platform for all your health and wellness needs — expect high impact offerings in the form of skincare products, personalised plans around nutrition and fitness, fitness wearables, health tech products, nutrition products, and much more, all backed by science and technology.

“We at Gabit are taking a holistic approach towards health goals — combining the best of fitness, nutrition, sleep, mindfulness and skincare. Science tells us that our body doesn’t function in silos. In simpler words, health is interconnected. For instance, for getting fit or healthy ageing, you need to be active, eat better, control your stress and manage your sleep well,” he wrote in his post.
