Inside BENEO’s new pulse plant: pioneering sustainable protein from faba beans
The fresh capital will be used to strengthen AI-powered personalisation layers, a dark store network for quicker deliveries, and establish an offline retail presence
HyugaLife, founded by Sachin Parikh, Anvi Shah, and Neehar Modi, has raised Rs 100 crore in its Series A funding round, led by IvyCap Ventures. The round also saw participation from First Bridge Fund. HyugaLife has previously raised funding from marquee investors such as Peak XV and Spring Marketing Capital.
The fresh capital will be used to strengthen AI-powered personalisation layers, a dark store network for quicker deliveries, and establish an offline retail presence, to build an all in service of HyugaLife’s core promise: genuine products, fairly priced, delivered fast.
HyugaLife lists 450+ credible brands and over 10,000 products across proteins, supplements, health foods, and wellness, serving athletes, fitness enthusiasts, working professionals, and families across India. International cricketer KL Rahul, himself a serious athlete who understands the stakes of product integrity, is among the platform’s key investors.
“India’s protein and supplements market has a trust problem, and HyugaLife was built to address it. We’re doubling down on our authenticity guarantee by expanding lab tested offering, while investing in AI driven smart, personalised technology that meets consumers at their specific life stage and fitness phase, and enabling faster access through dark stores and offline. IvyCap and First Bridge clearly understood both the vision and its importance, making this a natural partnership,” Sachin Parikh, Founder and CEO, HyugaLife.
“HyugaLife is addressing a critical trust gap in India’s proteins and supplements market through a strong authenticity-led approach. Their focus on verified sourcing, transparent information, and AI-driven personalization creates a compelling, differentiated platform. We believe they are well-positioned to scale as a trusted omnichannel health platform in India, and we are delighted to partner with them on this journey.” said Vikram Gupta, Founder and MD, IvyCap Ventures.
“HyugaLife has built something genuinely hard to replicate: consumer trust at scale, in a category where scepticism is the default. The authenticity infrastructure they have put in place is a real differentiator, and the consumer response speaks for itself. We are glad to back Sachin and the team as they move into this next phase.”— Vishal Kumar Gupta, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, First Bridge Fund.
