Healthtech startup HealthKart has secured $153 Mn (INR 1,291 Cr) in a funding round co-led by ChrysCapital and Motilal Oswal Alternates, with participation from Neo Group and existing investor A91 Partners. The funding will bolster HealthKart’s “power” brands and expand its global footprint. The startup also announced an INR 55 Cr ESOP buyback program for current and former employees.

ChrysCapital’s vice president, Arpit Vinayak, highlighted India’s underpenetrated sports nutrition market and HealthKart’s strong growth potential, citing its robust management, brand portfolio, and marketing capabilities.

The startup saw its FY23 revenue grow 70% to INR 832.4 Cr while reducing its net loss by 50% to INR 164.7 Cr. HealthKart claims to have achieved EBITDA profitability in FY24, with revenues surpassing INR 1,000 Cr. This round adds to the $135 Mn it raised from Temasek in 2022, bringing its total funding to around $353 Mn.
