Zanskar, a pain-care and wellness brand, has raised INR 2.8 crore in seed funding led by Zeropearl VC.
The round also included angel investors like Pawan Gupta (Founder, Fashinza), Amit Baid (Managing Partner, 10X Growth Ventures), and Nidhish Mundra (SVP, Oaktree Capital).
Zanskar will use the funding to launch more products, strengthen digital marketing, and expand sales through D2C and offline retail. Some of the money will also be used to set up an R&D unit focused on chronic pain and recovery.
Anshul Mittal & Manu Mittal, Co-founders of Zanskar, jointly said in a statement, “This round is a huge validation of our belief that pain relief doesn’t need to come with a trade-off. We’re excited to partner with Zeropearl to take Zanskar to more homes across India and continue building products that actually work and that people love using.”
Bipin Shah, Managing Partner, Zeropearl VC, said in a statement, “At Zeropearl, we look for brands that are solving real & deep problems with authenticity & innovation. Zanskar’s approach to pain care by combining science with empathy really stood out of the box for us. We believe the team is well-positioned to build a trusted and scalable brand in a category that impacts millions of people in India and overseas.”
Zanskar, founded by IIT Delhi classmates Anshul Mittal and Manu Mittal, makes wellness products such as a Vitamin B6 cream for joint pain and a magnesium roll-on for migraine relief.
More than 50,000 people in India have already used Zanskar’s products. The company is now working on new treatments for arthritis and muscle recovery, improving its AI-based physiotherapy app, and planning to open wellness centers in big cities.
