Bengaluru : A Bengaluru-based startup, Yuvrit Ayurveda, today announced that it has raised $800K in a Seed round led by Incubate Fund Asia. The company is building a modern chain of Ayurvedic clinics designed to make authentic, doctor-led, Kerala-style healing accessible, standardised, and deeply outcome-driven for urban India. The fresh capital will be used to expand Yuvrit’s premium clinic network across Bengaluru, starting with new centres in HSR layout, while strengthening medical training, standardisation protocols, hiring senior Ayurveda doctors, and driving public awareness around preventive health and evidence-based Ayurvedic wisdom.
India today faces one of the largest chronic disease burdens globally, with over 400 million people living with lifestyle disorders, including gut issues, joint pain, metabolic diseases, hormonal imbalance, skin conditions, and stress-related ailments. While modern medicine often addresses symptoms, patients increasingly seek credible, root-cause healing alternatives. Yet authentic Ayurveda remains fragmented and inconsistent due to practitioner-dependent standards, leaving patients unsure whom to trust. Yuvrit Ayurveda solves this gap by creating a scalable, trustworthy outpatient care system rooted in classical science and enhanced with modern diagnostic, digital tracking, seamless patient experience, and protocol-led treatments designed by senior Ayurvedic experts.
Founded by IIT Kharagpur alumni Puroo Soni and Rahul Jhawar, long-time friends with backgrounds in investment banking and venture capital, alongside renowned Ayurvedacharya Dr G.G. Gangadharan as Chief Medical Advisor, Yuvrit blends deep clinical insight with disciplined execution to bring structure, scientific rigor, and standardisation to Ayurveda. The founders were inspired by personal experiences of losing loved ones to lifestyle ailments and witnessing firsthand the power of structured Ayurvedic care during their months spent shadowing Dr Gangadharan across clinics. What they observed, long-standing chronic conditions being reversed through an evidence-based, protocol-driven Ayurvedic approach, laid the foundation for Yuvrit’s vision of a modern, trustworthy Ayurvedic healthcare system.
Yuvrit has already demonstrated strong early traction, with high repeat rates, exceptional patient reviews averaging close to 5.0 on Google, and robust clinic-level unit economics. The team currently includes 14 members across clinical and central functions, including senior doctors, Panchkarma therapists, care coordinators, clinic managers, and marketing & operations teams, and is expected to scale to 30+ as new clinics go live in early 2026.
Commenting on the fundraise, Co-founders Rahul Jhawar & Puroo Soni said, “Patients don’t need more quick fixes; they need root-cause healing guided by experts. Ayurveda has the depth to solve India’s chronic disease burden, but it needs structure, trust, and scientific rigor. Our goal is to bring Kerala’s most trusted clinical practices to every urban neighborhood with Yuvrit, a modern Ayurvedic care system that is authentic, standardized, and truly outcome-driven.”
On the investment, Rajeev Ranka, Partner at Incubate Fund Asia, said, “Yuvrit is building scalable, doctor-led clinics focused on addressing India’s chronic lifestyle diseases. Yuvrit uses evidence-based Ayurveda, with an early focus on Gut Health, to provide care. They combine classical Ayurvedic principles with modern diagnostics, digital tracking, and standardized treatment protocols.”
“For decades, I have seen Ayurveda heal and transform chronic conditions through correctly applied Ayurvedic principles. What India needs today is not more fragmented care, but a dependable system built on scientific rigor, evidence-based practice, and well-trained clinicians. Yuvrit is addressing this gap with structure, consistency, and genuine clinical integrity. I’m glad to be part of this movement,” said Dr. GG Gangadharan, Founding Doctor & Chief Medical Advisor at Yuvrit Ayurveda.
With this funding, Yuvrit Ayurveda is positioned to become one of India’s first scalable, standardised, evidence-based Ayurvedic outpatient care platforms, bringing classical Kerala-style healing to the forefront of urban preventive and chronic care.
