Skincare brand Be Clinical raises seed round led by V3 Ventures Skincare brand Be Clinical has raised Rs 6 crore in a seed funding round led by V3 Ventures, with participation from Titan Capital, founded by Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, who have doubled down on their commitment to the brand. The Mumbai-based brand had previously mopped up Rs 2 crore in the same funding round led by Titan Capital, along with participation from P-TAL founder Aditya Agarwal. The proceeds will be used for research and development to strengthen in-house formulation capabilities, conduct clinical testing, and develop targeted solutions for ageing concerns across the face, body, and scalp, Be Clinical said in a press release. Launched in May last year by Hemangi Dhir, Be Clinical is an evidence-led skincare brand offering clinically tried solutions for ageing skin, developed specifically for Indian skin and conditions. Backed by in-house research and dermatologically active ingredients, the brand addresses ageing concerns with a strong focus on transparency, education, and measurable results. Be Clinical aims to address a gap in the Indian skincare market such as the lack of science-led, transparent, and clinically validated solutions designed specifically for Indian skin and environmental conditions. The brand says that it differentiates itself through in-vivo tested, clinically validated formulations, supported by end-to-end in-house research and manufacturing and responsible formulation. Since its inception, Be Clinical claims that it has demonstrated strong early traction in a short period and served over 25,000 customers, reflecting rapid adoption and growing consumer trust in its clinically driven, India-specific skincare solutions. The company plans to expand its manufacturing facility by adding advanced machinery to improve production capacity, consistency, and quality control. The brand aspires to upgrade packaging with functional, protective, and premium formats that preserve ingredient efficacy while reinforcing the brand’s clinical-grade positioning. It competes with other notable players such as Olay, Neutrogena, Clinique, and Dr. Sheth in the anti-ageing category.

Precision oncology startup 4baseCare has raised Rs 90 crore ($9.8 million) in the first close of its Series B round co-led by Ashish Kacholia and Lashit Sanghvi, with participation from existing investor Yali Capital. The new round comes after a gap of two years. In 2024, the company had raised $6 million in Series A funding, led by Yali Capital, with participation from Infosys. The fresh capital will be used to expand 4baseCare’s hospital-linked genomics lab network across India, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Central Asia. It will also scale its AI-powered precision oncology platform, OncoTwin, which supports clinical decision-making for cancer treatment. Founded by Hitesh Goswami, 4baseCare focuses on building population-relevant clinico-genomic datasets to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment outcomes in underrepresented populations. Its platform integrates genomic testing with real-world clinical and outcomes data to generate actionable insights for oncologists. The OncoTwin platform was recently selected for the MSK iHub program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York. The company works closely with hospitals to offer genomics-led cancer diagnostics within clinical settings and is positioning itself to scale across emerging markets. Investor interest in cancer-focused startups has picked up in recent years. Last year, Everhope Oncology raised $10 million in seed funding, and MOC Cancer Care & Research Centre secured $18 million led by Elevation Capital. ErlySign, OnCare, and OneCell Diagnostics are also among the funded startups.
