Lifechart’s Guttify secures $360K from Unichem Labs’ Family Office Lifechart, a health-tech startup focused on gut wellness, has raised $360,000 in an extended seed round for its gut health brand Guttify, led by Prajay Advisors, the family office of the founders of Unichem Labs, Prakash Mody and Jayendra Shah. This $360K raise follows a $500K seed round in October 2024, backed by Expert Dojo, Agility Ventures, Sunn91 Ventures, government seed schemes, and angels like Nitish Mittersain and Ahana Gautam—bringing Lifechart’s total funding to over $1 million. Co-founded in 2022 by Mukul Shah and Mansi Sharma, Guttify is a gut health brand designed for India’s urban population (tier I and III cities), and it adopts a diagnosis-first approach. It offers DIY at-home gut testing kits and clinically validated solutions that combine modern science with herbal methods. Its first product, a pH saliva testing kit for acidity, is already live, with more kits priced as low as Rs 99 set to launch in the coming months. Guttify aims to empower every Indian with accessible, accurate, and personalized gut health solutions—grounded in science, enabled by technology, and inspired by Ayurveda. Lifechart and Guttify aspire to build a full-stack science-backed gut wellness ecosystem to address the urgent and widespread gut health crisis in India. According to market research, the Indian gut wellness market is projected at $18 billion and over 60% of the Indian population suffers from digestive issues.
