GABIT acquires swedish nutrition brand Näck Longevity-focused health startup GABIT has acquired clean nutrition brand Näck, for an undisclosed amount for expanding its play beyond health tracking into supplements and nutrition-led outcomes. The acquisition brings Näck’s supplement portfolio into GABIT’s ecosystem, which already includes a smart ring, AI-led health coaching, diagnostics, and longevity-focused skincare. Post-acquisition, Näck’s supplements will be embedded into GABIT’s platform, allowing users to track how supplement intake impacts measurable outcomes such as sleep quality, recovery, and metabolic health. Founded in 2022 by Gaurav Gupta and Arpana Shahi, GABIT operates a full-stack health platform centred on four areas: fitness, sleep, stress, and nutrition. Its titanium smart ring tracks health metrics continuously, while its software layer converts this data into personalised recommendations around activity, recovery, and diet. The company also integrates blood tests, smart scales, and CGM data, allowing users to monitor over 150 health markers in one place. Näck, founded in Sweden, focuses on clean, science-backed supplements designed around recommended dietary allowances. Its products are tested against banned substances and are positioned for both athletes and everyday users. The combined offering allows users to identify gaps through tracking and diagnostics, take targeted supplements, and observe results directly through ongoing data.

Deepinder Goyal commits $25 Mn to longevity venture Continue Research The project aims to explore ways to extend human life and improve overall health through research on ageing, nutrition, sleep, and mental wellness. Eternal founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal has committed $25 million from his personal wealth to expand his longevity venture, Continue Research. The project aims to explore ways to extend human life and improve overall health through research on ageing, nutrition, sleep, and mental wellness. Continue Research, which began around two years ago, is not a conventional startup but a research-focused initiative and early-stage funding platform. According to Goyal, the fund will back scientists and entrepreneurs working on fundamental biological questions and health tracking technologies. In a post on X, Goyal said the initiative is fully self-funded and intended to support researchers across the world. He described it as a long-term mission to understand human biology better and promote what he calls the “conscious evolution” of humanity. Goyal added that the goal is to significantly improve human longevity and quality of life through sustained scientific exploration. Continue Research will provide seed funding to early-stage teams working in the areas of ageing, health optimisation, and preventive wellness. The initiative plans to invest in projects that aim to slow or reverse aspects of biological ageing and help people live healthier for longer. While Goyal continues to lead Zomato, Continue Research operates independently and is not linked to the company’s parent entity, Eternal. The move marks Goyal’s foray into the longevity and life sciences space, reflecting his growing interest in deep science and the long-term future of human health.

With this deal, Marico expands its D2C presence by adding another brand. The acquisition brings a protein-focused brand into Marico’s D2C portfolio. Founded in 2019, Cosmix operates as a digital-first nutrition brand with a focus on plant-based protein and wellness products.

Apart from Beardo, Marico’s D2C portfolio includes brands such as Plix, True Elements, and Just Herbs. The development follows a similar move in the FMCG sector, where Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) acquired homegrown skincare brand Minimalist last year at a pre-money valuation of Rs 2,955 crore.
