When it comes to gender demographics, women users grew to 44% of Ultrahuman’s base in 2024, up from 29% the previous year.

Wearable tech startup Ultrahuman scaled three-fold year-on-year to over Rs 100 crore during the fiscal year ended in March 2024.

Ultrahuman is a self-quantification platform that provides a smart ring called Ring Air, a glucose monitoring wearable M1 Live, and a blood testing product called Blood Vision, among others. Ultrahuman recently launched its luxury Rare smart ring collection at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, featuring 18-karat gold and platinum models priced up to $2,200. It is considered one of the most expensive smart rings in the world. Income from the sale of smart rings accounted for 75% of the total revenue which stood at Rs 80 crore in FY24. The rest of the collections come from subscription income and other allied services for the Bengaluru-based company. The company also has two subsidiaries in UAE and London till FY24. Moving to its cost front, its cost of procurement of rings and related materials was the largest cost center for Ultrahuman accounting for 26% of the overall expenditure which increased 85% to Rs 38 crore in FY23. The company managed to keep the employee benefits flat and reduced its advertising cost by 38% during FY24. Its technology, freight, legal, software, server, and other overheads took the overall expenditure up by 44.6% to Rs 146 crore in FY24 from Rs 101 crore in FY23.

Its co-founders Mohit Kumar and Vatsal Singhal cumulatively owned 28.9% of the company. While the growth metrics seem inspired by its name, Ultrahuman still faces a formidable challenge of turning the corner in terms of profits. Smart ring, glucose monitoring are all fiercely competitive categories where the best narrative will win finally. With the utter dependence on outsourcing manufacturing, the business will always face external risks that are difficult to predict.
