The 16 community and lifestyle startups listed here span rounds from August 2021 through January 2025, all headquartered in Bengaluru. Seed is the dominant stage — Raaz ($1M, January 2025), Medial ($500K, December 2024), Dr. Paws ($930K, August 2024), Campalin Innovations ($2M, July 2023), GoSats ($4M, June 2022), and Elda Health ($2M, August 2021) all closed at that level. The segment also shows clear traction in care and wellness: Kites Senior Care ($5M, March 2024), Proactive For Her ($6M Series A, February 2022), and Elda Health target distinct but adjacent demographics, while Enfold Proactive Health Trust raised $40K on an undisclosed series in December 2023. Pet care appears twice, with Dr. Paws and Pawfectly Made (a $1M corporate round, April 2022) both operating from the city.
The two largest raises come from Kinara Capital's $50M Series E in April 2022 and Lokal's $15M Series B in April 2023 — both late-stage outliers relative to the mostly early-stage activity that characterizes the rest of the list.

They span senior care, women's health, and proactive wellness — each at a different funding stage and scale.
Are there any pet-care startups represented here?
Two companies target pet care: Dr. Paws raised a $930K Seed round in August 2024, and Pawfectly Made closed a $1M corporate round in April 2022. Both are Bengaluru-based and sit at opposite ends of the institutional-versus-strategic funding spectrum.
Which rounds have undisclosed amounts?
Doodley (Pre-Seed, January 2025) and Maidaan (Pre-Seed, January 2024) did not disclose funding amounts. Both are at the earliest stage, which is consistent with the pattern of undisclosed raises being concentrated in Pre-Seed rounds across this dataset.
