Zeus Hygia, a nutraceutical startup based in Hyderabad, has secured $2.5 million in its Series A funding. NABVENTURES, the VC arm of NABARD, was the lead investor.
This funding will enable Zeus Hygia to expand its international business, enhance research capabilities, and create additional validated health-oriented products. The company is invested in developing solutions for frequent health problems, including pain relief, weight management, women’s health, and healthy aging.
What is the role of Zeus Hygia?
Zeus Hygia has been in business since 2018 and has plant-based, scientifically proven herbal ingredients. Zeus Hygia sells its ingredients to other companies in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and over-the-counter (OTC) industries. Zeus Hygia is not a direct-to-consumer business model but rather operates as a B2B business. Zeus Hygia sells products to wellness brands.
Right now, the company exports its products to more than 15 countries, and it hopes that by the end of next three years 70% of its revenue will come from the international markets.
Zeus Hygia’s branded ingredient portfolio includes eight ingredients. Some of them are:
- BioSOLVE Curcumin
- Grantria
- Stadice
All of these ingredients, along with more in development, speaks to a commitment to the research and innovation process.
Research is a significant part of the organization as Zeus Hygia has a substantial research history, with many and nine patents to its name, and over 20 scientific publications. Zeus Hygia uses five unique technologies to assure its herbal ingredients are safe, natural and effective.
The startup is dedicated to making plant-based alternatives supported by science and global quality standards, and with this new funding, the company will further its innovations.
Growing Global Presence
Zeus Hygia is also expanding its global footprint. It has recently established a new unit in the United States. It is collaborating with partners in Southeast Asia and the MENA (Middle East/North Africa) region. Collectively, these initiatives support the company’s ambition of becoming an internationally recognized leader in natural health ingredients.
The Future
Zeus Hygia is now well-positioned to continue its growth journey with support by NABVENTURES. Funding from NABVENTURE will not only help for expansion but also allow the company to enlarge its investment in research and develop more herbal solutions for efficiency in overall health and well-being.
Conclusion
The recent $2.5 million funding from NABVENTURES means Zeus Hygia will be able to accelerate global expansion, enhance research, and leverage science-backed plant-based health solutions, while remaining a leading, sustainable B2B nutraceutical ingredient supplier.
