Must Read

USV has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 79% equity stake in Nutritionalab Private Limited (“Wellbeing Nutrition”), marking a strategic expansion into India’s fast-growing nutraceutical and consumer wellness space. With a six-decade legacy and leadership in the Oral Anti-Diabetic and Cardiovascular segments, USV has long been the trusted house of iconic pharma brands such as Glycomet GP, Ecosprin, Roseday, and the exclusive partner for the globally acclaimed Sebamed range in India. Building on the strong goodwill and credibility earned through these market-leading therapies, USV now brings Wellbeing Nutrition into its portfolio—extending its commitment from prescription-led care to preventive and lifestyle-focused wellness. The addition of Wellbeing Nutrition reinforces USV’s evolution into a comprehensive healthcare powerhouse spanning both therapeutic excellence and consumer wellbeing.

This strategic expansion into consumer wellness is aligned with USV’s continued commitment to innovation across the healthcare continuum. As a long-standing leader in diabetes and cardiac care, USV is also advancing its next phase of growth with plans to enter the innovative GLP-1 therapy segment upon loss of exclusivity, under its upcoming brand ‘usema’. Together with the addition of Wellbeing Nutrition, this reinforces USV’s vision of offering comprehensive solutions spanning advanced therapeutic interventions to preventive and lifestyle-focused wellness, strengthening its leadership across the full spectrum of metabolic health.

Wellbeing Nutrition’s offerings are formulated using high-quality, globally sourced natural ingredients, backed by clinically validated science and clean-label formulations. Its focus on innovative and precision-driven delivery formats, premium packaging, and first-to-market launches has contributed meaningfully to carving a niche amongst the consumers. Wellbeing Nutrition has built a strong reputation as a brand of choice among Indian consumers, supported by a robust omni-channel presence, strong traction on its proprietary digital platform, and a diversified portfolio of premium nutraceutical products. The company has witnessed 120% growth in the last 2 years and is poised to cross Rs. 450 crores in revenue by FY27.

Prashant Tewari, Managing Director, USV, said, “This acquisition dovetails strongly with our strategy to build a future-facing healthcare portfolio that responds to the changing aspirations of Indian consumers. Their success across channels, particularly through their own platform, and their premium, clinically backed portfolio positions us well to accelerate growth while maintaining high standards of quality, compliance, and ethics that USV has been known for. We look forward to unlocking the next phase of growth by leveraging USV’s global capabilities while preserving Wellbeing Nutrition’s core mission of transparent, sustainable, and high-quality nutrition.”

Avnish Chhabria, Founder & CEO, Wellbeing Nutrition, added, “This partnership with USV is a natural alignment of values, philosophy, and long-term intent. Wellbeing Nutrition was built on the belief that preventive health must be grounded in pharmaceutical-grade science, uncompromising quality, and deep consumer trust — principles that USV has stood for over decades. In USV, we have found a new home that understands the importance of scientific rigor, patient capital, and building enduring institutions. Together, we are committed to shaping a new benchmark for health and wellness, while preserving the integrity, culture, and purpose with which Wellbeing Nutrition was founded.”
