UpRound closed its latest early-stage deal: Gabit, India's leading smart ring and longevity platform.

Gabit tracks over 150 biomarkers across a smart ring, smart scale, continuous glucose monitor, blood work integration, and AI health coaching. All connected. One app. No subscription. The company launched its smart ring in January 2024 and became the market leader in India in under 18 months. It is now live in UAE, with the US, Europe, and SE Asia next.

The founder is Gaurav Gupta, co-founder of Zomato, who led its IPO and built it to a $24 billion company.

Consumer health is fragmenting. Fitness trackers track fitness. Sleep trackers track sleep. No one has built the integrated platform at this price point in emerging markets. Gabit is.

The smart ring is the entry point, not the business. Supplements launched in September 2025. CGM and blood work are live. An AI engine developed with a Harvard Medical School advisor is being built to predict hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease before symptoms appear. Revenue per user expands with every product layer added.

The global smart ring market goes from $1 billion today to $54 billion by 2030. Gabit is already the market leader in India. The playbook from here is the same one Gaurav ran at Zomato: win the home market, then take it global.

A second-time founder building a category leader in an emerging market at the earliest innings. This is exactly what UpRound was built to back.
