kindlife.in Secures $8 Million in Series A Funding! Exciting developments in the beauty and wellness sector! Kindlife.in, the innovative platform co-founded by ShopClues’ Radhika Ghai, has just raised $8 million in its Series A funding round. The round was led by JB-Dooeun TK Fund and MIXI Global Investments, with notable contributions from Kalaari Capital and several angel investors. This significant investment comes after a successful $2.5 million seed round in late 2021. The new capital will enable Kindlife to strengthen its connections between Korea, Japan, and India, enhancing its community-driven approach to beauty and wellness. Leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, Kindlife offers Gen Z consumers personalized skincare and wellness solutions, while also providing exclusive access to trending global beauty brands. With plans to introduce over 20 new Korean and Japanese beauty brands this year, Kindlife is set to capitalize on the growing K-beauty trend fueled by the Hallyu wave.

2024 was the year we took Moodi from two Co-Founders pet-sitting to make ends meet to becoming one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing direct-to-consumer brands ✨ I started Moodi with one dream: to help women feel their absolute best. Today, with over 1 in 40 women in New Zealand using our blends, I feel closer than ever to making that dream a reality. 2024 by the numbers: - 400% growth (on top of almost 2,000% last year) - 6 new products launched - Sold millions of servings of our blends - 2 pop-up stores hosted - $15k wellness retreat gifted to one lucky customer - Hundreds of people queuing for our IRL activations - Team grew to 10+ - Laid the groundwork for our BIGGEST move ever (coming January!!) It’s been the most challenging, thrilling, and fulfilling year of my life. To everyone who’s been part of this journey — whether you bought a blend, told a friend about Moodi, engaged with us on socials, or cheered us on from afar — thank you!!! Your support means everything. 2025 is going to be INSANE ✨ A picture at our Moodi Xmas Dinner with some of the people who have worked SUPER hard this year to make Moodi what it is today (missing a few important people…including Nick 😂) #startup #ecommerce #CPG #entrepreneuer

I’m building something new, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you! Meet AIDN: an AI-powered health assistant that connects with your favorite fitness wearables to help you live a healthier life and truly “make science more human.” Why AIDN? This idea comes straight from my own journey. Over the past few years, I: - Built my last company to a 30-member team and learned so much about Go-To-Market strategies by working with 100+ amazing companies. - Went through a physical transformation—losing over 60 pounds—which became a gateway to everything AIDN stands for. -Took that transformation even further, running a sub-3-hour marathon—something I never thought was possible for me. Through these experiences, I realized how much better life can be when you feel good in your body. But I also saw how complicated health tools and wearables can be for most people. So, we set out to build something different—something that meets you where you are, no matter your starting point. Our Mission AIDN is for everyone. Whether you’re chasing a marathon PR or just beginning your health journey, our goal is the same: to help you live a healthier, more balanced life. Our team is made up of medical professionals, research enthusiasts, tech leaders who love fitness, and even elite athletes. Together, we’re creating a tool that empowers you to reach your full potential. We Need Your Input We’re launching in Q1 2025, but we’re inviting 250 early users from our growing waitlist to join our private beta. This is your chance to help shape AIDN, from design to feature prioritization. If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to join us. Sign up for the waitlist here: https://www.askaidn.com/ Thank you for being part of this journey—it means everything to me! There is a lot in store ahead for 2025! In 2025, I want everyone to be the healthiest versions of themselves so please comment or share if you believe this can help someone in your circle!
