In the healthcare sector, actor and entrepreneur Kunal Kapoor launched MetaGO—a doctor-led metabolic health platform. He believes that the growing problem of obesity and associated metabolic diseases in India requires continuous medical monitoring rather than short-term weight loss measures. MetaGO combines specialist consultations, diagnostics, clinically validated GLP-1 therapy, nutritional advice, and long-term clinical monitoring, meeting the rising demand for evidence-based obesity treatment.

The growth of the company's core business is attributed to a wider range of brands and recent marketing investments that have led to new customer acquisition.
