It is one of the few brands in India that have been registered and approved to sell internationally by the US FDA.

Vinay Bansal Founder & CEO, of Inflection Point Ventures, says, “Healthy choices are now a way of life, and it cuts across age segments. THC’s offerings have helped consumers to enjoy being on diet and achieve their weight loss and fitness goals. We understand this segment quite well and can provide insights to the team on scaling their business. The organic synergy between IPV and THC has led to closing this round with the company.”

The products are currently sold through the THC portal and other top marketplaces, including Amazon, Flipkart, and Nykaa. In addition to expanding its customer base via Tier 2 & 3 focused marketplaces, it plans to expand its offline presence via collaborations with gyms, wellness clinics, and health centers.

Founded in 2018 by Devansh Jain Nawal and Ackshay Jain, who themselves have been through the weight loss journey, THC’s every product comes with a plan that guides you through your nutritional requirements every day. The Company has helped customers across India lose over 1,20,000 kilos naturally with over 94% success rate in healthy reduction of Body Mass Index (BMI) and immensely improved the quality of life.

This has helped thousands of customers to lose weight naturally and have a taste of a fit lifestyle. Their products have seen significant adoption among all ages ranging from the 20s to the late 60s.

We’ve ensured these products are delicious, so eating right does not feel like a chore. They are designed to deliver happiness – in composition, in taste, and of course, through results.”
