From Tank to Triumph: WiseLife’s Bold New Chapter
WiseLife, a rising star in India’s health and wellness landscape, has secured ₹8 crore in Seed/Pre-Series A funding from Rukam Capital. The brand, which first caught national attention on Shark Tank India Season 3, is now gearing up to scale its operations, widen its product line, and become the country’s most loved yoga and fitness brand.
The fresh funds will be channelled into expanding distribution networks, developing innovative products, and deepening community engagement — all while staying true to WiseLife’s mission: to make wellness aspirational, accessible, and eco-conscious.
A Brand Rooted in Wellness and Design
Founded with the vision to blend mindful living with modern design, WiseLife offers a curated range of yoga mats, fitness accessories, and lifestyle gear. What sets the brand apart? Its premium yet affordable offerings that focus on sustainability without compromising style or performance.
From biodegradable yoga mats to thoughtfully designed home fitness gear, WiseLife has carved a niche among India’s fast-growing base of health-conscious consumers. Their products don’t just support physical wellbeing — they also reflect a conscious, planet-friendly lifestyle.
Backing from the Best: Rukam Capital’s Strategic Bet
Rukam Capital, a prominent early-stage VC firm focused on consumer brands, sees massive potential in WiseLife’s vision and timing. Commenting on the investment, Archana Jahagirdar, Founder & Managing Partner at Rukam Capital, said:
“India is at the cusp of a wellness revolution. WiseLife stands out by creating a brand that is not only functionally superior but also emotionally resonant with today’s health-conscious consumer.”
The timing couldn’t be better. According to IMARC Group, India’s yoga mat market is projected to grow from USD 1.4 billion in 2024 to USD 2.2 billion by 2033. Globally, the market is expected to touch USD 26.5 billion by 2030. WiseLife’s eco-friendly approach and deep consumer connect give it a strong edge in this booming space.
Shark Tank India: The Turning Point
WiseLife’s defining moment came on Shark Tank India Season 3, where it won the hearts — and cheques — of all four sharks:

-
Ritesh Aggarwal (OYO Rooms)
-
Namita Thapar (Emcure Pharmaceuticals)
The startup’s compelling pitch and design-first product strategy won unanimous support, providing the momentum to reach a broader national audience.
Scaling Ambitions: From Boutique to Blockbuster
Co-founder Prateek Kedia has bold plans for the road ahead. “The current funding round will help us scale WiseLife from a boutique brand to India’s No. 1 yoga brand. We will be able to do a lot more experimenting and develop even better products and content for yoga and fitness enthusiasts,” he shared.
The company aims to:
-
Expand distribution across online and offline channels
-
Launch new SKUs across yoga and wellness categories
-
Build a vibrant online wellness community with content and engagement
-
Invest in R&D for sustainable materials and innovative designs
The Road Ahead: Wellness with Purpose
As India leans into mindful living, corporate wellness programs, and home fitness trends, WiseLife is perfectly positioned to lead the wave. Its eco-friendly ethos, appealing product aesthetics, and strategic investor backing make it one of the most exciting brands in the wellness segment today.
With Rukam Capital joining the journey, WiseLife is no longer just a Shark Tank success story — it’s on a mission to redefine wellness, one yoga mat at a time.
