Exclusive: Pain Care Startup Zanskar In Talks To Raise $6 Mn In Round Led By Bessemer
Delhi NCR-based pain care startup Zanskar is in talks to raise about $6 Mn in a fresh funding round led…
Pain care startup Zanskar is reportedly in discussions to secure approximately $6 million in a new funding round led by venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners. The terms of the deal, including the exact amount of capital to be raised, are still being finalized, according to sources. Bessemer Venture Partners and Zanskar have not yet provided official responses to inquiries made by Inc42.
This funding development follows Zanskar's seed round from 10 months ago, which was led by Zeropearl VC and included participation from angel investors such as Pawan Gupta, Amit Baid, and Nidhish Mundra of Oaktree Capital. Zanskar, established in 2022 by IIT Delhi alumni Anshul Mittal and Manu Kumar Mittal, provides a technology-driven approach to pain management.
Their platform offers personalized at-home care protocols via an app, as well as pain relief products like oils, roll-ons, and nutritional supplements available on various e-commerce platforms. The startup is also exploring partnerships for physiotherapy-led wellness centers in major Indian cities, expanding its overall pain management ecosystem.
The funding comes as investors show increasing interest in startups addressing chronic pain management. Earlier this year, Nivaan Care secured $7 million in a Series A round led by Sorin Investments, with W Health Ventures and others joining in. FlexifyMe raised ₹20 crore in a pre-Series A funding round last year to broaden its online physiotherapy platform targeting chronic pain.
A recent report indicates that nearly 47% of Indians aged 45 and above suffer from joint pain, while 31% experience persistent back pain. Untreated chronic pain and over-reliance on painkillers can result in disability and severe health complications. According to Inc42's 'Annual Indian Startup Trends Report 2025', the healthtech market is projected to grow at a 39% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2025, reaching over $37 billion by 2030.
However, the number of funding deals has decreased in 2025, with 54 deals recorded compared to 78 the previous year.
