Portl bags $3 Mn from Bharat Innovation Fund

Digital fitness and wellness technology startup Portl has raised $3 million in a new round led by Bharat Innovation Fund. This round also saw participation from existing investor Kalaari Capital and new investor T-Hub Foundation. 

Earlier in June 2021, the startup had raised a seed round of funding from Kalaari Capital.

The startup, which pitched on Shark Tank India’s season II, will use the proceeds to ramp up its product development, market expansion, and enhancement of its AI systems.

Founded in March 2021 by Indraneel Gupta, Vishal Chandapeta and Armaan Kandhari, Portl’s flagship offering, the Portl Studio, along with its digital platform, integrates artificial intelligence to provide personalized fitness and wellness experiences directly in users’ homes, luxury hotels and gyms. 

Portal’s Smart Mirror has a 43-inch 4K screen, embedded bio-sensors, HD cameras, and edge-AI processing with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, offering real-time form feedback, health monitoring, and telemedicine integrations as well.
