What they do

Dazzl provides on-demand at-home beauty and wellness services with a promise of 10-minute arrival times

The company raised $3.2 million in its first institutional funding led by Stellaris Venture Partners

This capital will help Dazzl expand its hyperlocal operations across Bengaluru clusters over the next year

Dazzl secured $3.2 million in a seed funding round announced on January 13, 2026.
Stellaris Venture Partners led the investment in this first institutional raise for the startup.
Angel investors included Ritesh Agarwal, Maninder Gulati, Abhinav Sinha, Sameer Brij Verma, and Abhishek Bansal.
The funds aim to validate the business model in Bengaluru micro-markets before national expansion.
Dazzl focuses on high-frequency beauty services like blow-dries, facials, and waxing delivered to homes.
The platform differentiates itself by offering immediate service availability rather than traditional appointment scheduling.
Founders Komal Solanki and Ashish Bajpai launched the company in October 2025 in Bengaluru.
The startup currently operates only in the Bellandur micro-market of Bengaluru.

The beauty and wellness market in India is valued between $6 billion and $7 billion.
This sector is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9-10%.
Dazzl applies quick-commerce immediacy to personal care, a niche not fully served by competitors.
Competitors like Urban Company do not offer a 10-minute service promise for their salon services.

Dazzl offers on-demand beauty and wellness services directly at customers' homes.
Services include blow-dries, head massages, pedicures, waxing, threading, facials, manicures, and cleanups.
The company promises a 10-minute arrival time after a customer books a service.
It uses a vertically integrated model to control supply, training, and daily operations.
Trained professionals are clustered hyperlocally near demand centers for rapid deployment.
The target audience includes working professionals and young parents with unpredictable schedules.
The current operational footprint is limited to the Bellandur area in Bengaluru.
The business model relies on repeat usage and high-frequency everyday use cases.

Dazzl plans to scale across Bengaluru clusters over the next 12 months.
The company aims to build repeatable hyperlocal operations and go-to-market playbooks.
Management intends to prove repeat usage before considering national expansion.
Investments will focus on core technology, training systems, and supply chain infrastructure.
