This investment highlights growing interest in chronic pain management startups despite muted overall healthtech funding activity

Zanskar is currently in talks to raise a new funding round of approximately $6 million.
The fresh capital raise is being led by Bessemer Venture Partners as the primary investor.
Discussions are ongoing with the final cheque size remaining subject to change before the deal closes.
Both Zanskar and Bessemer did not respond to Inc42 queries at the time of publication.
This follows a previous seed round of ₹2.8 crore raised roughly ten months prior to this event.
Investor interest in chronic pain management startups is reportedly growing significantly in the current market.
The broader healthtech market is projected to cross $37 billion by 2030 with a high growth rate.
Overall funding activity in the sector has seen a decline with deals falling to 54 in 2025.

Untreated chronic pain or prolonged reliance on painkillers can lead to serious disability and complications.
A significant portion of the Indian population suffers from joint and back pain issues.
Competitors like Nivaan Care and FlexifyMe have recently secured substantial funding for similar models.

Zanskar operates as a tech-led pain management platform accessible primarily through its mobile application.
The company offers personalised at-home care protocols designed to manage pain without hospital visits.
It sells physical pain relief products including oils, roll-ons, and nutritional supplements directly to consumers.
Sales channels include its own website and major e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart.
Products are also available on quick commerce apps like Blinkit and health platforms like Tata 1mg.
The founders are exploring pilots for physiotherapy-led wellness centres in select metro cities.
The business model combines digital care protocols with physical product sales for revenue generation.
Co-founders Anshul Mittal and Manu Kumar Mittal established the company in 2022 after graduating from IIT Delhi.
