About

Building Noa, a root-cause, inside-out weight management platform for Tier-2 women. India is heading toward a metabolic crisis, 1 in 3 adults projected to be obese. The burden is disproportionately higher on women in their 30s and 40s. While Tier-1 cities have access, awareness, and safer options, Tier-2 India is left navigating misinformation, shortcuts, and unsafe solutions. This started personally. Despite a background in powerlifting, I struggled until correcting B12 and Vitamin D deficiencies and rebuilding gut health helped me sustainably lose 12+ kgs. Having spent nearly 7 years building in Tier-2 and beyond India, had seen how aspiration outpaces infrastructure and how health decisions are shaped by access gaps. The insight was clear, weight gain is rarely a discipline problem, it is a systems problem, especially in India 2. At Noa, we combine research-backed formulations with behavior-led compliance architecture to help women reclaim metabolic health safely and sustainably. If you believe India deserves better health infrastructure beyond metros, let’s connect.
