The 2020-founded company believes medication is not a long-term solution for diabetes, and presses for focusing on behavioural and lifestyle changes for diabetes reversal and reducing the risk of chronic lifestyle diseases, and added that its programme is clinically proven. Its co-founder and chief executive Rohan Verma said it aims to reverse diabetes for 1 million Indians by 2025, and added that over half of the customers come via word of mouth.

“We have been impressed by how quickly Breathe Well-being is becoming a household name for Type 2 diabetes & pre-diabetes reversal across Tier 2 and 3 cities of India,” Accel’s vice president Radhika Ananth said.
