Why We Doubled Down On Our Partnership With Nuguru: Backing a Global Initiative in Revolutionizing Healthy Eating

At DSG Consumer Partners, we have been tracking the evolution of health and wellness since we started in 2012. Our conviction in the category led us to invest in Nuguru in early 2020 when Vikram Rupani (co-founder of Redmart, a DSGCP portfolio company acquired by Lazada) started working on the idea for a new chapter in his entrepreneurial journey.
