Mumbai's clinical makeover platform makeO has secured $16 million in a bridge round, led by 360 ONE Asset and Ashish Kacholia's investment office. The funding reaffirms investor confidence in makeO, the umbrella company overseeing clear aligner and dental care brand toothsi, along with skincare and hair care brand skinnsi.

Returning backers, such as Eight Roads Ventures, Paramark Ventures from South Korea, and the family office of Medlife founders Prashant Singh and Tushar Kumar, joined the latest funding round. The capital raised will play a crucial role in supporting the startup's expansion into new geographical regions and the scaling of its experience centers. Operating as a digital-first brand, makeO offers services both at home and through its physical centers.

Dr. Arpi Mehta, Co-Founder and CEO of makeO, underscored the company's mission in a statement, stating, "Our goal is to make clinical-grade makeovers more accessible, affordable, and convenient for every Indian. The funding will empower us to strengthen our online and offline presence, providing customers with the flexibility to access our services either at their doorstep or through our physical experience centers."

makeO's offline experience centers serve as spaces for customers to explore the brand's solutions, consult with in-house orthodontists and dermatologists, and receive comprehensive clinical support throughout their makeover journey. Established in 2018 by Dr. Arpi Mehta, Dr. Pravin Shetty, Dr. Manjul Jain and Dr. Anirudha Kale, makeO entered the Indian market with its 3D-printed clear aligner toothsi. Currently employing over 600 dental professionals, including 100-plus orthodontists and in-house dentists, makeO extends its services beyond dental care to encompass skincare and haircare solutions, offering products such as microneedling treatments for hair fall, electric toothbrushes, teeth whitening UV kits, acne treatment kits, face washes, skin toners, moisturizers, and exfoliating peels.
