Sohrab Khushrushahi, Co Founder of The Func. Lab, said the investment will support product innovation, wider distribution and expansion across digital, quick commerce and retail channels.
The Func. Lab, a nutrition company focused on hydration, protein and functional wellness, has raised $1.5 million in a seed funding round led by a group of strategic investors.
The round includes participation from Nisaba Godrej, Executive Chairperson of Godrej Consumer Products, Anand Piramal, Executive Director of Piramal Group, former Indian international cricketer and coach Abhishek Nayar, Bhakti Modi, Co Founder of Tira, Harsh Parekh, Co Founder of PharmEasy, Sahil Vora, Founder of Sila Group, along with other investors.
The company said the capital will be used to accelerate product innovation, expand distribution, strengthen supply chain capabilities and support growth across digital, quick commerce and retail channels.
Founded in 2025 by celebrity fitness trainer and SOHFIT founder Sohrab Khushrushahi, entrepreneur Sahil Kukreja and SOHFIT Co Founder Daneesh Davar, The Func. Lab develops nutrition products with an emphasis on transparent labels and ingredient disclosure.
Its current product portfolio includes Salty Electrolytes, Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate and Plant Protein. The company said its products are formulated without gums, emulsifiers, anti caking agents, artificial sweeteners or proprietary blends and are independently tested to verify quality and label accuracy.
Sohrab Khushrushahi, Co Founder of The Func. Lab, said, “We’ve always believed that nutrition products should be judged by what’s inside the pack, not by marketing claims. This capital allows us to invest further in product development, expand access across India, and continue building a brand rooted in trust, transparency, and effectiveness.”
Since its launch in July 2025, The Func. Lab has expanded across direct to consumer, e commerce, quick commerce and offline retail channels.
As part of its next phase of growth, the company plans to expand its presence in the hydration category and aims to increase the availability of its products across thousands of pin codes while introducing new hydration and functional recovery products.
Commenting on her investment, Nisaba Godrej said, “I’m an avid and daily user of both their whey protein and electrolytes. I absolutely love the products and branding. The team building The Func. Lab is authentic, highly driven, and relentlessly focused on creating products consumers genuinely benefit from.”
Anand Piramal said, “Protein, hydration, and preventive wellness are categories that have massive tailwinds in India. The Func. Lab’s commitment to taste, quality and ingredient transparency positions it well to serve a new generation of health conscious consumers.”
