India has already proven its dominance in SaaS and IT services.
But building a global hardware‑led health‑tech company? That’s far more rare — and incredibly difficult.
Yet Ultrahuman, a Bengaluru‑based metabolic health company, has done exactly that.
With its smart ring, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and performance‑driven ecosystem, Ultrahuman is now challenging global giants like Oura, Fitbit, and Apple — not by copying them, but by out‑innovating them.
This is the Ultrahuman Playbook, and the story of the Indian founders behind it.
TL;DR
- Ultrahuman was founded by Mohit Kumar and Vatsal Singhal
- They previously co‑founded Runnr, acquired by Zomato
- Ultrahuman makes the Ultrahuman Ring + Ultrahuman M1 CGM
- They scaled globally by focusing on metabolic health, science, and bio‑hacker communities
- It is now India’s most globally recognized health‑tech wearable brand
The Founders: Mohit Kumar & Vatsal Singhal
Ultrahuman was founded by Mohit Kumar and Vatsal Singhal, two entrepreneurs deeply passionate about high‑performance health, wearable technology, and human optimization.
Both founders were previously part of the leadership team at Runnr, a hyperlocal logistics startup that was later acquired by Zomato.
After exiting Runnr, their personal journeys led them into fitness, glucose tracking, and metabolic science. They noticed two things:
- Everyone thinks they’re healthy, but metabolic dysfunction is widespread.
- Wearables were tracking data — but not translating it into meaningful insights.
This sparked the idea for Ultrahuman.
Mohit Kumar – Co-founder & CEO
Mohit is an endurance athlete fascinated by performance science. His personal experiments with metabolic tracking, fasting, and recovery led directly to Ultrahuman’s product direction.
He drives strategy, product, and long‑term vision.
Vatsal Singhal – Co-founder
Vatsal brings deep experience in scaling technology platforms. He focuses on system architecture, product reliability, and building Ultrahuman’s hardware‑software ecosystem.
His engineering strength helped ensure the ring and CGM ecosystem were global‑grade from day one.
Together, they built one of India’s first global‑first wearable brands.
Ultrahuman’s Breakthrough Products
1. The Ultrahuman Ring
A precision‑engineered smart ring that tracks:
- Sleep
- HRV (heart rate variability)
- Recovery
- Movement
- Temperature
- Stress patterns
Unlike most wearables, the ring goes beyond “tracking” — it translates inputs into readiness scores and metabolic insights.
2. The Ultrahuman M1 (Continuous Glucose Monitor)
A wearable glucose patch that shows:
- Glucose spikes
- Food reactions
- Energy fluctuations
- Metabolic stability
- Fatigue indicators
The ring + CGM work together to create the world’s first integrated metabolic health platform.
No other wearable ecosystem offers this combination at scale.
What Makes Ultrahuman Different
Ultrahuman didn’t try to win in the fitness band fight.
They aimed higher: metabolic health, longevity, and biohacking.
1. They built for bio‑hackers first
While most Indian brands go mass‑market, Ultrahuman did the opposite.
They targeted:
- early adopters
- keto / fasting communities
- performance athletes
- longevity enthusiasts
- health optimization circles
These users spread the word organically across the globe.
2. They doubled down on science
Every feature claims:
- scientific backing
- clear metabolic reasoning
- research references
- measurable outcomes
This instantly differentiated Ultrahuman from “step counter” competitors.
3. They created a hardware + software + biomarker ecosystem
Apple tracks
Fitbit counts
Oura analyzes
But Ultrahuman connects:
- movement
- sleep
- glucose
- nervous system load
- metabolic flexibility
It’s not a gadget — it’s a daily metabolic coach.

- a metabolic health ecosystem that rivals Silicon Valley
And this entire revolution is led by two Indian founders —
Mohit Kumar and Vatsal Singhal —
who turned personal curiosity into India’s most exciting health‑tech export.
Ultrahuman isn’t just creating a product.
It’s creating a movement for better metabolic health worldwide.
