U.S. nutrition startup Berry Street announced on Monday its merger with India-based Healthify, a company backed by Khosla Ventures, to capitalize on the growing trend of individuals utilizing GLP-1 drugs for weight loss. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. The combined entity will be co-led by Berry Street founder Noah Kotlove and Healthify founder Tushar Vashisht, operating under the Berry Street brand in the U.S. and as Healthify in other markets, such as India.
Healthify, which has secured over $150 million in funding, provides AI-powered and human fitness and nutritional coaching through its app, serving more than 45 million customers. The company expanded its U.S. operations last year and began offering GLP-1-aided programs in India.

The merger aims to leverage Healthify’s AI capabilities and Berry Street’s clinical infrastructure to redefine metabolic care and provide widespread access to nutrition guidance and expert dietitian advice.
