Dazzl Secures USD 3.2M Seed Funding to Build On-Demand Beauty & Wellness Platform

Dazzl, an on-demand beauty and wellness services platform, has raised $3.2 million in a Seed round led by Stellaris Venture Partners, marking its first institutional fundraise. The round also saw participation from prominent founders and operators including Ritesh Agarwal (Founder & Group CEO, PRISM; formerly OYO), Maninder Gulati (former OYO CXO), Abhinav Sinha (Founder, Kluisz AI; former OYO COO), Sameer Brij Verma (Founder, Northpoint Capital; former MD & Partner, Nexus Venture Partners), and Abhishek Bansal (CEO & Co-founder, Shadowfax).

The funds will be used to pilot and scale Dazzl’s quick beauty and wellness services across select micro-markets in Bengaluru, build repeatable hyperlocal operations and go-to-market playbooks, and invest in core technology, training systems, and service quality infrastructure.

Founded by Komal Solanki (IIT Delhi, Harvard Business School) and Ashish Bajpai (IIT Kanpur), Dazzl is reimagining beauty and wellness for modern urban consumers by shifting the category from scheduled appointments to on-demand, at-home services delivered within 10 minutes.

“What should be about looking and feeling your best has quietly become a planning-heavy chore,” said Komal Solanki, Co-founder and CEO, Dazzl. “Dazzl removes that friction by enabling instant, high-quality beauty and wellness services at home—so consumers can access care when they want it, not when a schedule allows.”

Unlike traditional platforms focused on occasional use, Dazzl is built for everyday, high-frequency needs—such as a last-minute blow dry, a quick head massage, or an impromptu pedicure. By vertically owning supply, training, and operations, and positioning professionals close to demand clusters, the platform ensures consistent service quality and rapid response times.

“Over the next year, our focus is on deepening adoption in Bengaluru and demonstrating strong repeat usage across clusters,” said Ashish Bajpai, Co-founder and COO, Dazzl. “We are building a scalable tech and operations playbook that can be replicated efficiently across new cities.”

Commenting on the investment, Naman Lahoty, Partner at Stellaris Venture Partners, said,

“Consumer expectations have shifted decisively towards immediacy, and this is now extending from products to services. Dazzl is building a new operating model for beauty and wellness—designed for speed, reliability, and everyday use. We’re excited to partner with the team as they build this category from the ground up.”
