Kolkata Startup Yes Sir Secures Funding to Expand Men’s Wellness Services Across India

Kolkata’s startup ecosystem continues to strengthen its presence in emerging consumer segments, with Yes Sir raising fresh funding from Kolkata Ventures and Bengal Angel Network.

Founded in 2024, Yes Sir is a specialised platform offering men-only, at-home grooming and wellness services. In a short span of time, the startup has scaled rapidly, establishing operations across 13 cities including Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Faridabad.

The company is currently valued at ₹118 crore and has served over 1 lakh customers, with an impressive 74% repeat usage rate, highlighting strong customer loyalty and rising demand in India’s male wellness segment.

Yes Sir has also built a robust network of over 250 trained professionals across its operating cities. These professionals earn an average of ₹75,000 per month, positioning the platform as a premium player in India’s evolving gig economy landscape.

A key differentiator for the startup is its focus on privacy and inclusivity. By offering a safe and judgment-free environment, the platform caters to a wide spectrum of users, including members of the LGBTQ+ community.

The investment round saw participation from prominent investors associated with Bengal Angel Network, including Sourav Ganguly, Chandrasekhar Ghosh, Samit Ghosh, and Suvankar Sen, among others.

Kolkata Ventures, regarded as one of East India’s largest startup incubators, has supported over 550 revenue-generating startups over the past decade. Operating as an Indo-US collaboration, the organisation continues to play a crucial role in fostering entrepreneurship and driving economic growth in the region.

With the fresh capital infusion, Yes Sir plans to expand into new cities, strengthen its technology infrastructure, and scale operations further, aiming to consolidate its position in India’s fast-growing men’s grooming and wellness market.

As startups like Yes Sir continue to rise, Kolkata is steadily cementing its place as a hub for innovative, high-growth ventures in India.
