On-demand beauty and wellness services platform Dazzl has raised $3.2 million in a round led by Stellaris Venture Partners.
Angel investors Ritesh Agarwal, founder and CEO of Prism (formerly Oyo); Maninder Gulati, former Oyo CXO; Abhinav Sinha, founder of Kluisz AI; Sameer Brij Verma, founder of Northpoint Capital; and Abhishek Bansal, CEO and cofounder of Shadowfax, also participated in the round.
ET reported on December 19 that Komal Solanki, former Nexus Venture Partners vice president, had launched the 10-minute beauty services platform Dazzl in Bengaluru.
Founded in October 2025, Dazzl offers salon and spa services including waxing, threading, facials, manicures, pedicures, cleanups, and more for women, in 10 minutes.
“Currently, the on-demand beauty services segment operates on a scheduling model, which creates significant friction and cancellations. That’s where this idea came from,” said Solanki. “We spoke to many customers across different cities and it became clear that this friction can be solved through the quick commerce model.”
In the on-demand beauty segment, Dazzl will compete with the recently listed Urban Company’s salon service and Shark Tank fame Yes Madam. However, neither Urban Company nor Yes Madam provide beauty and salon services in 10 minutes.
Currently, the services are active in Bellandur in Bengaluru, with plans to expand to more pin codes in the coming months, Solanki, the company's chief executive, told ET.
“Through this funding our main objective is to validate our thesis around consumers, starting with micro markets in Bengaluru. It requires investment in operations, supply chain, training, technology, and more,” said Solanki.
Ashish Bajpai, former SVP of revenue management and global distribution at Prism, is the cofounder and chief operating officer of Dazzl. “We need to build the entire playbook on operations, supply, technology, and product. So, we will build the team and invest in those areas,” said Bajpai.
Dazzl is launched at a time when the 10-minute services segment in India is booming and platforms are expanding their services. Both Pronto and Snabbit, which provide home services, have recently raised funds. While these startups currently focus on househelp services such as cleaning and cooking prep, they plan to add more as they mature.
“Consumer behaviour has clearly shifted towards immediacy, and we believe this expectation is now extending from products to services. Dazzl is building a fundamentally new operating model for beauty and wellness that is designed for everyday use, speed, and reliability,” said Naman Lahoty, partner at Stellaris Venture, in a statement.
