Actor & entrepreneur Kunal Kapoor announces launch of health platform MetaGO

Renowned actor and entrepreneur Kunal Kapoor today announced the launch of MetaGO, a doctor-led metabolic health platform designed to help people manage obesity and related metabolic conditions through structured medical care, diagnostics and long-term clinical support.

The idea for MetaGO emerged from what its founders - Kunal Kapoor, Varun Sheth and Zaheer Adenwala - saw during more than a decade of building Ketto. Working with thousands of families raising funds for serious medical treatment, they witnessed firsthand the financial and emotional burden of conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and related disorders. Many of these conditions had their roots in metabolic health long before they became medical emergencies, stated a press release.

The insight was simple: helping people earlier would require a different model of care. Built around the belief that effective metabolic care is continuous, MetaGO combines doctor-led consultations, metabolic assessments, personalised treatment plans, clinically appropriate GLP-1 therapies, nutrition guidance, fitness coaching, and ongoing monitoring into a single, integrated care model. Rather than treating weight management as a short-term intervention, the platform is designed to help people build healthier habits and improve their metabolic health over time.

Commenting on the launch, Kunal Kapoor, Co-Founder, MetaGO, said: "Fourteen years of building Ketto teaches you to see patterns. We met thousands of families at some of the hardest moments of their lives, often after years of diabetes, obesity, or other metabolic conditions had progressed. Over time, it became clear that many of those conditions had begun developing years before anyone needed medical treatment.

That's what led to MetaGO. We're not building a weight-loss company. We're focused on the years when the right intervention is a doctor’s consultation instead of a surgery.

GLP-1 therapies have genuinely changed what's possible for many people living with obesity, but medication is only one part of the journey. Lasting outcomes come from combining it with medical supervision, nutrition, behaviour change and ongoing support. Nobody should be left alone with a strong drug and a printout. At MetaGO, we believe you need to “Stop fighting your biology alone” "

Varun Sheth, Co-Founder & CEO, MetaGO, added: "India has made significant progress in expanding access to healthcare, and we believe the next opportunity lies in making long-term metabolic care more continuous and connected. MetaGO is centered around that idea: doctor-led from day one, delivered to your doorstep, and designed around your life. Our ambition is to make the standard of care that was previously available only to a privileged few accessible to every Indian who needs it. More broadly, we believe the future of healthcare will increasingly shift towards earlier, more continuous metabolic health management, enabled by diagnostics, digital care, and evidence-based therapies."

Dr. Kaushal Patel, Cardiologist, MetaGO Medical Advisory, said: “GLP-1 therapies have expanded the treatment options available for people living with obesity, but their impact is greatest when combined with proper clinical supervision, metabolic monitoring, and sustained lifestyle support. MetaGO's model is founded on this principle, ensuring that every member receives evidence-based, physician-led care designed to deliver meaningful long-term health outcomes."
