The company is increasing its offerings to incorporate GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro—used to treat type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, obesity—and expects revenue from its GLP-1 companion programmes to exceed Healthify's main revenue in three to four years, Tushar Vashisht, co-founder and chief executive officer, told Mint in an interview.

The healthtech firm, which started out as a calorie and nutrition-tracking app, expects demand for weight-loss drugs to surge in India.
