Actor and entrepreneur Kunal Kapoor has launched 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 Mumbai-based venture is co-founded by Kapoor alongside Varun Sheth and Zaheer Adenwala, the team behind healthcare crowdfunding platform Ketto.
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 continuous care model. Every member begins with a metabolic assessment covering more than 35 biomarkers, after which an endocrinologist, diabetologist, cardiologist, or internal medicine specialist develops a treatment plan tailored to the individual’s health profile.
“Fourteen years of building Ketto teaches you to see patterns,” said Kapoor, Co-Founder of MetaGO. “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. 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.”
Sheth, Co-Founder and CEO of MetaGO, said the platform is designed around continuity of care rather than episodic treatment. “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,” he said.
The founders’ experience running Ketto, which connects donors with families raising funds for medical treatment, shaped the venture’s focus: many patients they encountered were facing advanced-stage diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or obesity that had roots in metabolic issues untreated for years.
MetaGO’s medical advisory board includes cardiologist Dr. Kaushal Patel, who noted that GLP-1 therapies work best “combined with proper clinical supervision, metabolic monitoring, and sustained lifestyle support.”
As part of early outreach, MetaGO has already run a free metabolic health camp for the Mumbai Police, offering blood tests and physician consultations, with plans to expand similar community initiatives to other professional groups in the coming months.
