This is an exciting time for Conscious Chemist as we focus on scaling rapidly and bringing more innovative, science-backed skincare solutions to Indian consumers. Our vision is to transform beauty with products that deliver real results and transformative experiences.”

Apoorv brings invaluable experience from his past tenure at Guild Capital and is serving as a board member for various brands such as Fitelo, Easebuzz, Plix, etc., where he worked closely with these high-growth consumer brands. He set up Atomic Capital, an early-stage fund with an operating VC playbook. He holds a distinctive track record backed by strong exits.

Apoorv, Founder & Managing Partner of Atomic Capital, said, “We believe Conscious Chemist has tremendous potential in the BPC space. Their science-backed approach resonates with today’s consumers, and the brand’s growth trajectory is incredibly promising. I’m looking forward to supporting the team as they work toward their 100 Cr. ARR goal.”

Atomic Capital is an early-stage fund developed by Apoorv Gautam with an operating VC playbook. He holds a distinctive track record backed by strong exits. Apoorv said “The fund has seen strong love from the founder community and given the deal flow we have to be selective in our investments. We were encouraged by Conscious Chemist’s capital efficiency and are very excited to partner with the team. We believe in becoming a true partner in founders’ journeys and not just remaining a passive financial investor. We have built a strong ecosystem of support and Conscious Chemist has already started leveraging our network.”

Atomic Capital has completed its first close within just a few months of launch and is on track to close the fund soon. The fund has a team in place with offices in Mumbai and Bangalore.
