Beauty services startup Dazzl raises $3.2 Mn in round led by Stellaris

Bengaluru-based beauty services startup Dazzl has raised $3.2 million in a seed funding round led by Stellaris Venture Partners. 

The round also saw participation from angel investors including Ritesh Agarwal, Maninder Gulati, Abhinav Sinha, Sameer Brij Verma and Abhishek Bansal.

Dazzl will use the new funding to test its services in a few selected areas of Bengaluru, set up smooth local operations, and invest in technology and staff training.

The startup began operations last month and is currently active in one area of Bengaluru—Bellandur. Over the next few months, Dazzl plans to expand to nearby areas in the city based on customer demand and population density.

“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 Cofounder and CEO of Solanki. “We spoke to many customers across different cities and it became clear that this friction can be solved through the quick commerce model.”

“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.

“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.

About Dazzl 

Founded in October 2025 by ex-Nexus Venture Partners’ VP Komal Solanki and ex-OYO executive Ashish Bajpai, Dazzl provides on-demand beauty and wellness services at home. It focuses on quick services like blow-dries, head massages and pedicures with professionals reaching customers within 10 minutes.

Unlike platforms that require advance appointments, Dazzl is built for frequent and last-minute needs. The company follows a supply-led model, managing its own hiring, training and operations to maintain consistent service quality.

According to the startup, early customer response has been positive, especially among working professionals and young parents who want short self-care services that fit into busy and unpredictable schedules.
