Arpana Shahi is Co-Founder of Gabit, a holistic health and wellness platform based in Gurugram, India, combining AI-powered fitness coaching, smart wearables, nutrition, skincare, and mindfulness into one integrated ecosystem.
Arpana holds an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, and built her career across McKinsey and Company, UNINOR (Telenor Group), and consumer tech startups before founding SkillTap, an edtech venture.
A serial entrepreneur and speaker at forums like the TiE D2C Summit, Arpana believes that scaling a brand requires deep consumer understanding, clear differentiation, and relentless execution.
At Gabit, she co-leads a venture that has raised over $14M across multiple rounds from investors including Norwest Venture Partners, Deepinder Goyal (Zomato), and Kunal Shah (CRED), and has attracted celebrity backers Ranbir Kapoor and Badshah.
Gabit's flagship Smart Ring, named Best Smart Ring of the Year at Amazon India's Best in Tech Awards 2025, tracks 150+ health markers, and the company expanded its platform through the strategic acquisition of Swedish nutrition brand Nack in December 2025.
