Mumbai, July 2, 2026: BCT Ventures, a consumer brands platform that is AI‑native across the value chain of insights gathering, product development and go‑to‑market, today announced its official launch and an INR 42 crore seed investment led by 3one4 Capital.
The company will begin with nutrition and wellness, leveraging Nucleus, Resonance and Meridian, its three proprietary AI engines, to build scalable and profitable consumer brands around protocol‑led products, practitioner‑owned distribution, and AI‑driven growth systems. Over time, BCT Ventures plans to apply the same operating thesis to other underserved consumer categories where trusted education, product depth and repeatable growth infrastructure can create category‑leading brands.
India’s nutrition and wellness market is shifting toward preventive care, with urban consumers moving from generic SKUs to practitioner‑backed, protocol‑led solutions. BCT Ventures will begin in this underbuilt category, where consumers are paying a premium for longevity, prevention and performance.
Founded by Kashyap Vadapalli, KV Ravi Shekhar and Anubhav Sonthalia, the company brings together expertise in consumer brand‑building, digital growth, audience scaling, M&A experience and successful venture exits. The founding team has scaled technology‑led businesses across Google, eBay, Pepperfry, Doubtnut, Vedantu, WPP, Sokrati and Dentsu.
The platform is powered by three proprietary engines:
- Resonance (Trust and Attention Engine): Uses practitioner‑led content and AI workflows to build owned audiences and identify emerging consumer needs.
- Nucleus (Product Engine): Converts practitioner expertise, audience demand signals and AI‑led whitespace mapping into protocol‑first products.
- Meridian (Performance Marketing Engine): Uses AI to compress creative testing, media buying, budget allocation and RoAS optimisation.
Together, these engines create a closed‑loop platform. Resonance identifies demand, Nucleus builds the product, Meridian scales growth, and customer data feeds back into each engine to improve the next brand BCT Ventures builds.
Quotes from Founders and Investors:
- Kashyap Vadapalli, Co‑founder: “Digital transformed distribution, data transformed decision‑making, and AI will transform how brands are conceived, built, and scaled. BCT Ventures is built on this belief, and we are excited to create alongside like‑minded partners.”

- Anubhav Sonthalia, Co‑founder: “We’ve built an AI‑native operating system that helps us make better decisions at every stage, from identifying opportunities to launching and scaling brands.”
- Anand Batra, 3one4 Capital: “BCT Ventures is building a new operating model for consumer brand creation, embedding AI across insight, product development, distribution and growth from day one.”
