Chapter 01 · Why we started

Weight was never about willpower

It's biology. We started Karespot to make real, medical care for it something people can actually reach.

  1. The problem

    Biology, not willpower

    For millions of people, weight is driven by appetite, metabolism and constant food noise, not a lack of effort.

  2. The gap

    Care behind a premium

    Effective treatment existed, but it was hard to access, poorly explained, and priced as a luxury few could reach.

  3. Our mission

    Great care, for everyone

    We built Karespot so good care isn't a premium privilege. It's accessible to everyone choosing to reclaim their life.

Good care shouldn't be a privilege. It should be where every journey begins.

Eligibility & safety

Who we prescribe to, and how we keep it safe

Weight-loss medication is prescribed to people who meet the approved criteria:

30+

BMI of 30 or above

On its own, with no other condition required.

27+

BMI of 27 or above

With at least one weight-related health condition.

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Prediabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Abnormal cholesterol
  • Fatty liver
  • Obstructive sleep apnoea

Indian obesity guidance: [3] [5]

Why India's thresholds are lower

BMI reads differently for Indian bodies. South Asians carry more visceral fat and develop diabetes, hypertension and fatty liver at lower body weights, so Indian guidance flags overweight from a BMI of just 23 and obesity from 25 (against the international standard of 30) and supports treating at lower thresholds than Western guidelines. That is why your doctor reads your BMI against India-specific cut-offs, not just the international scale.

30 International
25 India (obesity begins)

How we keep it safe

Weight-loss medication is only prescribed under the supervision of, and after a consultation with, an internal medicine doctor. Before anything is prescribed, a detailed medical history is taken to assess whether the medicine is safe and right for you.

If it isn't right for you, we will tell you.

Where the thresholds sit on the BMI scale

The prescribing thresholds use standard BMI. Indian cut-offs, which flag risk earlier, are marked on the scale for context, because metabolic risk in Indian adults begins at lower BMIs.

Under 23 · healthy range 23–24.9 · overweight (Indian cut-offs) 25+ · obesity (Indian cut-offs) Markers · approved treatment thresholds

BMI is a screening measure, not a diagnosis. It can misread muscular or older bodies, and your doctor weighs it alongside waist, history and metabolic markers. Zone boundaries follow the Endocrine Society of India's 2025 guidance [3].

Check your BMI: Indian cut-offs

Chapter 06 · Muscle-smart

Lose fat. Keep your strength

A lot of the weight people lose on GLP-1 medicines can come from muscle, not just fat. [1] So our protocols are designed by a multidisciplinary clinical team to help you get the most from your fat loss while protecting muscle.

What the scale hides

Illustrative comparison of the composition of weight lost. GLP-1 alone: part of the loss is fat lost and part is muscle lost. The Karespot way: the loss is fat lost while muscle protected.

Illustrative, not to scale. A meaningful share of weight lost on GLP-1 medicines alone can be lean muscle. [1] High-protein nutrition and strength-based activity help protect it.

The long term

Built to help you keep it off

Karespot was built by doctors with one aim: to help you keep the weight off, not just lose it.

Obesity is a chronic condition, and when treatment and support stop abruptly, much of the lost weight is often regained. [2] That's why Karespot is built for the long term: ongoing medical support paired with our muscle-smart, holistic approach, so your results are more likely to last.

Check your eligibilityIt only takes a couple of minutes.

Illustrative comparison. With ongoing support: about 85 per cent of the lost weight stays off and about 15 per cent returns. When support stops: about 35 per cent stays off and about 65 per cent returns.

Why ongoing support matters

With ongoing support

Treatment and coaching continue

When support stops

Medication ended abruptly

  • Weight kept off
  • Weight regained

Illustrative, not to scale. With ongoing treatment and support most of the lost weight tends to be kept off, though some regain is normal [4], while much more is regained when treatment and support stop. [2]

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is Karespot?

Karespot is a doctor-led weight-loss service in India that combines prescription GLP-1 medication with personalised health coaching, all supervised by registered doctors. Every patient is seen by an NMC-registered doctor, and the programme also includes a registered dietician, a clinical psychologist and a health coach.

Who is eligible for weight-loss medication at Karespot?

Weight-loss medication is prescribed to people with a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27 or above with at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, fatty liver or obstructive sleep apnoea.

Because South Asians develop metabolic disease at lower body weights, Indian guidance flags overweight from a BMI of 23 and obesity from 25, so your BMI is always read against India-specific cut-offs. Eligibility is confirmed by a doctor during your consultation; meeting a BMI threshold does not automatically mean medication is right for you.

Check your BMI

Does Karespot promote a particular brand of medication?

No. Karespot is brand-agnostic. Our plans include both innovator medicines and Indian biosimilars, and no incentives, commissions or kickbacks are paid to any Karespot care provider to promote a particular medicine, brand or plan.

Your doctor explains the differences in cost and evidence, and the choice is made with you.

Is the weight-loss treatment safe?

Treatment is only prescribed after a doctor reviews your health, and our team supports you and monitors your progress throughout. GLP-1 medicines are prescription-only and are used under medical supervision.

The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, constipation and reflux. They are usually worst in the first weeks and after each dose increase, which is why the dose starts low and is raised slowly.

Do I need a prescription?

Yes. A registered doctor must assess your health before any medication is prescribed. You start with a short online eligibility check, followed by a consultation with an internal medicine doctor.

Which treatments does Karespot offer?

Karespot offers clinically proven GLP-1 medicines such as semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) where appropriate, alongside coaching for nutrition and habits. Your doctor recommends what is suitable for you based on your health profile and weight goals.

Will I regain the weight if I stop the medication?

Often, yes, unless the underlying habits and metabolic drivers have been addressed. Obesity is a chronic, relapsing condition, and studies show a significant proportion of lost weight is regained in the year after GLP-1 treatment stops.

This is exactly why Karespot pairs medication with dietician coaching, psychologist support and strength-based activity, so that when the medication ends, the habits and the muscle remain.

Is Karespot available across India?

Yes. Karespot works through telehealth, so you can access consultations and treatment from anywhere in India. Medication is delivered in plain, unmarked packaging with no identifying labels on the outside.
