With a 90% export model, $3M in ARR, and an upcoming Kickstarter launch, the neurotech pioneer opens a $5 Million bridge round to scale to $30M ARR.
Sychedelic, a pioneering deeptech startup based out of Delhi, has announced its participation in VivaTech France 2026, Europe’s premier startup and tech event. Exhibiting at Pavilion 7, Booth 1F39-002, the company is set to showcase its groundbreaking neurotechnology to a global audience, positioning India as a major hub for medical-grade consumer deeptech.
Sychedelic holds a distinct competitive edge as the only consumer brain wearable to receive CDSCO approval (Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, India’s equivalent to the US FDA). Built on a highly lucrative 90% export-driven business model, the company has already achieved a $3 Million annualized revenue run rate (ARR). To capitalize on explosive international demand, Sychedelic has officially opened a $5 Million bridge round designed to scale its ARR from $3 Million to $30 Million.
True Real-Time Closed-Loop Neurotech
Founded by Ria Rustagi and Bhavya, Sychedelic has developed the world’s first closed-loop neuromodulation wearable in a familiar headphone format designed for everyday use. While existing market alternatives rely on static, pre-set programs, Sychedelic’s proprietary technology continuously monitors, analyzes, and responds to a user’s mental state in real time. The device seamlessly integrates:
- Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): To safely deliver targeted, low-intensity microcurrents that gently modulate neuronal activity.
- Binaural Beats: To scientifically entrain brainwaves into highly optimized cognitive or deeply relaxed states.
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback: To track physiological stress markers in real-time, completing the adaptive neurological biological loop.
By pairing clinical-grade neurostimulation with custom-trained adaptive AI, the headphones create personalized, real-time neuroadaptive experiences engineered for immediate stress reduction, cognitive focus enhancement, structural sleep support, and deep mental wellness.
From VivaTech to Global Launch
Having spent the last six months refining its hardware and adaptive algorithms alongside a cohort of over 100 active early adopters, Sychedelic is ready for the global stage. Global consumers and backers will soon be able to pre-order the device via an upcoming international campaign live on Kickstarter.
