Appropriately enough for the holiday season, two fitness apps make the cut today along with a travel app. There are also two fintech startups, serving different ends of the spectrum of users. Logistics, car rental, edtech, and a marketplace complete the list for today’s rising startups.

FitMeIn

FitMeIn has raised an undisclosed amount in a pre-series A round led by Japanese health tech company FiNC. Current investor GHV participated in the funding.

FitMeIn offers multi-center membership to gyms and other wellness centers in Delhi and Mumbai. With the funding, it intends to provide nutrition and healthcare advice apart from getting into corporate wellness programs. β€œWe hope to contribute to the solution of large health issues in India such as diabetes and obesity,” says FiNC CEO Yuji Mizoguchi.

FitMeIn co-founders Nidhisha Varshney, Lalit Singh, and Vishesh Goel were earlier colleagues at Ernst & Young.

And here’s another fitness app which is in expansion mode. Fitpass has raised US$1 million in a seed round from Mumbai Angels and other angel investors in Delhi and Bangalore.

Fitpass provides an all-access pass to gyms and other wellness centers in the Delhi NCR region. The funding will enable it to expand to other cities in India.
