Whale Wearable

Self defence wearables

Did the deal close?

No registered company foundTrading status unknown

We could not find a registered company behind this brand. A sole proprietorship cannot issue shares, so a deal would need a new company first.

What we found: Searched properly: registry searches on whale wearables, whale wearable, whale wearables plural, whale safety, whale wearable technologies and the founder name Nandita Yenagi all return zero rows, and the only near-name company, Whale Pod Technologies Private Limited (U52399TG2021PTC155454), is in Hyderabad and unrelated. The brand's own terms and refund pages carry no entity, CIN or GST - only 'the laws of Belagavi, Karnataka'. The Tracxn round of about 34.4K USD from two investors is a good closure signal for the 30 Lakh two-shark cheque but is not entity evidence. Company was founded in 2024 and may still be unincorporated. Confidence: medium.
