Real AIIMS trained doctors. Personalized care. Take a 2-minute test, talk to a specialist, and get access to GLP-1 medication.
*Based on SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide) and STEP-1 (semaglutide) clinical trials, with diet and exercise. Individual results vary; your doctor decides what's right for you.
Treats the gut, liver, and metabolism as one connected system — the clinical lens that matters most for Indian GLP-1 patients.
Focused on the metabolic pattern Indian adults develop early — diabetes, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic risk, often before BMI flags it.
Start with a one-on-one consult with an AIIMS-trained MD. Your full plan is built from this conversation.
We run a full blood panel at home (a 12-marker baseline, expanding to a 35-marker panel on Premium), then your doctor walks you through the report. No printouts to decipher alone.
Your prescription delivered to your door each month. Genuine medication, discreetly packaged, free shipping.
We design your plan to minimise side effects. When they happen, your AIIMS doctor — not a chatbot — manages them, fast.
Our coaches build nutrition plans, daily routines, and home workouts that fit the way you actually live.
Every doctor on Kaivo trained at AIIMS. No general physicians, no nurse practitioners, no exceptions. The doctor your family deserves.
Vegetarian-aware. PCOS-aware. Festival-aware. Indian visceral-fat patterns and protein gaps that Western protocols miss — we don't.
Most platforms drop you when you stop the drug. We design a maintenance plan from day one, so the weight stays off — not just falls off.
If you are choosing between Kaivo, a one-off consult with a local endocrinologist, or buying generic semaglutide online without medical supervision — here is what is actually different. All three give you access to the medication; only one is a full clinical program.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are Schedule H drugs in India and cannot legally be sold without a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner. Counterfeit GLP-1 medication is a known global problem — always buy from a licensed pharmacy on a verified prescription. Last reviewed by Dr Rinku Sarmah, AIIMS · 24 May 2026
Start with a Discovery consult to see if Kaivo is right for you. Then pick the program that fits — monthly, 3-month or 6-month.

Five free, AIIMS-doctor-reviewed calculators with Indian-adjusted thresholds — work out your GLP-1 cost, BMI, resting burn, calorie targets and metabolic risk before you start.
What Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic and generic semaglutide actually cost per month in India — monthly, per-week and per-mg, with a titration-aware 6-month projection and a tirzepatide-to-semaglutide switch-and-save guide. Prices current June 2026.
Calculate GLP-1 cost →Body Mass Index using the lower ICMR cutoffs that matter for South Asian bodies — Indians develop diabetes and heart disease at lower weights than the WHO thresholds assume. Toggle between Indian and WHO standards.
Calculate BMI →How many calories your body burns at complete rest, using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula with an optional South Asian adjustment — research shows Indians run 5–11% lower BMR at matched height and weight.
Calculate BMR →Your total daily calorie burn plus a goal-aligned macro split in grams — protein, carbs, fats and fibre. Choose lose, maintain or gain, with protein-per-kg targets to protect muscle on a GLP-1.
Calculate TDEE →For Indian bodies, WHtR often predicts metabolic risk better than BMI — it catches the visceral fat around the liver that drives insulin resistance and fatty liver. The rule of thumb: keep your waist under half your height.
Calculate WHtR →Every Kaivo calculator in one place — BMI, BMR, TDEE & macros, waist-to-height and GLP-1 cost — all free, AIIMS-doctor-reviewed, and tuned with Indian-adjusted thresholds.
