10 The Future Hustle Startups Changing Everyday Life in 2025 We live in a time when hustle isn’t just a mindset—it’s how things get done. Startups around the world are finding clever ways to make daily life smoother, healthier, more effi - cient, or more convenient. In 2025, some of them aren’t just ideas— they’re already changing routines you might not even realize. Here are a few that are doing that, plus what we all can learn from them. Ultrahuman: Wearables That Do More Than Track Steps Let’s start with Ultrahuman, a wearable tech startup based in Bengaluru, India. What began as a quest to build sleek smart rings and wellness trackers has turned into a busi- ness that’s actually profitable. For the fiscal year ending in March 2025, Ultrahuman reported revenue of ₹565 crore (about five times more than the prior year), and a net prof - it of ₹73 crore. The company saw most of its revenue (over 90%) from its flagship smart ring product, but subscriptions also played a key part. Though smaller in amount, they are growing fast and improving profitability because they come with lower production costs. What this startup shows is that “hardware + smart software services” can be a powerful combo— selling something tangible (the ring) and then keeping people engaged (and paying) through subscriptions or features that add value over time.
