SINGAPORE: Singapore‑based consumer dental startup Zenyum and Indian consumer brand MakeO toothsi are set to merge by the end of the month, creating a combined Asian consumer dental group with a network of around 1,100 partner dentists spanning markets from the Middle East to Japan. MakeO, toothsi’s holding company, has signed a deal to acquire Zenyum, aiming to drive growth through technology, supply chain synergies and expanded product offerings. The group will be headquartered in Mumbai, and Zenyum’s Singapore base will serve customers in Southeast Asia and northern Asia.

Zenyum is known for its aligners and oral care products across Asia, and toothsi provides aligners and related dental services in India. Both brands will remain distinct for consumers as the integration proceeds and the group explores a potential future stock exchange listing. Under the agreement, Zenyum will be integrated into MakeO’s structure, and leadership roles will be preserved for both companies’ CEOs.

Speaking to Reuters, Zenyum CEO Julian Artopé commented: “It’s a merger of equals in the sense that both businesses are operating on similar top-line numbers, while being extremely complementary in terms of their respective geographies.”

The combined business will operate across Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan, the UAE and Vietnam, offering orthodontic products and services through online channels and clinic-based care delivered by partner practices. The group is expected to leverage its broader geographic footprint and expanded network of partner dentists to enhance access to orthodontic and other oral care solutions, using technology, including artificial intelligence tools, to improve efficiencies.

While financial terms were not disclosed, both companies described the transaction as a merger that brings together two businesses of comparable revenue scale. They expect near-term efficiencies primarily from supply chain integration, as well as further growth from product expansion.
