GuruNanda, LLC

GuruNanda, LLC (branded "GuruNanda") is a privately held consumer wellness company headquartered at 6645 Caballero Blvd., Buena Park, California. It was founded around 2013–2015 by CEO Puneet Nanda, previously founder of the oral-care company Dr. Fresh (sold to High Ridge Brands in 2017). Corporate filings list Nanda as manager/CEO and entities including Jai Hanuman LLC and Blue Sky Global Ltd. as members; no public parent or ticker is disclosed. Size estimates vary widely: the Orange County Business Journal reported roughly 200 employees at a 285,000-square-foot Buena Park facility, while PitchBook (~98) and Tracxn (~136) list smaller counts. The company appeared on the Inc. 5000 in 2024 and 2025; the OCBJ quoted Nanda saying revenue grew from about $20 million to "hundreds of millions," though no audited figure is public.

GuruNanda sells Ayurvedic- and aromatherapy-inspired self-care products: essential oils, oil-pulling mouthwash and pulling-oil packets, toothbrushes and dental flossers, concentrated mouthwash, water flossers, dietary supplements (e.g., black seed oil), diffusers/humidifiers, and bath and beauty items. It sells direct-to-consumer via gurunanda.com and through Amazon, Walmart, and TikTok Shop. It also holds its own design and utility filings, including bottle and floss-pick designs and a water flosser with mouthwash pods.

Litigation posture: GuruNanda appears once in this database, solely as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case), consistent with an operating company defending an infringement suit rather than a patent assertion entity. It is not an NPE and does not appear to be an active two-way litigant.

Notable case: CAO Group, Inc. v. GuruNanda, LLC, No. 8:25-cv-02074 (C.D. Cal., filed Sept. 12, 2025; Judge James V. Selna). Utah-based CAO Group, a dental/laser and teeth-whitening products company (Sheer White! strips), asserts five patents (U.S. 10,602,259; 10,646,419; 11,219,582; 11,826,444; 11,826,445) directed to peroxide gel bleaching compositions and devices. CAO has filed similar suits against whitening-product sellers, including a Schedule A case in N.D. Ill. and a suit against Walmart in D. Utah. Venue here is the defendant's home district, not a plaintiff-friendly forum such as the Eastern District of Texas. GuruNanda answered with a jury demand on Feb. 2, 2026; the case remains pending.
