Bengaluru-based health-tech startup HealthPlix has raised $13.5 million as part of its ongoing Series B round funding.
The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners in participation from its existing investors including JSW Ventures, Kalaari Capital, and Chiratae.
“The startup plans to grow five times by expanding the doctor base in existing geographies, adding new towns and medical specialties, and bolstering its team and product,” HealthPlix in its statement said.
Speaking on the funding, Vaibhav Agrawal, Partner at Lightspeed, and a former physician said, “What sets HealthPlix apart is its doctor-first B2B approach. Doctors are the most influential decision-makers in healthcare. We believe whichever platform wins their trust will have the sole right to orchestrate the entire $88 billion of healthcare spending. The impact is very clear — improved health outcomes for patients, better practices for doctors, 10x better Insights for pharma and med device companies, and superior underwriting capability for insurers.”
Commenting on the Fundraise, Sandeep Gudibanda, serial entrepreneur and Co-Founder & CEO of HealthPlix said, “Doctors are at the core of healthcare delivery, and at the core of a doctor’s day is his interaction with the patient. These few minutes matter most. It is in this precious interaction that health decisions get made, diagnostic tests get prescribed, pharmaceutical brands get chosen, surgical procedures get planned, and hospital referrals get made. This interaction is the moment of truth, where $88 billion of annual healthcare spend is decided. And in this moment of truth, the ONLY solution that doctors turn to for assistance is HealthPlix.”
“We are doubling down our efforts to help doctors provide in-person or remote consultation to their patients using the same digital platform seamlessly. Doctors using HealthPlix save time and get a unified view of their patient’s disease journey which aids their treatment decisions. These benefits have made HealthPlix the trusted choice among doctors,” Raghuraj Sunder Raju, Co-Founder of HealthPlix further added.
