Indian startups are doing really well in the world market and same is the case with the healthcare Indian-based startup, Mfine which has just fetched $17.2 million Series B funding for its growth and development. Mfine is an Indian startup which makes people access doctors and healthcare using the internet.

Under the leadership of four co-founders of Myntra, Mfine is being run. Myntra is the fashion e-commerce website which was acquired by another Indian e-commerce giant, Flipkart in 2014. Four people handling this Indian startup Prasad Kompalli and Ashutosh Lawania and then were joined by Ajit Narayanan and Arjun Choudhary, Myntra’s former CTO after some time.

The funding round is going under SBI Investment of Japan which is being participated from SBI Ven Capital and another Japanese investor, Beenext. Stellaris Venture Partners and Prime Venture Partners which are backing Mfine up for last some years have also returned to follow on. Till now, Mfine has raised $23 whopping million.

As per Prasad Kompalli, “In India, at a macro-level, good doctors are far and few and distributed very unevenly.” In an interview with TechCrunch, he said, the fundamental motive of this platform is to make a large hospital on the cloud.

Mfine and other healthcare tech platforms

Although Mfine is not only the Indian healthcare tech platform. Practo has been doing it for quite some time and has raised over $180 million from investors. Tencent has been funding it for quite a time now and they both are running hand in hand. But, Mfine is different from Practo and focuses on partnerships with doctors, clinics, and hospitals. This is what makes Mfine different from other health tech platforms- especially the ones which offer sessions with doctors and healthcare professionals who are recruited by the platform itself on a daily basis.

Kompalli said, “We are entering a different phase of what is called health tech… the problems that are going to be solved will be much deeper in nature.”
