Health Tech startup Orange Health has raised $25 million in a Series B funding round. The round was led by Bertelsmann India Investments and co-led by General Catalyst. The round also witnessed participation from existing investors like Accel, Y Combinator, Good Capital and Uncorrelated Ventures.
The company, which was set in December 2020, is currently looking to set up India's fastest diagnostic lab service.
The funds raised will be deployed towards deeper investment in product development as well as technology across systems, user experience and building world-class laboratories.
Launched in Dec 2020 by Dhruv Gupta and Tarun Bhambra, Orange Health has since provided diagnostic testing services to over 1 million customers across Bengaluru and Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR).
Orange Health has built its business by providing customers a wide range of diagnostic tests at home in just 60 minutes, from 6 am to 10 pm, 7 days a week. Further, the company also delivers reports from NABL accredited labs in just 6 hours for Blood tests and 9 hours for COVID-19 test after the sample is taken. A person can register on the app for a test by filling out their personal details on an order form and then select a time slot suitable for them.
