The healthtech company is focused on the "Employee Healthcare Management' vertical. Qube Health provides primary care, health screening, and other 'non-insurance healthcare services' to large companies across six different industries including, financial services, food services, facility management, and manufacturing.

Over the past three years, the company has been said to have grown rapidly and is set to disrupt the employee health and benefits industry in India, by using advanced data science, the largest aggregation of healthcare service providers in India and a mission to simplify Indian healthcare for the employed Indian.

"Qube Health has created an AI-driven healthtech platform where they have already aggregated more than 11,000 hospitals and clinics for easy access for professionals who are covered under a variety of mediclaim and healthcare benefits provided by the companies. The data insights can help companies and individuals understand their organization, the employee and their family's health better, to plan better health outcomes for everyone. Qube Health AI engine is making it simpler for companies and their employees to understand all their healthcare options – insurance-paid or self-paid, while saving costs, and remaining compliant on regulatory issues.

"It is a privilege to have such experienced and established investors believe in our vision of simplifying healthcare for all Indians. The majority of the healthcare expenditure in India is non-insurance paid. This is very unlike other countries, and while the health insurance industry in India is growing, the out-of-pocket healthcare industry is growing even faster. Our mission is to make life easier for the employed Indians who pay for their healthcare from their pockets and the HR Teams at the companies they work for. We were particularly excited about the network of individual investors that are now part of our story, as a result of this fundraise. They bring industry access and mentorship as we navigate the complex nature of the Indian healthcare system," shared Chris George, co-founder, and chief executive officer, Qube Health.

Qube Health focuses on the $45 billion 'out-of-pocket healthcare space within the Indian healthcare industry, with over 11,000 hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centres as partners across India.
