Care.fi, a healthcare-focused fintech, has acquired Aldun, a discharge-automation platform that enables near-instant patient discharges.
The acquisition aims to deliver a unified, patient-first discharge experience at a national scale.
Aldun claims that it currently supports around 10,000 discharges each month across hospital networks including Aster, Apollo, Manipal, Sir Ganga Ram, Fortis, KIMS, Narayana, and Cloudnine. The platform impacts over 1 lakh patients and has saved hospitals more than 10 lakh administrative hours.
Care.fi plans to expand this solution to 300 hospital units, handling approximately 1 lakh discharges monthly, creating a seamless experience from admission to settlement.
The combined platform integrates Aldun's last-mile orchestration with Care.fi's AI-driven Revenue Cycle Management and financing solutions. This integration addresses slow, manual discharge processes, allowing hospitals to optimise capacity and cash flow. Patients benefit from faster discharges, typically within ten minutes of bill generation, reducing waiting times and enabling earlier recovery at home with clear digital instructions. Hospitals gain higher bed turnover, faster claims closure, and reduced denials, while finance teams access real-time visibility into receivables and working capital.
"Discharge is the last mile of care and the first memory a family takes home. By bringing Aldun into the Care.fi fold, we're turning hours into minutes and queues into capacity. Coupled with our RCM and financing rails, hospitals get one operating layer for faster discharge, cleaner books and a measurably better patient experience," said Vikrant Agrawal, Co-founder of Care.fi.
Care.fi, founded in 2021 by Vikrant Agrawal and Sidak Singh, leverages AI-powered workflows to streamline claims processing, supply chain financing, invoice discounting, receivables financing, working capital loans, and early salary solutions. Its long-term vision is to build a full-stack claims-to-payments platform that combines healthcare and financial services expertise with technology-led innovation.
"At scale, discharge delays aren't just an operational issue, they distort cashflows, capacity planning and patient confidence. This acquisition lets us redesign discharge as a predictable, system-level outcome rather than a daily firefight. By unifying financing, claims and settlement into one workflow, we're helping hospitals release locked capacity, accelerate collections, and deliver a consistent patient experience as they grow across cities and care settings," added Sidak Singh, Co-founder of Care.fi.
With the acquisition, Care.fi and Aldun aim to save over 10 lakh staff hours nationwide, allowing hospitals to refocus time on patient care while providing a transparent, patient-first discharge journey.
