Care24, a Mumbai-based home healthcare platform, has raised US$4 million in Series A round of funding from SAIF Partners.

Indian Quotient, which previously backed the startup with US$350,000 in October last year, also invested in the current round.

Care24, which claims to have assisted 3,000 patients till date, will use the capital to consolidate its presence in Mumbai and expand to more cities.

“In India, the home healthcare category is seeing a focus now and an investment in developing the standard customer-centric healthcare service delivery system is a must for achieving quality services at scale. Care24 intends on using the investment to boost its service quality, deepen its offerings while tapping the healthcare sector using technology innovations — to provide an integrated patient care,” said Co-founder and CEO Vipin Pathak.
