India’s patient-centric online health aggregation platform Zoctr has raised an undisclosed sum in pre-Series A round of funding from Times Group’s Brand Capital.

The Mumbai-based startup plans to use the funds for advertising and marketing activities.

Zoctr, which currently has operations in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Pune and Ahmedabad, also plans to expand across the country.
