An Indian technology startup, that claims to be the world’s largest appointment-booking platform for doctors, today announced it has raised more money. 

Bangalore-based Practo has raised $55 million in its Series D funding led by Chinese internet giant, Tencent. The round also saw participation from a clutch of new investors that included ru-Net, RSI Fund, owned by Recruit Holdings, and Thrive Capital.
