Health education startup Virohan announced that it has received an undisclosed amount of grants from the Wadhwani Foundation and ACT Grants. The startup had earlier raised $2.8 million across Seed and Series A funding rounds in August 2020.
Founded in 2018, Gurugram based Virohan is aimed at providing trained allied healthcare practitioners (AHPs) such as OT technicians, medical lab technicians, and X-ray technicians, among others. The health education startup is working to close the gap between industry demand and the skills of the workforce in the healthcare segment. The startup was founded by Kunaal Dudeja, Nalin Saluja, and Archit Jayaswal.
Kunaal Dudeja, CEO and Co-founder, said, “Virohan’s vision is to educate over one million students by 2025, through its best-in-class, blended learning platform. The grant from Wadhwani is an important step in fulfilling that vision.”
Ratna Mehta, EVP, Wadhwani Catalyst Fund, said, “Currently there is a significant demand-supply gap of healthcare workers and the need is expected to grow exponentially over the next decade. We are proud and excited to support Virohan in its endeavor to improve the healthcare ecosystem. It is a new age healthcare education company which has built an advanced tech stack and an asset-light model to improve outcomes.”
In a statement Virohan mentioned that the fresh capital will be utilised to achieve its vision to educate over one million people.
