The fund will be allocated across technology and AI, hospital partnerships, outreach, operations and R&D
Docbrella, pioneering AI-anchored healthcare navigation-to-decision ecosystem, announced a fund infusion of Rs 50 crore from Chairman, Santosh Agrawal.
Docbrella provides surgical price benchmarking, hospital and doctor comparisons, and integrated access to insurance, ambulance, nursing, and medical equipment rentals, alongside a secure digital health locker and AI-driven decision support ecosystem.
Dinesh Gundu Rao, Minister of Health & Family Welfare, Karnataka, opined, “Docbrella is an umbrella platform uniting all aspects of healthcare consultation. Many people make critical health decisions with incomplete information, leading to exploitation and unnecessarily high costs. Docbrella seeks to change this by securing patient data with AI, providing transparency, and empowering informed choices. We are pleased that this initiative has started in Karnataka, India’s IT capital and a hub for innovation. With proper support, Docbrella can become an essential part of every household’s healthcare journey.”
Santosh Agrawal, “With AI at the core, we are going beyond digitizing healthcare to truly humanising it by giving patients trust, clarity and control. As India’s digital health market grows from $8.8 billion in 2024 to nearly $48 billion by 2033, the future of healthcare will be defined by trust, technology and patient empowerment.”
Joydeep Biswas, Chief Growth Officer, Docbrella, said, “India’s healthcare ecosystem still struggles with limited transparency, unverified provider credentials, unclear treatment packages, and fragmented patient data. With Docbrella, our aim is to bridge this trust gap between patients and providers. Through features like Medi-Locker for secure, AI-powered health data storage, Predictive Health Insights for preventive care, and our Transparency Module that verifies doctor credentials and real-time hospital pricing, we are committed to making healthcare more reliable, transparent, and patient-centric.”
The Rs 50 crore commitment will be allocated across technology and AI (40 per cent), hospital partnerships (25 per cent), outreach (20 per cent), operations (10 per cent) and R&D (5 per cent).
With this, Docbrella aims to cover the top 11 Indian cities by the end of 2025 and capture 15–20 per cent of India’s digitally active urban healthcare market by 2028.
