Docterz raises Rs 5 crore from doctors, Vineeta Singh and Avnish Anand
Docterz, a healthcare technology startup founded by paediatrician Dr Atish Laddad, has raised Rs 5 crore from around 35 investors.
Around 20 of the investors are doctors who use the platform, and together they put in nearly Rs 3 crore, about 60% of the total. The group also includes Vineeta Singh, co-founder and CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics, and Avnish Anand, co-founder and former CEO of CaratLane.
The company plans to use the funds to expand organically, explore acquisitions and develop AI tools for doctors. It also aims to widen its reach among independent practitioners, smaller clinics and healthcare organisations across India.
Docterz was founded over a decade ago and offers an integrated platform for electronic medical records, appointments, billing, vaccination management and patient engagement.
