Global HealthX announces its startup cohort; surpasses $15 M in healthcare investments
Over the past two years, Global HealthX, the Global University Foundation’s healthcare and life sciences innovation hub, has invested over $15 million in studio-built ventures and healthcare and life sciences startups.
Global HealthX, which operates at the nexus of technology, healthcare, and life sciences, combines market-access partnerships, strategic investments, and a venture studio into a single, cohesive model. The platform seeks to close systemic gaps in India’s healthcare system, specifically those related to continuity of care, affordability, and access.
Five startups from the most recent cohort—TapHealth, Wellytics, Monitra Health, Merry Health, and Avika—are involved in emergency response, genomics-driven precision medicine, cardiac monitoring, AI-led chronic care, and virtual reality-based mental health therapy.
Depending on scale and impact potential, the Hyderabad-based company can make follow-on investments from pre-seed to Series A and beyond. Typically, it invests between $250,000 and $500,000 per company.
In 2026, Global HealthX intends to invest $8–10 million in ten more healthcare and life sciences startups, reaffirming its dedication to constructing long-term healthcare infrastructure in India while facilitating appropriate market access.
Global HealthX (GHX), a healthcare and life sciences venture studio, accelerator, and investment fund centered on innovation, R&D, and startup acceleration in India, is led by Ravindranath Kancherla. It functions as the Global Institute for Research & Innovation’s (GIRI) innovation arm and seeks to increase access to healthcare by utilizing technology and professional mentoring.
