Healthcare technology startup Docterz raises Rs 5 Cr from Vineeta Singh and twenty doctor-investors
Healthcare technology startup Docterz, founded by paediatrician Dr Atish Laddad, has raised Rs 5 crore from approximately 35 investors, including doctors who actively use its platform.
Around 20 doctors from its user base invested nearly Rs 3 crore, contributing about 60% of the total funding. The investor group also includes Vineeta Singh, co-founder and CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics, and Avnish Anand, co-founder and former CEO of CaratLane.
Docterz plans to deploy the capital towards organic growth, potential acquisitions and the development of AI-powered tools for doctors. It also intends to expand its presence among independent practitioners, smaller clinics and healthcare organisations across India.
Established over a decade ago, Docterz provides an integrated platform covering electronic medical records, appointment scheduling, billing, vaccination management and patient engagement. Its technology is currently used by more than 5,000 doctors across India, with a significant presence in paediatrics.
The company is also working on AI-based tools to assist doctors with documentation, administrative processes, practice data analysis and patient follow-ups.
Dr Dhananjay Sangle, a paediatrician and investor in Docterz, said he chose to invest after using the platform for several years and developing confidence in its founder.
Vineeta Singh said customer participation in a funding round serves as a strong indicator of a business’s credibility. She added that doctors investing in Docterz demonstrated their confidence in the platform and its founder.
Dr Suhas Warad, another paediatrician and investor, said technology built around doctors’ requirements could improve practice management efficiency and allow them to dedicate more time to patient care.
