“Our presence in the top cities like Mumbai, Delhi Hyderabad, Bangalore among others is strong. Hindi-speaking smaller towns in states like Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, typically called ‘Bimaru states,’ is where our focus is and we see a lot of growth coming from there.” said Kanan

MediBuddy provides users with all-day access to doctors and specialists. It also provides facilities like doorstep medicine delivery and lab tests. The company claims to have a network of 90,000 doctors, 7,000 hospitals, 3,000 diagnostic centres, and 2,500 pharmacies that cover over 96 per cent of pin codes. It is also the largest provider of employee health and wellness services and claimed to cater to over 700 corporates and more than 50 lakh employees and their family members.

“Digitisation of the healthcare industry has helped people living even in the most remote parts of the country avail timely medical care by professionals. With the latest round of funding, we will capitalise on strengthening our network of healthcare service providers and our team while launching new services on the platform,” said Satish Kannan, co-founder and CEO, MediBuddy.
