Healthcare in India is primarily curative and with increasing burden of NCD’s and other lifestyle related conditions, it is imperative that we start working towards a culture of preventive health. This round of funding is a step in that direction, to make AllizHealth a pioneer in the space of preventive care and risk management.“ Chinmoy Mishra, Co-founder, Allizhealth Chinmoy is an NIT Rourkela graduate and an MBA from Babson College, Boston.

There are too many patients, and not enough doctors. The increasing tension and mistrust between doctors and patients is just making a bad situation worse! The industry is ripe for disruption, and start-ups such as AllizHealth, which focus on putting patients first, will do very well. They can leverage technology to create a trusted platform for patients and doctors. This will help health insurers keep their customers happy; and employers keep their employees productive. The focus should be on prevention, rather than on illness care, by empowering users with trusted information that is tailored to their needs” Dr. Aniruddha Malpani, Deal Lead, Mumbai Angels “We are happy to have completed the funding in a crucial space such as Preventive healthcare.
