YourStory recently reported that Bengaluru-based telemedicine and mobile health startup Practo is looking to raise about Rs 60 crore in debt funding from Trifecta Venture Debt Fund – II in six tranches.

Although Practo did not confirm or comment on the development, MCA filings revealed Practo has already received the first tranche amounting to Rs 15 crore. 

The company last raised $32 million in August 2020 in a round led by A1A Company.

According to the 2020 report titled “Reinventing Healthcare Delivery With Telemedicine” by Telemedicine Society of India (TSI) and Practo, India recorded a 3X increase in the number of people using online consultations, while in-person appointments have reduced by 32 percent between March to November 2020.

Amid increasing demand for teleconsultations, the company also recently launched online consultations in 15 Indian languages in order to break the barrier between patients and doctors. Now, patients can choose doctors who can speak in their preferred language.
