QubeHealth, a healthcare payments firm based in Mumbai, has raised an undisclosed amount in a pre-series A round from Unicorn India Ventures and CanBank Venture Capital Fund, a subsidiary of Canara Bank.
The investment positions QubeHealth for its upcoming Series A round, targeting $9 million at a valuation of Rs 270 crore, according to a press release.
The company plans to channel the fresh capital into expanding its technological capabilities and launching new features, including embedded insurance, a generative AI-powered recommendation engine, and a healthcare marketplace.
“We are seeing massive growth, even though we are limited to the B2B2C channel for now,” said Chris George, co-founder, CEO, QubeHealth. “Employees of our corporate clients are adding their family members, and are paying for their healthcare multiple times in a month, giving us deep insights about out-of-pocket healthcare spending in India.”
QubeHealth integrates payments infrastructure, financing, and insurance into its QubePay mobile app, offering discounts, medical finance, and access to healthcare providers without network restrictions, stated the press release.
“It is no secret that medical bills that are not covered by insurance cause considerable financial stress among families. We have seen Qube’s growth over the years and their product market fit has shown encouraging results,” said Bhaskar Majumdar, managing partner, Unicorn India Ventures.
