Continued Momentum in Pre-Series B

Virohan had initiated its pre-Series B round in December 2022, raising $7 million in a round also led by Blume Ventures. The current infusion marks a significant step toward expanding its operations and improving service delivery in India’s growing healthcare education market.

As per regulatory filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), Virohan’s board approved a special resolution to issue 1,783 pre-Series B3 compulsorily convertible preference shares (CCPS) at a price of ₹1,44,072 per share. The capital raised will be used for general operations, working capital, capital expenditures, and business expansion.

Blume Ventures will contribute ₹15 crore, while Bharat Inclusive Technologies and Rebright Partners will invest ₹5.7 crore and ₹5 crore, respectively. Following this allotment, Virohan’s post-money valuation is estimated to reach ₹530 crore (around $62 million), representing a 25% increase from its last funding round.
