Dr. Arpit Jayswal, Curelo’s Founder and CEO, commented ”We are excited to have CIIE.CO back Curelo. Their conviction reflects the immense potential in our platform and the diagnostic aggregator sector. Our primary focus is scaling nationwide, optimizing user experience, and standardizing sample collection, aiming to serve 1000+ home samples daily by year-end. We are keen to have CIIE.CO support us in this journey with their exceptional sector understanding and network”
In its first ten months of operation, Curelo collaborated with 1350+ labs, handled more than 125,000 orders, and now generates INR 55 Lacs every month with a 30% month throughout month growth.
Mr. Vipul Patel, Partner – Seed Investments at CIIE.CO, said, “The fragmented diagnostic market, commanding an 85% market share, is composed of standalone and hospital-based labs. Whereas, the top four corporate diagnostics chains in India hold a mere 6% share. Arpit’s experience in running a chain of multi-specialty hospitals and diagnostic labs gives him deep insights into the customer pain points. We are excited to partner with the Curelo team and look forward to helping them scale their business.”
