It offer products and services for out-patient health concerns of Indian women, across their lifetime – from puberty to menopause.

“The stigma attached to women’s menstrual, sexual and reproductive health issues, coupled with lack of access to non-judgemental support, have long prevented many women from addressing their healthcare needs. At Proactive For Her, we believe all women should have access to the best medical experts, who have a patient-centric, liberal and empathetic approach to women’s health issues. We have seen an overwhelming adoption so far across our offerings.” Achitha Jacob, CEO, and Founder, Proactive For Her, said.

“At Nexus, we always acknowledged the gap which women in India faced due to lack of a trustworthy and non-judgemental clinical care infrastructure. Unfortunately, many serious conditions in women have been either trivialised as lifestyle issues or ignored due to social stigma or lack of education.” Anand Datta, Principal, Nexus Venture Partners, said.

Women healthtech startup Proactive For Her has engaged with over 5,000 women so far, through webinars, teleconsultation services etc. Within the next year, the startup aims to service 100,000+ women through their various products, services, and community engagement initiatives.
