Ravi Bhogu, CEO and Co-founder of Monitra, “Monitra Health is currently under the midst of a fast-paced expansion as it plans to accelerate entry into 10 major cities across India, access international markets through regulatory approvals and setting up 24×7 world-class patients monitoring centers in India. This ramp up will be supported by the development of AI to predict the possibility of cardiac disorders at an early stage, increasing the life expectancy of people. With Key Venture having a background in running healthcare transactions, they understood the impending threat of cardiovascular diseases, leading to a successful closure of the round with valuable partners.”
The transaction also saw participation from the existing investor, Indian Angel Network, who invested in the 3rd consecutive round. The investment holds significance in Monitra’s next phase of growth which is likely to enter international geographies, expanding distribution channels across East India and start monitoring every biomarker which transfers to the human skin (brain strokes, oxygen saturation, blood pressure and respiratory rate).
Pranay Gupta, Founder of 91Ventures, “We are glad to be part of Monitra’s journey and feel that the team is best suited to solve the cardiac monitoring challenge. Till recently, the family members of a cardiac patient feel completely helpless once the patient is out of the hospital. Monitra’s system is a big relief and a fundamental need for better Cardiac monitoring. It is great to see such startups now coming out of India.”
