“After spending 10 years as Founder and CEO of Healthians, I transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman in November 2023 and, over the past year, helped guide the company’s first truly professional management team. For me, Healthians will never be just a company. It has been a mission, a problem worth solving. After scaling it to a valuation of more than Rs 3,000 crore, expanding to over 300 cities, building more than 22 labs, and raising seven rounds of capital without external bankers, we have proven that diagnostics in India can be built at scale, with soul,” Sahni said in a LinkedIn post.

Under Sahni’s leadership, Healthians raised a total of $75 million in funding, with investors such as WestBridge, BEENEXT, DG Ventures, and YouWeCan. Sahni owns a 6.5% stake in the company.

Going ahead, Sahni will focus on supporting new founders through his ₹100 crore fund. In a LinkedIn post, he said he wants to work on bigger healthcare challenges, mentor promising entrepreneurs, and build new businesses.

He added that from this month, he has stepped away from all executive roles and will remain a shareholder, supporting the company as the management team and investors lead it forward.

Healthians’ operating revenue rose 8% year on year to ₹263 crore in FY25, up from ₹243 crore in FY24, according to its filings with the Registrar of Companies.

The company provides at-home diagnostic services in over 250 cities and says it has conducted more than 10 crore tests so far.
