• Series B led by Bertelsmann India, with Elevar Equity and BII participation.
• Expanding eClinic network across Jharkhand, Bihar, UP, and MP.
• Investing in workflow automation and predictive care for underserved regions.

Health-tech startup focused on rural areas CureBay has raised $21 million in a Series B round led by Bertelsmann India Investments. Earlier investors Elevar Equity and British International Investment (BII), the development finance institution of the UK, also joined the round.

The freshly raised capital will be utilized to enhance CureBay's technology infrastructure and expand its rural healthcare network in underserved parts of India. The firm aims to increase its footprint in Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, as well as broaden its in- house tech stack, automation of workflows, and predictive care tools specifically designed for rural populations.

Established in 2021 by Priyadarshi Mohapatra, Shobhan Mahapatra, and Sanjay Swain, CureBay runs more than 150 eClinics in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. It offers various services like doctor consultations, diagnostics, pharmacy facilities, and surgical referrals. Odisha startup has treated more than 550,000 unique patients till date, with a team of more than 1,000 "Swasthya Mitras" devotedly facilitating last-mile healthcare delivery.

“We’re solving access, not affordability,” said CureBay CEO Priyadarshi Mohapatra. “Rural patients often delay treatment due to time and income constraints. Worse, when they do seek care, they’re frequently exploited by brokers. Our platform ensures timely, trustworthy care closer to home.”
With this funding, CureBay aims to enter its next phase of scale building tech, expanding operations, and hiring talent to deepen impact across rural India.
