Gytree announced its first round of fundraising, led by Biocon’s Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Rainmatter Investments, Ajay Srinivasan former CEO of Aditya Birla Capital, Anubhuti Sharma of San Francisco-based Millie Clinic amongst others. The platform uses technology to provide women with an intelligent dashboard, experts and personalised journeys for better health outcomes.
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Chairperson, Biocon said, “We need to build female first products in health and for way too long India has ignored that. Gytree fills an important gap in using technology to solve for personalised health needs of women through products and services. I am delighted to lend support to Shaili and her team on this purposeful journey.”
Shaili Chopra is an award-winning entrepreneur who earlier set up platform for women, SheThePeople (backed by Anand Mahindra). The demand for women’s health solutions and gytree emerged from within that 20 million strong community. The virtual platform gives consumers services wrapped around the core offering of gynaecology that includes mental health support, nutrition counselling, and regular digital health checks linked to their primary needs. Patients get access to at-home lab tests curated for women and round the clock patient care and virtual check-in options.
“What Indian women need is a 360-degree approach to care, due to inter-related symptoms and outcomes. India’s current health systems do not provide that. Gytree.com offers a patient-centric team to bridge this gap across all life stages, from menstruation to menopause,” says Chopra.
“At Gytree we have several benefits for women seeking such support. They not only get access from anywhere, anytime, but are also able to discuss personal and intimate health details in a safe and discreet environment”, she added.
