CureBay
Invested 2022

CureBay is a digital healthcare platform that aims to transform the patient experience in remote locations of India by providing affordable and high-quality primary healthcare through a hybrid model – a network of physical eClinics, powered by a robust technology platform. CureBay has built a powerful suite of services that have hitherto been beyond the reach of most rural Indians. 

Access to quality primary healthcare in close proximity and at affordable prices is a pronounced pain point for most of rural India. This customer spends a significant portion of total household income on healthcare. Costs can skyrocket during a crisis and there is no safety net as insurance penetration is less than 1% in rural India. The customer is averse to traveling for treatment in urban areas owing to the resultant loss of income, and often postpones doctor visits for as long as possible. Delays in diagnosis and subsequent treatment worsen health outcomes and make treatments even more expensive. 

CureBay’s healthcare fulfillment model brings holistic patient care and convenience to rural patients’ doorsteps by enabling doctor consultation, and facilitating medicine purchase and pathology tests in the eClinic. Patients also have access to a network of certified partner labs as well as hospitals.
