Bengaluru-based Healthify (formerly HealthifyMe), a prominent health and wellness platform, has closed a significant funding round of over ₹378 crore to drive its expansion into the US and advance its AI capabilities. The round was led by Healthify’s existing investors Khosla Ventures and LeapFrog Investments, with new participation from Claypond Capital. This investment marks a pivotal moment for the company as it aims to bring its proven model of AI-driven health guidance to the international stage.
Expanding AI for Personalized Health Solutions
Healthify has established itself as one of India’s leading health and fitness platforms, serving over 40 million users across 300+ cities with support from more than 600 human coaches. The company integrates AI technology with human coaching, offering personalized advice on nutrition, fitness, and wellness. With this funding, Healthify plans to enhance its AI-driven coach, enabling it to understand common foods, fitness habits, and even local dialects. This culturally tailored AI will ensure that users receive relevant, personalized health insights regardless of their geographic location.
This AI expansion is integral to Healthify’s approach as it enters the US market, the world’s largest health and fitness sector. The company has already tested its AI capabilities in India through alpha trials and reports high engagement and improved outcomes, positioning Healthify for a successful launch in the US.
CEO’s Vision for Health Accessibility
Tushar Vashisht, co-founder and CEO of Healthify, shared his excitement about the US expansion: “After delivering outcomes at scale in India with our unique blend of AI and human coaching, we’re thrilled to bring this approach to the US,” Vashisht said. He highlighted Healthify’s mission to make high-quality health coaching accessible and affordable, stating, “Everyone is empowered to make better choices around food and fitness — regardless of their ability to pay.”
Growth Amidst Recent Restructuring
This announcement follows a restructuring earlier in the year that saw the company reduce its workforce by around 30% in a strategic move toward profitability within its India operations. While the restructuring aimed to streamline resources and increase operational efficiency, Healthify is now positioned to leverage its strengthened foundation to achieve global scalability.
With new funding, Healthify is set to combine AI and human expertise to create impactful, affordable wellness solutions on a global scale. As digital health services continue to grow, Healthify’s innovative approach to health coaching holds promise for transforming the global wellness landscape.
