Praan Health Secures INR 8.5 Cr Seed Funding to Transform Chronic Care
Praan Health Raises INR 8.5 Crore Seed Funding Led by Rainmatter Investments and Participation from WEH Ventures to Redefine Chronic Care for India’s Ageing Parents
India, 12th November, 2025: Praan Health, a lifestyle-first chronic care platform for parents aged 50 and above, has raised INR 8.5 crore in seed funding to scale its mission of delivering preventive chronic care to Indian families. The round was led by Rainmatter Investments, with participation from WEH Ventures and angel investors including Alakh Pandey, Prateek Maheshwari (PhysicsWallah), and Arjun Vaidya.
Founded in 2024 by Navneeth Ramprasad, a former product leader at Netflix and Meta, Praan Health addresses a pressing challenge faced by millions of Indians: caring for ageing parents from a distance. With over 90% of Indians above 60 affected by lifestyle-related chronic conditions, care remains largely fragmented and hospital-driven. Praan offers families a structured, science-backed, lifestyle-first system that empowers parents to regain strength, mobility, and control over their health.
Expansion Plans with New Funding
The fresh capital will help Praan enhance its product and technology capabilities, expand its clinical and coaching teams, and widen its service delivery across India. The company recently launched a mobile app that enables young adults to manage their parents’ health journeys — from uploading blood tests and tracking risk scores to monitoring weekly progress and scheduling doctor consultations. Additionally, Praan plans to establish first-of-its-kind health centres in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi-NCR.
Comprehensive, Personalized Care
Praan combines physician supervision, clinical nutrition, and one-on-one strength training to deliver personalized 90-, 180-, and 365-day programmes for 25+ chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, osteoporosis, and post-surgery recovery. In under a year, the platform has supported over 1,500 families through 50,000+ one-on-one sessions, powered by a 75+ member team of physicians, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and certified strength coaches.
Founder’s Perspective
“Healthcare for our parents shouldn’t start at the hospital it should start at home,” said Navneeth Ramprasad, Founder and CEO, Praan Health. “Praan transforms chronic care into daily habits of movement, strength, and evidence-based nutrition. This funding will allow us to deepen our clinical and tech capabilities, scale our programmes nationwide, and make preventive care accessible to every household. While our end users are parents, children can stay informed and actively support their parents’ health journey.”
Investor Endorsements
Nithin Kamath, CEO of Rainmatter & Zerodha, said, “With 150 million people over 60 in India, there is a pressing need for specialised eldercare. Praan brings impact at scale, providing a practical solution to a critical challenge.”
Rohit Krishna, Partner at WEH Ventures, added, “Praan solves a real problem faced by working Indians caring for ageing parents. The team combines medical depth with practical day-to-day solutions, making long-term health management simple, personal, and accessible.”
Market Context
India’s healthcare is shifting beyond hospitals toward homes. The digital health market, valued at USD 14.5 billion in 2024, is projected to cross USD 106 billion by 2033. Globally, the chronic disease management market is expected to reach USD 20.8 billion by 2034. Platforms like Praan are bridging the gap by combining science, structure, and compassion to enable children to actively manage their parents’ health at home.
