Healthcare tech startup Twin Health said Thursday that it has raised $ 140 million (approximately ₹ 1000 crore) in Series C funds from Sequoia Capital India, ICONIQ Capital, Perceptive Advisors, Corner Ventures, LTS Investments, Helena and Sofina.
The startup will use the funds to expand its presence in the Indian and US markets.
The three-year startup’s flagship offering, Whole Body Digital Twin, helps reverse and prevent chronic metabolic diseases, while improving energy and physical health.
The Whole Body Digital Twin offering provides nutrition, sleep, activity and meditative breathing guidance to patients and their physicians to safely reverse and prevent a variety of chronic metabolic diseases, the company said.
“Each of us has a gifted body. Given a chance, it can heal itself. Our full-body digital twin lives by your side, giving you a simple and clear view of your beautifully complex biology, continually learning about your metabolism and telling you what you can do to improve your health in the moment, “said Jahangir Mohammed, founder and CEO of Twin Health.
The startup’s solution is also being leveraged to prevent the main effects of chronic metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
India has more than 70 million people suffering from type 2 diabetes, the second highest in the world. By 2045, this is expected to grow to 134 million people, according to health estimates.
“Many years at Sequoia India have taught me that real change and real value are created by partnering with missionary founders who want to solve tough problems to make the world a better place. Twin Health is building an innovative solution to transform healthcare. Jahangir’s bold vision to reverse chronic metabolic diseases in a personalized way will pioneer a new wave of health technology innovations for India and the world, “said Mohit Bhatnagar, CEO of Sequoia India.
