Bengaluru-based fertility care startup Arva Health has announced that it has raised $1 million in a pre-seed funding round led by All In Capital, with participation from iSeed, Bharath Founders Fund, and Galaxy.
Founded by Dipalie Bajaj and Nidhi Panchmal, Arva Health said that fertility care in India is largely fragmented, expensive, and weighed down by stigma.
The startup is redefining fertility care by integrating expert medical services, diagnostics, and personalized support under one roof.
“We are not in the business of diagnosing infertility but in the business of helping people have babies. By improving access and experience, we can dramatically improve outcomes for millions of people,” said Dipalie Bajaj, co-founder and CEO of Arva Health.
Offering patient-first reproductive care
Unlike traditional fertility centers, Arva Health offers comprehensive, patient-first reproductive care. The startup provides at-home fertility testing, expert consultations, IVF, egg freezing, and fertility coaching, supporting individuals and couples at various stages of their fertility journey.
Its first flagship clinic in Whitefield, Bengaluru will provide fertility testing, consultations, egg freezing, and IVF in a modern, judgment-free setting, the release notes.
“Fertility care needs a rebrand. Too often, people feel lost, rushed, or judged in this process. We are building clinics that put patients first—where they feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way. Whether they are exploring their options, preserving their fertility, or ready to start a family, Arva is a place they can trust,” said Nidhi Panchmal, co-founder of Arva Health.
Arva claims to have helped over 4,000 women navigate their fertility, built a 40,000-member community, and scaled at 60% month-over-month.
Focused on expansion
Arva Health plans to use the funding to launch what it claims to be India’s first network of tech-enabled fertility clinics, starting in Bengaluru. The startup aims to make reproductive care more affordable, accessible, and stigma-free.
It plans to expand to 10 locations, including Mumbai and Delhi, by 2027. Arva also intends to introduce men’s fertility services and develop a digital platform for continuous fertility support.
“We invested in Arva Health because infertility is becoming a huge problem in India and Arva is solving the overlooked but crucial pre-IVF aspects of fertility care that can make all the difference for patients. They start from fertility testing and emphasise on egg freezing and pre-conception care that help couples explore all options before considering more invasive treatments," said Kushal Bhagia, Founder, All In Capital.
"Arva Health represents the future of reproductive care tailored to contemporary women and couples- delivering healthcare that today's patients deserve,” Bhagia added.
