Healthcare edtech startup Virohan has raised Rs 65 crore ($7.5 million) as part of its ongoing Series B funding round led by Mynavi Corporation. The round also saw participation from existing investors, including Blume Ventures, Bharat Inclusive Technologies Seed Fund, and Rebright Partners.

Founded in 2018, Virohan enables universities such as UPES (Dehradun), BBD University (Lucknow), CMR University (Bengaluru), Assam Don Bosco University (Guwahati), MIT University (Shillong), G.H. Raisoni University (Nagpur and Pune), Silver Oak University (Ahmedabad), and more to deliver what it calls best-in-class undergraduate programs in allied healthcare, nursing, and healthcare management.

The startup claims that it works closely with top healthcare organizations including Lenskart, Medanta, Healthians, Dr. Lal PathLabs, and others.

]Kunaal Dudeja, CEO of Virohan, said: “The healthcare system runs on the strength of skilled professionals, yet millions of roles remain unfilled due to broken pathways between education and employment. At Virohan, our mission is to close this gap at scale as an industry partner to higher education institutions...By 2030, we aim to impact one million learners and become the backbone of the allied healthcare workforce, in India and abroad.”

Hidekazu Ito, Managing Director at Mynavi India, said, “The demand for skilled healthcare professionals in India and across the globe is growing at an unprecedented pace and Virohan’s model - bringing together technology, industry-aligned education and strong institutional partnerships - has the potential to redefine how healthcare education is delivered at scale. We at Mynavi have grown with a purpose-driven culture, supporting people’s turning points and career transitions through our human resources businesses in the Japanese market. In the Indian context, we are focusing on addressing critical challenges in the human resource and education sectors.”
