Jobizo, which connects healthcare institutions with pre-verified professionals, raises Rs 12 crore

Healthtech HR platform Jobizo has raised Rs 12 crore in a pre-Series A funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, a Gurugram-based angel investment firm, along with Alkemi Ventures.

The startup will use the raised funds to accelerate product innovation, scale marketing efforts, bolster team strength, and support working capital needs.

Founded in December 2021 by Naveen Trehan and Avishek Agarwal, Jobizo said it is focused on addressing critical gaps in healthcare staffing from urgent short-term hiring and undertrained professionals to system-wide inefficiencies. Its online platform leverages smart technology to connect healthcare institutions with pre-verified professionals for both temporary and permanent roles.

According to the startup, Jobizo has facilitated more than 18,500 temporary job placements and over 875 permanent hires across India. It has also supported over 1,000 international placements and maintains a verified pool of more than 60,000 healthcare professionals.

"This round gives us the fuel to deepen our technology stack and expand across both domestic and international markets," says Avishek Agarwal, who is also the CEO of the company. "We are laser-focused on bridging the global healthcare skills gap while offering flexible, meaningful job opportunities. Strengthening our core team and launching in more cities will be a key part of our growth roadmap."

Jobizo differentiates itself through its AI-enabled, real-time job-matching technology, which it claims enables faster and more precise placement of healthcare professionals. The platform currently offers coverage across India, including locum roles in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru, as well as permanent positions in multiple cities. Internationally, Jobizo operates a recruitment network spanning more than 41 countries, including the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Kenya, and Nepal.

The Indian healthcare hiring market is projected to reach $6.38–$12.76 billion by 2030, driven by rising demand, government reforms, and private investments. Globally, the market is poised to hit $62–$65 billion, fueled by aging populations, chronic disease burdens, and structural healthcare reforms.

Vinay Bansal, Founder, Inflection Point Ventures, said, “Healthcare is an extremely important segment, and at the heart of it are people. Hence, it goes without saying, how crucial it is that the right people are hired for the job. However, the hiring process tends to be long, arduous and unreliable. Currently, healthcare is facing a major manpower crunch. It is reflected in the shortage and mismatch of healthcare talent. Jobizo is bridging the gap between healthcare and qualified professionals by making hiring faster, more flexible and digital thus solving multiple pain points across the healthcare employment ecosystem.”
