Indian HealthTech Innovation: Oncare
Oncare is reshaping cancer care accessibility across India by operating specialized, tech-enabled oncology departments inside mid-sized, non-branded hospitals. By pooling drug procurement and standardizing clinical pathways across partner facilities, Oncare delivers chemotherapy and surgical care at 30% to 40% lower costs than traditional mega-hospital chains.
Moving aggressively into its expansion phase, the Gurugram-based startup recently raised $2.9 million in Series A funding led by Sky Impact Capital to scale its footprint into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
