An integrated, comprehensive and exclusive B2B2E (business to business to enterprise) health benefits and wellness platform, ekincare works to solve health benefits problems making it a complete ecosystem with a unique model integrating healthcare, tech and insurance. Healthtech had a tipping point during the pandemic. Today, the sector has a massive opportunity towards making healthcare more inclusive and accessible. Corporates have made health and wellness initiatives their board-level priorities. The ultimate beneficiary is the end consumer and in the case of B2B (business to business), it is the employees and their dependents.

Ekincare, an artificial intelligence-based healthcare startup, has raised $3.6 million (Rs 25.81 crore at current exchange rates) in a Series A funding round led by a new investor. The latest funding takes the total capital that ekincare, operated by Aayuv Technologies Pvt. Ltd, has raised so far to $5.6 million, the company said in a statement on Wednesday. It didn't disclose the name of the new investor. Other investors that participated in the funding round include existing investors such as venture capital firm Venture East, Eight Roads Ventures and Hyderabad-based Touchstone Equities.
