Four companies are raising money to grow in very different fields. Gaming startup Matiks has secured $10 million, healthcare data company BioStack has raised $9.5 million, Clinics On Cloud has landed Rs. 120 crore, and Glance has received a strategic investment from L Catterton.

The deals range from early-stage funding to an investment whose financial terms have not been made public. Here’s what each company does and what it plans to do next.

Matiks raises $10 million for brain games

Founded in 2024 by Sudhanshu Bhatia, Mohan Kumar and Sushant Timmapur, Matiks makes mobile games based on maths, puzzles, memory and logic. Players can practice against the app or compete with other people.

General Catalyst led the $10 million pre-Series A round. Ronnie Screwvala and existing investors Info Edge Ventures, Tanglin Venture Partners and Untitled Ventures also participated. Matiks says it will use the funding to expand its platform and enter more markets as per Techcrunch.

The company has also been exploring ways for users to create games. Its aim is to make short brain challenges feel like fun competition, rather than lessons or drills. Matiks reported more than 300,000 daily users in September 2026; that figure was shared by the company.

BioStack secures $9.5 million for medical AI data

BioStack’s product is aimed at the teams building medical AI. The company connects health records that can be spread across different providers, then prepares de-identified information for research and model training. De-identified records have personal details removed or obscured.

The Y Combinator startup, co-founded by Sanat Mishra and Parth Patwa, raised $9.5 million in seed funding. Its announcement named Peak XV, Afore Capital, DCVC, Emerson Collective, SV Angel, Verdict Capital, Streamlined Ventures and Y Combinator among the investors.

As reported, BioStack plans to use the money to grow its hospital network, develop its platform and expand its engineering and research teams. The practical goal is to help medical AI developers work with fuller patient histories, rather than separate test results or notes.

Clinics On Cloud raises Rs. 120 crore

Pune-based Clinics On Cloud was founded in 2018 by Abhay Agarwal and Manashrri Agarwal. It builds health screening and primary-care facilities, including Health ATMs, mobile medical units and clinic spaces that can be set up in workplaces or other locations.

The company raised Rs. 120 crore in a Series A round backed by Dubai-based Model42, at a reported valuation of Rs. 600 crore. It plans to expand internationally, starting with the UAE, and invest in AI-supported diagnostics, research, manufacturing and its microclinic network reported The Tribune.

The idea is to bring basic checks closer to people who may not have a hospital or diagnostic centre nearby. Clinics On Cloud says it has carried out more than 12 million health screenings and has installations in over eight countries.

Glance gets backing from L Catterton

Glance, founded in 2019 by Naveen Tewari and the InMobi team, brings content and shopping experiences to mobile and connected screens. Its newer shopping platform uses AI to suggest products based on a person’s interests and preferences.

Consumer-focused investment firm L Catterton has made a strategic investment in Glance. The companies did not disclose the amount or other financial terms. L Catterton plans to support Glance’s continued expansion, with a particular focus on the US per reports.

The investment reflects a bet that AI may change how people discover products: instead of searching for a specific item, shoppers could receive tailored suggestions as they browse.

What the deals tell us

These investments back four different ways of using technology: turning puzzles into social games, preparing health data for AI research, bringing basic care to more locations, and making online shopping more personal. Each company now has funding to pursue its next stage, but the real test will be whether its services gain lasting users and customers.

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond chatbots and image generators. Two new funding stories show how Indian startups are using it to solve everyday operational problems – hiring frontline workers and connecting fragmented healthcare systems.

haf.vc has invested Rs. 3 crore in Hunar.AI, while Bengaluru-based HeyVoli has announced a $500,000 pre-seed round for its healthcare infrastructure platform. Both startups are taking on areas where manual work, disconnected data and delayed communication remain common.

Hunar.AI gets Rs. 3 crore from haf.vc

Hunar.AI was founded in 2022 by Krishna Khandelwal and Shantanu Bhattacharyya. The startup develops conversational AI tools for companies that hire and manage large frontline workforces.

Its platform uses voice calls and WhatsApp to help businesses communicate with candidates and employees in multiple languages. This is especially useful in sectors such as logistics, retail, delivery, quick commerce and services, where workers may be spread across many cities and may prefer to communicate in regional languages.

For example, a logistics company could use Hunar.AI to call job applicants, ask basic screening questions, arrange interviews, share onboarding details and send training reminders. That can reduce repetitive work for HR teams while giving applicants quicker responses.

haf.vc’s Rs. 3 crore investment will support Hunar.AI’s AI infrastructure, product development, sales and expansion into new markets. The investment is part of the startup’s broader Series A funding activity, which also included Blume Ventures and other investors as per Indianstatuptimes.

Hunar.AI competes with wider voice AI, HR technology and workforce-management platforms. Its focus on multilingual communication for frontline employees could help it stand out in India’s labour-heavy industries.

HeyVoli begins $500,000 pre-seed round for healthcare infrastructure

HeyVoli, founded in 2023, is now focused on building AI-powered infrastructure for connected healthcare. The company is led by CEO Akansha Jalan.

The startup wants to address a familiar problem in healthcare – patient information is often spread across hospitals, laboratories, clinics, devices and separate software systems. When these systems do not communicate properly, medical teams may spend time searching for records or repeating work.

HeyVoli aims to act as a connecting layer between healthcare data, workflows and systems. Its platform is designed for clinics, hospitals, labs and public-health systems. It includes tools for structured health records, data sharing, live operational visibility and workflow coordination.

According to its funding announcement, HeyVoli has kicked off a $500,000 pre-seed round. The company plans to use the capital to develop its healthcare AI solutions and begin pilot programmes at selected high-volume healthcare facilities over the next six months.

Why the funding matters

Hunar.AI is focused on the human side of business operations – helping companies reach, recruit and support workers at scale. HeyVoli is working on the system side of healthcare – helping data move securely between teams and institutions.

HeyVoli may compete with health-tech software providers, hospital-management system vendors and data-integration platforms. Its real challenge will be proving that its system can work safely with existing hospital tools while respecting patient consent and privacy.

Disha, formerly known as Curelink, has raised around $5.3 million in a Series A funding round led by General Catalyst. The round also saw participation from existing investor Elevation Capital, along with Flamel Performing Creatives Private Limited.

The company is building an AI-powered health coaching platform for Indian users who need help with diet, fitness and chronic-care support. In simple words, Disha wants to make health guidance more regular, more personal and easier to access in everyday language.

What Disha does

Disha is the consumer health coaching product built by Curelink. Curelink was founded in 2021 by Aman Singla and Divyansh Jain.

The platform offers coaching support across areas like weight loss, PCOS, thyroid, diabetes, pregnancy, postpartum recovery and other lifestyle-linked health needs. It works in Hindi, English and Hinglish, which is important because many Indians are more comfortable asking health questions in mixed or local language.

Disha says it combines AI with clinical protocols and coaching support. The idea is not to replace doctors, but to help users stay consistent with daily habits such as food choices, workouts, follow-ups and small lifestyle changes.

Funding purpose

As per reports, Disha raised Rs. 43.88 crore in this Series A round. General Catalyst invested the largest amount, while Elevation Capital also joined the round.

The fresh capital is expected to be used for working capital, AI model development, technology improvement, business expansion and general corporate needs.

This makes sense for a health coaching platform. To grow responsibly, Disha needs stronger AI systems, better user experience, more condition-specific plans and reliable coaching workflows. Health guidance is sensitive, so accuracy and safety matter as much as scale.

Why this model matters

Many people start health plans with good energy but stop after a few days. The problem is not always lack of intention. Sometimes users need reminders, food suggestions, emotional support and practical guidance that fits their normal routine.

For example, a user managing PCOS may not only need a diet chart. She may need daily meal swaps, movement reminders, sleep advice and someone to explain what to do when cravings or fatigue hit. Disha is trying to make that support available more often through AI-led coaching.

Traction and business details

Disha claims more than 70 lakh sign-ups, around 3 lakh active users and over 1.4 crore messages exchanged on the platform. Its website also says the product is built on Curelink’s clinical experience and health data.

Reports also note that Disha’s revenue doubled to Rs. 4.91 crore in FY25 from Rs. 2.47 crore in FY24, while losses narrowed to Rs. 4.45 crore. These are still early-stage numbers, but they show that the company is moving from pure product-building toward a more serious business phase.

Competitors and market view

Disha competes in a growing healthtech space where users already see options from companies like Healthify, Fitterfly, Ultrahuman, Sugar.fit and other digital wellness and chronic-care platforms.

Its edge may come from language-first coaching, AI-led personalization and India-specific health behaviour. But the real test will be trust. Users will stay only if the advice feels useful, safe and practical.
