Virohan, a healthcare education startup, has raised ₹65 crore ($7.5 million) as part of its ongoing Series B funding round, led by Japanese HR services firm Mynavi Corporation.
The round also saw participation from existing investors Blume Ventures, Bharat Inclusive Technologies Seed Fund and Rebright Partners.
The fresh funds raised will be used to accelerate Virohan’s path to profitability through product innovation, operational efficiencies and strategic hiring.
Founded in 2018 by Kunaal Dudeja, Nalin Saluja, and Archit Jayaswal, Virohan operates as an education-to-industry partner in the healthcare sector, working closely with higher education institutions to deliver undergraduate programs. These programs span disciplines such as Optometry, Medical Lab Technology, Operating Theatre Technology, Physiotherapy, Radiology, Nursing, and Healthcare Management.
Virohan currently partners with universities including UPES in Dehradun, BBD University in Lucknow, CMR University in Bengaluru, Assam Don Bosco University in Guwahati, MIT University in Shillong, G.H. Raisoni University in Nagpur and Pune, and Silver Oak University in Ahmedabad. On the industry side, it collaborates with healthcare organisations such as Lenskart, Medanta, Healthians, and Dr. Lal PathLabs.
The company has also partnered with over 20 higher education institutions, trained more than 13,000 learners, and worked with 2,000+ healthcare employers so far.
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.”
