Kerala-based Preventify, healthcare startup focused on delivering standardized, high-quality preventive and chronic care in Tier-2 and Tier-3 India, has raised Rs 2 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by operator-led accelerator PedalStart.
The round also saw participation from a strong group of strategic angel investors, including Viren Shetty (Narayana Health), Jatin Kakrani (Dezy), the founders of Supertails, the founders of Agrizy, and senior leaders from India’s healthcare ecosystem.
The startup will use the raised to build its first cluster of 10 clinics, expand its chronic and lifestyle disease management programs, and strengthen its technology, diagnostics, and pharmacy integration. It aims to create a repeatable, capital-efficient model for delivering consistent healthcare outcomes across underserved semi-urban and smaller towns.
Preventify operates at the intersection of clinical protocols, technology, diagnostics, and long-term patient engagement. The startup currently operates three clinics in Kerala and has already served over 40,000 patients.
“Healthcare in Tier-2 and Tier-3 India is not a problem of access anymore-it’s a consistency and continuity problem,” said Nirmal NR, Co-founder and CEO of Preventify.
“Patients often have access to doctors, labs, and pharmacies, but the care journey is fragmented and episodic. Our focus is on building standardised, protocol-driven and affordable care models that manage patients over time, especially for chronic conditions. This funding allows us to strengthen our clinical teams, expand our clinic clusters, and invest in systems that deliver reliable outcomes at scale”.
Over the next 12–18 months, Preventify plans to scale its clinic footprint across Kerala, investing in experienced clinicians, nurses, care coordinators, and central medical teams. The startup is also strengthening its protocol-driven care pathways, subscription-based outcome tracking systems, and integrated diagnostics and pharmacy workflows to ensure consistent care quality across locations.
“Preventify is addressing one of the most critical gaps in India’s healthcare system-standardised and affordable chronic care outside metro cities,” said Manas Pal & Aditya Darolia, Co-founder, PedalStart.
“The team has shown strong execution discipline, early clinical traction, and a clear understanding of how to scale healthcare responsibly. Their cluster-based approach and focus on long-term patient outcomes align closely with how we believe sustainable healthcare businesses should be built, and we’re excited to support them as they scale”.
Beyond capital, PedalStart, the lead investor, is working closely with Preventify as an accelerator partner, supporting the team on growth strategy, operational discipline, and scalable expansion processes.
