Healthtech startup Cent has raised an undisclosed amount in funding from OneFlow Holdings and South Park Commons.
Founded by Practo founder Shashank ND along with Arpit Garg (ex- Lenskart) and Anshul Khandelwal (ex- Ola Electric), Cent is building an AI-led early disease detection platform focused on identifying serious conditions such as cancer, cardiac and metabolic diseases at early stages.
The Bengaluru-based startup operates on a direct-to-consumer model and offers scans designed to detect diseases before symptoms appear.
The company has been operational since the first quarter of FY26 and claims to have completed more than 1,500 scans so far. According to the startup, about 26% of scans identified clinically meaningful findings, while around 3–4% detected critical conditions requiring immediate medical attention.
Funding deals in the oncology segment have picked up over the past few years. Recently, cancer care startup Oncare has raised Rs 27 crore led by Sky Impact Capital. 4baseCare also raised Rs 90 crore led by Ashish Kacholia and Lashit Sanghvi.
Last year, Everhope Oncology secured $10 million in seed funding, while MOC Cancer Care & Research Centre raised $18 million in a round led by Elevation Capital. Other funded startups in the segment include ErlySign, Oncare and OneCell Diagnostics.
