Global HealthX, the healthcare and life sciences innovation hub under the Global University Foundation, has crossed $15 million in investments across healthcare and life sciences startups, as well as studio-built ventures, over the past two years.
Operating at the intersection of healthcare, life sciences, and technology, Global HealthX brings together a venture studio, strategic investments, and market-access partnerships within a single, integrated model. The platform aims to address structural gaps in India’s healthcare ecosystem, particularly in access, affordability, and continuity of care.
The most recent cohort includes five startups — TapHealth, Wellytics, Monitra Health, Merry Health, and Avika — working across AI-led chronic care, cardiac monitoring, emergency response, genomics-driven precision medicine, and VR-based mental health therapy.
The Hyderabad-based firm typically invests between $250,000 and $500,000 per company, with flexibility for follow-on investments from pre-seed to Series A and beyond, depending on scale and impact potential.
Looking ahead, Global HealthX plans to deploy $8–10 million in 2026 across 10 additional startups spanning healthcare and life sciences, reinforcing its commitment to building long-term healthcare infrastructure in India while enabling the right market access.
Led by Ravindranath Kancherla, Global HealthX (GHX) is a healthcare and life sciences venture studio, accelerator, and investment fund focused on innovation, R&D, and startup acceleration in India. Operating as the innovation arm of the Global Institute for Research & Innovation (GIRI), it aims to make healthcare more accessible through technology and expert mentorship.
