New Delhi, April 4 (IANS): Homegrown healthtech startup Curelo on Thursday said that it secured a significant boost with a strategic investment from Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer.

The entire round consists of Rs 10 crore, where apart from Iyer, the startup got investments from IIMA Ventures, renowned industry experts like Tarun Katial (Founder of Zee 5) and family offices in the US.

"We are delighted to welcome Shreyas Iyer as an investor in Curelo. This collaboration positions us as a trusted brand with accelerated growth and reinforces our commitment to serving the evolving needs of our users," Dr Arpit Jayswal, Curelo’s Founder and CEO, said in a statement.

Founded in 2022, Curelo connects patients with diagnostic labs, offering at-home blood sample collection and timely reports.

"I firmly believe that health and fitness should constitute a key part in everyone’s daily routine which resonates with Curelo’s commitment to provide accessible and efficient services," Iyer said.
