OneFlow Holdings and South Park Commons back healthtech startup
Healthtech startup Cent has raised an undisclosed amount in funding from OneFlow Holdings and South Park Commons. The investment comes as interest grows in AI-driven healthcare solutions focused on early disease detection and preventive diagnostics. Cent aims to build a technology-led screening platform capable of identifying serious medical conditions before symptoms appear.
Capital to advance AI-powered early detection capabilities
The fresh funding will support the development of Cent’s AI-led diagnostic platform and expansion of its screening capabilities. The startup is focused on building advanced detection systems for critical diseases such as cancer, cardiac disorders, and metabolic conditions, enabling earlier intervention and improved patient outcomes.
Founders building direct-to-consumer preventive health platform
Founded by Practo founder Shashank ND along with Arpit Garg, formerly of Lenskart, and Anshul Khandelwal, formerly of Ola Electric, Cent operates a direct-to-consumer healthcare model. The Bengaluru-based startup offers specialised scans designed to identify diseases at early stages, even before symptoms become visible, allowing individuals to take preventive action.
Early traction and rising investment activity in oncology diagnostics
The company has been operational since the first quarter of FY26 and reports completing over 1,500 scans so far. According to Cent, approximately 26 percent of scans identified clinically meaningful findings, while 3–4 percent detected critical conditions requiring immediate medical attention. The oncology diagnostics segment has seen increasing investor interest, with startups such as Oncare, 4baseCare, Everhope Oncology, and MOC Cancer Care & Research Centre also securing funding in recent years.
