TERN Group, a global talent mobility platform for healthcare professionals, has raised $24 million in Series A funding led by UK-based Notion Capital. The round also saw participation from RTP Global, LocalGlobe, EQ2 Ventures, Leo Capital, and existing backers such as Presight, Tom Stafford (DST Global Co-founder), and senior healthcare policymakers. This brings the company’s total funding to $33 million.
Building a Global Healthcare Workforce
Founded by Avinav Nigam and Krishna Ramkumar, former executives at Urban Company and Cars24, TERN helps Indian nurses and care workers secure global career opportunities through transparent recruitment, AI-led job matching, and zero recruitment fees.
Its platform integrates workforce training, credentialing, and placement, addressing both the shortage of skilled healthcare staff worldwide and the underutilization of India’s trained professionals.
Growth and Market Presence
TERN claims to have grown 10x in the past year, nearing Rs 200 crore in annualised revenue, and currently operates across 13 countries, including India, the UK, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. More than 650,000 healthcare professionals are registered on its platform.
The company has also partnered with NSDC, TNAI, and multiple state governments to expand workforce training and compliance support.
Strategic Focus Ahead
The fresh capital will be used to expand into new geographies, strengthen its AI-powered Clinical Workforce platform, and scale training programs for global healthcare workers.
Competitive Landscape
TERN competes with established global healthcare staffing and mobility companies like AMN Healthcare and MedPro International, but differentiates with a tech-first, transparent, and zero-cost approach.
Final Take
By aligning India’s growing nursing workforce with international healthcare demand, TERN is positioning itself as a bridge between emerging talent pools and global care ecosystems.
