In a move that’s reigniting confidence in India’s edtech space, Virohan, a healthcare-focussed skilling platform, is reportedly in the final stages of raising ₹60–70 crore ($7–8 million) from global venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP).
This fresh investment will value Virohan at around $70–80 million, as the company is said to be diluting approximately 10% of its equity. While neither BVP nor Virohan has officially confirmed the deal, reliable sources indicate it’s nearly closed.
Founded by Kunaal Dudeja, Nalin Saluja, and Archit Jayaswal, Virohan provides skill development and certification courses for healthcare professionals, especially in allied health roles — a segment witnessing rapid demand post-pandemic.
The timing of this fundraise is crucial. Over the past two years, Indian edtech has faced setbacks with major players like Byju’s and Unacademy cutting costs and valuations. But startups like PhysicsWallah, Eruditus, UpGrad, Leap Scholar, and Bhanzu have shown that investor trust in quality edtech is far from over.
Virohan’s growth and sharp focus on outcome-driven education have set it apart. The brand combines strong employability results with a tech-enabled platform that delivers practical healthcare training — helping fill India’s critical medical staffing gaps.
Meanwhile, Bessemer Venture Partners has been actively investing across AI, consumer tech, and enterprise solutions. The firm recently brought on board Pankaj Mitra (ex-Cisco and Infosys) to lead its AI and enterprise tech bets in India — further proving its bullish outlook on high-impact startups.
As edtech funding makes a slow but steady return, Virohan stands out as a symbol of resilience, relevance, and rising investor confidence in the sector’s next chapter.
