Healthcare startup Janani.life has raised $2.2 million in growth capital from a group of investors including the global accelerator Y Combinator (YC), Olive Tree Capital, and Good Water Capital. Janani.life is part of YC’s current Winter batch (W22) and is a part of the cohort that will be presenting in the accelerator’s upcoming demo day on March 29 & 30.

Soma Capital, Brightlane VC, NB Ventures along with some prominent angel investors like D S Brar, Chairman GVK life science and former President of Ranbaxy, and Avendus Capital’s founder Gaurav Deepak, also backed Janani.

Last year, comany raised a seed round of around $1.5 million in a round led by Venture Catalysts, Inflection Point Ventures, and Apollo Hospitals. Founded in October 2020, it aims to make the process of infertility treatment and assisted fertilisation easier and more affordable for the masses with the use of technologies like‘ At Home Semen’ testing.

On the fundraising, Nilay Mehrotra, Co-founder, Janani said, “Infertility and  sexual disorders is a growing problem in India, and in the name of solution what is available is just a few brands who sell generic drugs and pills. At Janani, we get to the root cause of the problem through our proprietary diagnostic and treatment plans created with the help of expert doctors, and this round funding validates the market’s need for an innovative product.”
