The current round of funding will be utilised to further expand to other key cities, add to the existing technology and hire new talent
Bangalore-based Vatsalya – Centre for Oral Health, a chain of dental clinics, which provides high quality International standard of healthcare delivery at a reasonable price, has secured Rs 11 crores from S-Squared Capital Investments, US in the pre-series A round of funding.
While the company provides end-to-end dental treatment at their expansive dental centres, it has also introduced home dental care services, specialising in special needs dentistry as well as focusing on preventive dentistry.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Srivats Bharadwaj, Founder & CEO, Vatsalya said, “According to a report published in the Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine, the dentist-to-population ratio is 1:10,000 in urban areas and drops drastically to 1:150,000 in rural India. These are only indications of a greater challenge that exists in India when it comes to Oral health. We believe a large part of the gap in the ecosystem can be filled by efficiently managing the supply chain and negotiating competitive pricing with dental material suppliers. This brings down the cost of treatment and helps to achieve economies of scale. Our current round of funding will be utilised to further expand to other key cities, add to the existing technology and hire new talents.”
The doctors at Vatsalya are trained to deliver home dental care and conduct complex procedures such as surgical removal of teeth, root canal therapy, laser surgeries, complete/partial denture prosthesis among others. This is ideal for those who are immobile, terminally ill as well as those who do not have the time to visit a dentist.
