In a major boost to India’s healthcare and insurtech space, Gurugram-based PB Healthcare Services Pvt. Ltd has raised an impressive $218 million in seed funding, backed by PB Fintech Ltd and global investor General Catalyst, among others.
The round pegs the newly incorporated healthcare venture at a valuation of $243 million, a significant figure for a company established only on 1 January 2025.
Leading the investment is PB Fintech, which has infused $62 million to acquire a 26% stake, while General Catalyst has contributed $50 million for a 20.57% stake.
The funds will primarily be directed towards setting up a 1,000-bed hospital network in the National Capital Region (NCR) and advancing the startup’s technology-led healthcare offerings.
Though PB Healthcare is a separate entity from the publicly listed PB Fintech—owner of Policybazaar and Paisabazaar—the new venture is spearheaded by Yashish Dahiya, Chairman and Group CEO of PB Fintech.
While PB Fintech is playing an incubator’s role in this initiative, Dahiya has clarified that it will not remain a long-term owner.
“Our vision is to create a truly integrated healthcare ecosystem where patients can experience frictionless, high-quality care,” Dahiya said. “The goal is to redefine the care journey for millions by building a tech-first healthcare platform that enhances trust, improves outcomes, and sets a new standard for patient experience in India.”

PB Healthcare plans to operate its own hospitals, integrate insurance and care delivery, and use analytics and technology to reduce avoidable surgeries, improve long-term outcomes, and make the treatment journey more predictable and transparent.
The company’s full-stack model will also place strong emphasis on preventive care, an area often overlooked in India’s current healthcare system.
Regulatory filings show that PB Fintech’s stake in PB Healthcare has been diluted from 100% to 32.14% following this investment round. Interestingly, Dahiya had proposed an 11% stake for PB Fintech, but the board approved a higher stake of 26%.
This high-profile seed funding announcement comes just ahead of PB Fintech’s Q4 FY25 earnings report. The company posted a 94.6% surge in profit to ₹72 crore in Q3 FY25, with revenue climbing to ₹1,292 crore, up from ₹871 crore in the same period last year.
