Healthcare-focused fintech startup Care.fi has raised Rs 8 crore in debt capital, marking a major milestone for the Gurugram-based company.
The funding round saw contributions of Rs 5 crore from Wint Wealth and Rs 3 crore in impact debt capital from Caspian. This follows a previous capital infusion of $2 million (Rs 16 crore) from Trifecta Capital and Rs 5 crore from UC Inclusive Credit just three months prior.
According to a company press release, the new funding will be used to strengthen Care.fi’s market presence and further develop its healthcare fintech solutions, with a focus on optimizing hospital management operations.

Competitors and Market Position
Care.fi operates in a competitive landscape, with key players like CarePay, SaveIn, and Bajaj Finserv also offering healthcare financing solutions. However, with its unique focus on bridging financial gaps for healthcare providers and optimizing hospital management, Care.fi is positioning itself as a key player in the healthcare fintech space.
With this new round of funding, Care.fi aims to continue innovating and expanding its services, providing much-needed financial support to healthcare providers while ensuring efficient, patient-centered care.
