Bengaluru-based start-up Cora Health receives funding in seed round

Bengaluru-based nutrition and health foods marketplace Cora Health, has raised Rs.4.6 crore seed funding from Indian Angel Network (IAN). The round was led by angel investors Vishnuraj Kunjur, KRS Jamwal, and Ajay Upadhyaya.

The start-up will use the funds to improve its tech and engineering capabilities and expand the customer base on the platform.

Other investors who joined the round include Tholons Capital, Family Office of Dr. Apurva Parekh (‎Executive Director, Pidilite Industries Limited) and Kushagra Pant (MD, Nomura). Earlier this year, Cora Health had raised Rs.1.95 crore in a pre-seed round.

“Health needs are individualistic, and therefore, at Cora, we are building a guided marketplace with the goal of simplifying healthy living. We are helping customers choose products that suit their dietary preference, lifestyle and health goals,” Snigdha Kumar, co-founder, Cora Health.

Cora Health was launched in 2020 to improve people’s health through suitable dietary and lifestyle choices. Former Flipkart colleagues Snigdha Kumar and Shrijit Venkatesh realized that an abundance of products and information leaves customers feeling overwhelmed.

This makes it more challenging for individuals to make the right health decisions every day.
