Healthtech platform, based in Hyderabad, Hera has announced that it has secured $1 million in seed round from angel investors.
Speaking on the announcement, founder Vaishnavi Raju commented, ”There is a huge, unaddressed gap in women’s healthcare in India. If you look at the numbers, you see it — 500 million+ women, 50 percent of those women are between the age group of 18-35, which is the phase when a woman, along with everything else, is dealing with periods, possibly marriage, sexual intimacy, pregnancy, post-partum, and on her way to menopause. But nobody is looking at a woman as a whole. Just parts of her, and mostly just concentrating on periods. We want to change that.”
She further said, “Hera is designed for women and by women, and we are creating products as well as the content that women in India need. We hope to build a community that is one million plus women strong. We want to be the most trusted brand when it comes to women’s health in India.”
