Overview

DocsApp operates an online doctor consultation platform and merged with digital consumer health business MediBuddy in a mixed cash-and-equity deal while continuing to run as a separate entity. The combined entity has raised a $20 million Series B to bolster doctor supply, patient reach, product and technology and expand its direct-to-consumer business. DocsApp was founded in 2015 by Satish Kannan and D Enbasekar and previously acquired patient-doctor engagement platform DocWise in August 2019. Post-merger the entity projects a customer base of three crores and a provider network of about 90,000 doctors, 7,000 hospitals, 3,000 diagnostic centres and 2,500 pharmacies. The company declined to disclose the ultimate holding-company arrangement pending completion of formalities. Bessemer is a common investor across the merged businesses.
