Company profile
researched Aug 2026Eka Care, operated by Orbi Health Private Limited, builds a digital health platform in India that spans both consumers and healthcare providers. On the consumer side, its Personal Health Record (PHR) app lets users store prescriptions, lab and scan reports, vaccination certificates and children's development milestones, create profiles for each family member, and share records with doctors. The app tracks vitals such as blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, offers glucose, blood pressure and menstrual cycle trackers, measures heart rate using the smartphone camera, and syncs with Health Connect and Google Fit. Records can be imported through Gmail integration, WhatsApp uploads or photographs.
For clinicians, the company sells a clinic management and electronic medical record suite. Current products include EkaScribe, an AI voice-to-prescription documentation tool that generates clinical notes and supports 15+ Indian languages; Eka EMR for patient queues, digital prescriptions and video or in-person consultations; a medical records analyser that converts documents into structured dashboards; an AI clinical decision support system providing drug-interaction and investigation prompts within the documentation workflow; conversational voice and chat agents for symptom checks, appointment booking and FAQs; and a developer portal with health APIs. ABDM Connect lets providers verify patients via ABHA and exchange records with consent across India's interoperable digital health network.
The platform is integrated with India's national digital health infrastructure β ABDM/NDHM, ABHA, the Unified Health Interface and CoWIN β and the site lists NHA approval, FHIR compliance and ABDM compliance, along with AWS and Google partner designations.
Founding story
Founded in December 2020 by Vikalp Sahni and Deepak Tuli, who had previously co-founded travel booking platform Goibibo; Sahni had also worked on India's Aarogya Setu contact-tracing app. Abhishek Begerhotta later joined as investor and advisor, and a company post also names him among the founders. The stated aim was to build a technology backbone for creating and managing a health profile for every Indian.
Business model
Business-to-business-and-consumer platform: a free-to-download consumer PHR app (with ads and in-app purchases listed on Google Play) alongside paid software subscriptions for doctors and clinics, plus APIs for third-party health-tech developers.
At the time of the Series A the company operated a subscription model, selling subscriptions to doctors for connecting with patients and storing records digitally, and said part of the round would fund monetization experiments including potential payment by insurers. The Android listing shows advertising and in-app purchases.
Traction
The website reports 33,000+ clinics and hospitals onboarded, 90,000+ doctors, 20 million+ ABHAs created, 140 million+ records managed, 8 million+ MedAssist bot conversations and 1 million+ EkaScribe sessions. The Android app lists more than 10 million downloads and was shortlisted by Google Play as an 'Essential App' for Wellness. At the 2022 Series A the company cited over 30 million registered users, 30 million health records, 1.6 million ABHAs and about 5,000 doctors, with roughly half a million chronic patients storing records.
Latest developments
Recent company communications describe an AI-native positioning: an ambient healthcare platform combining EkaScribe voice-to-prescription, Eka EMR, a clinical decision support system, conversational patient-engagement agents and clinic add-ons bundling AI scribe, WhatsApp, payments and lab integration into one workflow, plus benchmark releases for its Parrotlet models and a reference to the India AI Summit 2026.
βΈFull profile β market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Positions itself as a horizontal platform built on India's ABDM/UHI rails serving both patients and providers. In 2022 it claimed to be the largest repository of health records and vitals in India and the first private platform approved by ABDM for ABHA card creation. Coverage names DRiefcase, Docon and Bajaj Finserv Health as other companies building on UHI.
Serves both patients and clinicians on one platform rather than treating health as a transactional interaction, layers ambient AI documentation and clinical decision support onto longitudinal, interoperable records, and builds directly on India's national digital health rails (ABHA, UHI, ABDM) with FHIR compliance and interoperability with other hospital EMRs.
Technology
A proprietary tech stack including a medical knowledge graph, multimodal AI engine, speech recognition for voice-to-prescription documentation, structured extraction from lab reports, camera-based heart rate estimation, and FHIR-compliant interoperability with ABDM. Security measures described include monthly external penetration testing and an internal security and anonymization team; the company states it does not sell user data or use it for advertising.
Go-to-market
Direct onboarding of doctors and clinics with hands-on staff training and support, a consumer mobile app distributed through app stores, government-ecosystem integrations (ABHA creation, CoWIN, ABDM record exchange) that drive consumer sign-ups, WhatsApp-based patient communication, Google Business Profile tools for clinic visibility, and a developer portal/API channel.
Individual health consumers and families in India managing medical records and vitals; doctors, clinics and hospitals (including single-practitioner and multi-specialty practices) seeking EMR, prescription and patient-communication tools; and developers building health applications on its APIs.
Geography
Headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, with a focus on the Indian market; customer testimonials come from clinics and hospitals in Hyderabad, Chhattisgarh, Nagpur, Bangalore and Ghaziabad.
History
The company began as a record-keeping app for doctors and patients. In January 2021 it raised $4.5 million in seed funding. During 2021 it obtained Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission approval to enable ABHA creation and Unified Health Interface integration, and integrated CoWIN for vaccination slot booking and certificate storage. In July 2022 it announced a $15 million Series A led by Hummingbird Ventures. It has since expanded from personal records into an AI-centred provider suite covering ambient documentation (EkaScribe), EMR, clinical decision support and developer APIs.
Risks & controversies
Handling sensitive personal health data creates security and privacy exposure; the company acknowledges frequent attack attempts against systems its team has previously operated and relies on external penetration testing. The app's Play Store listing states it may share personal info and health and fitness data with third parties and collect location and other categories. The consumer app is explicitly not a medical device and is not intended for diagnosis or treatment. Monetization was still being tested as of the Series A, and the business depends on continued alignment with government digital-health programmes such as ABDM and CoWIN.
