Nov 30, 2021
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India - ZenOnco.io, known as India's only Integrative Oncology healthtech platform, achieved a major milestone by raising $1.4 million in seed funding. This funding marked a crucial step in the company's mission to make cancer care more accessible and affordable with innovative Integrative Oncology solutions.
The Journey Began with Personal Loss
Co-founders Dimple Parmar and Kishan Shah, both alumni of IIM Calcutta, started ZenOnco.io with a personal connection. Dimple's motivation came from the loss of her husband to cancer, which revealed many gaps in cancer care. This led her to start the NGO Love Heals Cancer and later ZenOnco.io with Kishan, a former investment banker. Their shared goal was to save lives through a holistic approach to cancer care.
Diverse Investors Supported Their Vision
The funding round, led by Enzia Ventures and joined by Better Capital, Apollo Hospitals, Titan Capital, Dr. Arvind Kumar, and several angel investors, showed strong investor confidence in ZenOnco.io's vision. The funds were planned for expanding operations and introducing new products to improve Integrative Oncology's reach and affordability.

This includes medical treatment, diagnostic tests, affordable chemotherapy, and support for managing treatment side effects, diet, emotional wellness, and end-of-life care. The platform has a dedicated team of doctors available at all times to guide cancer patients.
Founders and Investors Shared a Common Goal
Dimple Parmar and Kishan Shah appreciated their investors' shared commitment to making a long-term impact in cancer care. Jayshree Kanther Patodi from Enzia Ventures emphasized ZenOnco.io's unique role in offering both clinical and complementary treatments, along with community support, all in one place.
