Fertility Care Start-Up Arva Health Raises $1 Million in Pre-Seed Funding Round

Fertility care start-up Arva Health has raised $1 million in pre-Seed funding, led various investors including All In Capital, iSeed, Bharath Founders Fund, and Galaxy. Currently, fertility care in India islargely fragmented, expensive, and weighed down by stigma.

However, Arva Health is creating a new standard in fertility care with its expert medical care, diagnostics, and personalised support under one roof. The start-up is founded by Dipalie Bajaj, and Nidhi Panchmal. Its first flagship clinic in Bengaluru’s Whitefield will provide fertility testing, consultations, egg freezing, and IVF in a modern setting.

“We are not in the business of diagnosing infertility but in the business of helping people have babies. By improving access and experience, we can dramatically improve outcomes for millions of people,” said Dipalie Bajaj, co-founder and CEO of Arva Health.

The start-up, in an official statement, claims that the funding will fuel the launch of India’s first network of tech-enabled fertility clinics, beginning in Bengaluru. The aim is to make reproductive care affordable, accessible, and free from stigma.

All In Capital founder Kushal Bhagia said, “We invested in Arva Health because infertility is becoming a huge problem in India. We believe that Arva Health represents the future of reproductive care tailored to contemporary women and couples-delivering healthcare that today’s patients deserve.”

Arva’s Fertility Care Model

Unlike traditional fertility centers, Arva offers patient-first reproductive care. From at-home fertility testing and expert consultations to IVF, egg freezing, and fertility coaching, the start-up supports individual and couples at every stage of their fertility journey.

Arva Health cofounder Nidhi Panchmal believes that fertility care in India need a rebrand because people feel lost, rushed, or judged in this process. “We are building clinics that put patients first --- where they feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.”

Since its launch last year, Arva has helped over 4,000 women navigate their fertility, built a 40,000-member community, and scaled at 60% month-over-month. The healthcare start-up plans to open clinics in ten locations, including Mumbai and Delhi, by 2027. Additionally, the company intends to expand into men's fertility services and develop a digital platform to offer continuous support for fertility.
