Startup Virohan raises $3 mn, says will train million paramedics by 2025

Healthcare startup Virohan, which says it is the first company in India to give vocational training for paramedics, has raised additional funding from Rebright Partners to top up its Series A round to $3 million.

Virohan said it will use the funds to scale up more than 160 campuses in India and strengthen the country’s healthcare by creating a allied workforce in the Covid-19 crisis. It will also be using the funding to improve its proprietary Blended Learning Technology platform, a virtual reality-based practical training. The platform includes on-demand online training through bite sized videos and real time quizzes and gamification. This enables its partner colleges and students to switch from in classroom to online learning.
