Sukino, a healthcare company that provides medical care outside hospitals, has raised $31 million in Series B funding. The funding round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from Zerodha’s Rainmatter.
The company will use this money to grow its business by opening 22 new centres over the next two years in different locations.
Chief executive Rajinish Menon said “With this milestone, we are one step closer to reimagining how India heals after serious illness, making world-class rehabilitative care as accessible and accepted as hospital care itself. Our vision is to build an institution where patients and their families can count on structured, compassionate recovery support that restores not just health, but dignity and independence.”
Vishal Gupta, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners said “we’re thrilled to be partnering with Rajinish,Shalini and team. Their focus on protocol driven, empathy-first support ensures high quality care to patients at a tough and vulnerable point in their lives. Our belief in Sukino is rooted in our conviction that high quality healthcare, especially in the single speciality space,will lead to better clinical care and outcomes for Indian consumers.”
Nitin Kamath, CEO of Rainmatter said “Most patients in India get medical attention for surgeries in hospitals. But there is a greater need for continued care and support once they get discharged from hospitals especially for critical patients. Sukino is solving a real problem here by bridging the gap between hospital discharge and full recovery. Rajinish, Shalini and the team have been delivering care continuity to patients since 2016 across different cities and diverse set of patients. Building great businesses that also drives meaningful outcomes takes time, which is why we are glad to support Sukino through Rainmatter Health for the next phase of the journey where they continue to build meaningfully”.
Sukino was founded in 2016 by Rajinish and Shalini Menon and is based in Bengaluru.
The company provides rehabilitation and home-based care for patients with long-term illnesses, offering specialised services beyond regular hospital treatment.
Sukino currently operates more than 850 beds across 11 centres in Bengaluru, Kochi, and Coimbatore. The company is already profitable overall.
Its centres are placed in locations between major hospitals and residential areas, making them easy for patients to reach.
Although Sukino mainly treats stroke patients, it also provides rehabilitation care for people with neurological, orthopaedic, and cancer-related conditions.
