Eka Care (legally operating as Orbi Health Private Limited) is a prominent Indian healthtech startup focused on building a digitally enabled and connected healthcare ecosystem. Founded in December 2020 by serial entrepreneurs Vikalp Sahni and Deepak Tuli, who previously co-founded the travel platform Goibibo, the company is headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The concept for Eka Care emerged from Sahni’s foundational work on India's Aarogya Setu COVID-19 contact-tracing application, which highlighted a critical need for a centralized, secure personal health records repository within the country's fragmented healthcare system. The platform operates a dual-sided ecosystem designed to streamline interactions and data flow between healthcare providers, hospitals, developers, and patients. For medical practitioners, the company offers the Eka Doctor Tool and Eka EMR, which serve as a comprehensive clinic operating system. This software helps doctors manage patient queues, coordinate in-clinic or teleconsultation visits, handle integrated billing, and access longitudinal medical histories. A defining component of their technology stack is EkaScribe, an AI-powered medical scribe driven by their proprietary Large Language Model, Parrotlet, and integrated with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Transcribe. This feature allows doctors to dictate consultations naturally in over 15 languages, automatically converting speech into structured electronic medical records and digital prescriptions in under 30 seconds. This automation significantly reduces administrative burdens, allowing doctors to maximize patient interaction time. For consumers, the Eka Patient App functions as a personal health record manager where families can create multiple health profiles, track vital signs, use an AI-based symptom checker, and securely store documents like vaccination charts, lab reports, and prescriptions via manual uploads, WhatsApp, or Gmail syncing. Eka Care was the first healthtech platform in India to integrate with the CoWIN app for COVID-19 vaccination bookings. Furthermore, the ecosystem is fully compliant with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), supporting the creation of Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHA) and aligning with the Unique Health Interface (UHI) to establish a secure national health data exchange. Financially, Eka Care operates as a private entity and has raised approximately $19.5 million in total venture capital funding. Its major investment milestone occurred in July 2022 with a $15 million Series A funding round led by Hummingbird Ventures, with active participation from notable institutional investors including 3one4 Capital, Mirae Asset Global Investments, Verlinvest, Aditya Birla Ventures, PeerCapital, and angel investor Binny Bansal. The company employs between 100 and 200 professionals and has scaled rapidly to manage over 30 million digital health records, onboarding more than 5,000 doctors onto its clinical platform to address chronic and non-communicable disease management across India.
