In a fundraising round headed by Bessemer Venture Partners and included Zerodha’s Rainmatter, healthcare company Sukino has received $31 million.
About Sukino Healthcare and Expansion Plans
The Bengaluru-based firm was established in 2016 and provides people with chronic illnesses with long-term healthcare services. Both at-home care services and its care centers provide their services.
Chief executive Rajinish Menon told ET that Sukino intends to utilize the money mainly to increase its footprint in new areas and to add more services to its portfolio.
Expansion Across South India
Menon said, “We will utilize the funds to build and extend across South India in places like Hyderabad, Chennai, Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram, and Hubli.” “We want to add eight centers in the next fiscal year, and we already have 11 centers.”
Usually, its care facilities contain between 75 and 90 beds. Long-term acute care patients occupy 15–20% of the beds. These facilities are situated between residential areas and large hospitals.
Patient Care and Services
In addition to rehabilitation for neurological, orthopedic, and oncological disorders, its patients often need long-term care for chronic illnesses like stroke.
Sukino plans to expand by providing its patients more therapeutic options and incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into them. Menon said, “As we grow our services, we will also include AI and robots in passive treatment to make sure the patients feel emotionally involved while completing their exercises.”
🏥 Sukino Expansion & AI Integration

- New Centers: Targeting 8 additional centers across South India
- Current Centers: 11 centers operational

“Our optimism in Sukino stems from our view that superior healthcare, particularly in the single specialty area, would lead to improved clinical treatment and results for Indian customers,” said Bessemer Venture Partners partner Vishal Gupta in a prepared statement.
In India, the majority of patients get surgical care in hospitals. However, once they leave hospitals, there is a larger need for ongoing care and assistance, particularly for patients who are critically ill. By bridging the gap between hospital discharge and complete healing, Sukino is addressing a serious issue here, according to Rainmatter CEO Nitin Kamath.
