Their company 911 India Healthcare owns Curofy, a networking mobile app where over 200,000 “verified” doctors discuss more than 400 cases every day.

Launched in 2015, the premise of Curofy is simple. Doctors coming across unusual cases that require further opinion can post anonymous images and necessary details on the app. From its database, Curofy identifies the right doctors, who can see the cases in their feeds or through push notifications. Within a few hours, the doctors in need receive an average of five to seven responses from their peers across various specialties.
Going forward, the company aims to “help other stakeholders use this engagement and reach out to doctors”, says Goyal. “All stakeholders who are creating value for doctors could use Curofy to create their own platforms or devices so an app inside [the app].”

With a credible network, Curofy aims to scale up through brand promotions and marketing of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and health-tech products and services. “Pawan, Mudit and Nipun bring a perfect combination of product expertise and domain passion to scale up this opportunity,” says Leo Capital’s Rajul Garg, who has invested in the venture.
