By Bharat Fast News Desk

Prodoc AI has raised an undisclosed amount in a seed round. The Bengaluru-based healthcare AI startup said the Dr A. Velumani Family Office led the round. Dr Arokiaswamy Velumani founded Thyrocare and heads that family office. Dr Kunal Shet and Parth D. Bhasin also participated, as per the company. Both are existing users of the platform.

Seed round and participants

Prodoc AI was co-founded by Asit Kumar Vidyarthi and Raghuvamshi Thakur, the company said. Vidyarthi is the chief executive and Thakur is the chief operating officer. It did not disclose the size of the seed financing. The company said the funds will support further development of its Agentic AI platform for hospitals.

Connecting hospital workflows

Prodoc AI calls its product an intelligence layer. It connects patient engagement, clinical, operational and care workflows. Prodoc AI (prodoc.ai) sits on top of the hospital systems already in use. Hospitals do not have to replace what they run today, as per the company. It is intended to connect processes that may otherwise operate across separate workflows.

What The Platform Does

• Patient acquisition and appointment conversion
• Care coordination across patient journeys
• Follow-ups with patients after interactions or treatment
• Referrals and related engagement workflows
• Daily hospital operations

Vidyarthi said a patient reaches a hospital through many doors. These include call centres, WhatsApp, outpatient departments, diagnostics, pharmacies and follow-up teams. He said those interactions often sit in different systems, limiting how hospitals use their combined context.

“The opportunity with AI is to connect that context and make the entire journey more intelligent,” Vidyarthi said. He said Prodoc AI aims to help hospitals move from collecting data to taking meaningful action for each patient.

Investor’s view

Velumani said healthcare providers can find it easier to generate leads than convert them into revenue. He said process fatigue makes many leads drop off midway. That pushes up customer acquisition costs while facilities stay underused.

“I believe Prodoc AI can reduce customer acquisition costs by 10% to 25%, based on lead quality and service pricing, by enabling one resource to deliver the output of five,” Velumani said. He also cited the startup’s focus on healthcare and AI.

Same Investor, Different Bets

This is the second healthcare-adjacent cheque from Velumani’s family office this week. It also led Simple Energy’s Rs 1,750 crore Series C and backed longevity clinics startup Vytalyou’s Rs 9 crore round.

Planned product development

The funding will go into its Agentic AI capabilities, the company said. It will also add more system integrations. It also plans to build AI agents for complex hospital workflows. These cover care coordination, patient engagement, operations and revenue processes.
