Four graduates of BITS Pilani have come together to launch an on-demand healthcare platform, named VISIT, that connects patients with practitioners anytime, anywhere through smartphone or computer.
The motivation for building the telemedicine app came when they — Anurag Prasad, Vaibhav Singh, Chetan Anand and Shashvat Tripathi — felt for such a service on the BITS Pilani campus, which is located in a remote area and accessing quality healthcare was inconvenient. VISIT has 100-plus top practitioners since the initial launch last month and 200 more of them are in the waiting list, Anurag Prasad said.
The team has been incubated by technology company MapMyIndia, that has taken a minority stake in the early stage venture, which is now also in talks with Indian and global venture capitalists to raise a major Series A round of funding for scaling up operations.
