Bangalore-based healthcare start-up Practo has acquired digital fitness management application Fitho Wellnes for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition will help Practo rapidly expand its offerings and move into the preventive healthcare space.

It will also bring Practo closer to its goal of emerging the single health app consumers need, the company said in a statement.

“This is the first of several acquisitions we are exploring. It is the next step in our mission to make a single health app which offers consumers a more comprehensive solution ranging from preventive to curative healthcare,” Shashank N.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Practo said.

The founders of Fitho Wellnes, Dhruv and Prachi Gupta, will join Practo, with Dhruv taking on the role of Product Head for Preventive, and Prachi taking on the role of GM-Operations, New Segments.
