Gytree.com announced its first round of fundraising, led by Biocon’s Kiran
Mazumdar Shaw, Rainmatter Investments, Ajay Srinivasan former CEO of
Aditya Birla Capital, Anubhuti Sharma of San Francisco-based Millie Clinic
amongst others.

Gytree.com uses technology to provide women with an intelligent dashboard,
world class experts and personalised journeys for better health outcomes.
“We need to build female first products in health and for way too long India
has ignored that,” says Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Chairperson of Biocon, India’s
largest biopharmaceutical company. “Gytree.com fills an important gap in
using technology to solve for personalised health needs of women through
products and services. I am delighted to lend support to Shaili and her team
on this purposeful journey.”

Shaili Chopra is an award-winning entrepreneur who earlier set up Asia’s
largest platform for women, SheThePeople (backed by Anand Mahindra). The
demand for women’s health solutions and gytree.com emerged from within
that 20 million strong community. “What Indian women need is a 360-degree
approach to care, due to inter-related symptoms and outcomes. India’s current
health systems do not provide that. Gytree.com offers a patient-centric team to
bridge this gap across all life stages, from menstruation to menopause,” says
Chopra.

The data on women’s health shows, a platform like Gytree is the need of our
times. Almost 60% of working women in India quit the workforce due to health
related issues. According to the National Health Portal of India, more than 32
million women in India suffer from incurable conditions ranging from PCOS to
endometriosis, and infertility, and they lack the necessary handholding to
manage this effectively. Gytree.com would be the first platform of its kind to
provide assistance at every step: symptom identification, timely diagnosis and
long-term management.

The Rainmatter Investments team said of their investment in Gytree, “Helping
people make healthy choices has been a priority for us at Rainmatter. Of all
the health issues in India, the lack of focus on women’s healthcare has to be
the biggest. This is why we’re excited to join Shaili and the team as they tackle
this pressing issue by building a comprehensive and exclusive healthcare
ecosystem for women.”

A new generation of women are demanding better healthcare, and Gytree is
answering that call. The platform is built by a core team of women who
understand the needs of those who identify as female. Chopra (a Stanford and
Aspen Global fellow) possesses more than 20 years of experience in media,
content and community having successfully established women-focussed
startups and through this journey deeply understood what gaps women want
fulfilled and personalised. Chief Product Officer Swarnima Bhattacharya has
worked with women’s health and gender-based policy for over a decade with
the UN, WHO and others. Dr Sudeshna Ray, with over 30 years of Ob-Gyn
experience from India’s top hospitals is the platform’s medical director.

Investor in Gytree and former CEO of Aditya Birla Capital, Ajay Srinivasan
said, “I am excited by femtech as a sector and believe solutions targeted at
getting women to lead better lives will scale up and drive growth. Usage of
tech can help make solutions more affordable and universal, something India’s
600 mn plus women need immediately.”

As part of its go to market strategy, Gytree will be directly available to
consumers through the easy to use web-app, but also to corporations who
prioritise female workforce and their health.

The virtual platform gives consumers services wrapped around the core
offering of gynaecology that includes mental health support, nutrition
counselling, and regular digital health checks linked to their primary needs.

Patients get access to at-home lab tests curated for women and round the
clock patient care and virtual check-in options. “At Gytree we have several
benefits for women seeking such support. They not only get access from
anywhere, anytime, but are also able to discuss personal and intimate health
details in a safe and discreet environment,” adds Chopra.
