Pentathlon Ventures Backs Healthtech Startup AyushPay

While neither AyushPay nor Pentathlon has officially disclosed financial details of the deal, industry sources indicate that the total round is estimated to be around $2 million, with Pentathlon’s participation below the $1 million mark.

Pune-based venture fund Pentathlon Ventures has invested in AyushPay, a healthtech and embedded finance platform working to improve healthcare affordability for India’s underserved middle and lower-middle income groups.

Reportedly, the investment will support AyushPay’s expansion of its credit-led, tech-driven healthcare financing platform, which offers low-cost medical loans, subscription health plans, AI-powered approvals, and access to over 10,000 hospitals across India.

AyushPay’s model aims to address a longstanding gap in India’s healthcare system, where a large population remains excluded from both public and private health insurance coverage, often forced to delay treatments, borrow for medical bills, or forego care due to financial constraints.

“India’s middle and lower-middle class are left out of both public and private insurance. AyushPay is changing that using a credit-led, tech-enabled model to offer affordable healthcare financing for the 600 million+ underserved,” Pentathlon Ventures said in a statement.

While neither AyushPay nor Pentathlon has officially disclosed financial details of the deal, industry sources indicate that the total round is estimated to be around $2 million, with Pentathlon’s participation below the $1 million mark. However, an official confirmation on the deal size is still awaited.

Pentathlon Ventures is a tech-focused early-stage venture fund and scale-up accelerator, founded by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. The fund actively backs startups solving critical challenges through innovative, scalable solutions in the Indian market.
