Healthtech startup Cent raises $15M in Series A
Cent said it will use the funding for R&D and to build out its AI, engineering, and clinical teams.
Healthtech startup Cent has secured $15 million in Series A funding, combining debt and equity, from Blume Ventures and South Park Commons, with individual investors such as Arun Sarin, Srinivas Narayanan, and Narayana Sharath. The funds will be allocated towards research and development, expanding its technical and clinical teams. Founded in 2025 by Shashank ND, Arpit Garg, and Anshul Khandelwal, Cent aims to become a preventive health intelligence company.
Cent's platform integrates hardware, AI-driven radiology, diagnostics, and bioinformatics to detect diseases before symptoms manifest. The startup recently acquired Medsee, an AI-powered radiology reporting platform, to expedite and standardize report generation for radiologists. With India's healthcare system currently focused on treating illness rather than preventing it, Cent believes the future lies in precise and accessible preventive care on a large scale.
Since its inception, Cent has conducted over 10,000 preventive whole-body scans across Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi, with plans to reach 10 million scans by 2035. The company aims to extend its services globally over time. Blume Ventures' Co-founder and Managing Partner, Karthik Reddy, expressed confidence in Cent's vision, aligning with the company's health tech ambitions for a decade.
