  "account": "Butterfly Learnings, an Indian pediatric behavioral healthcare platform catering to children with neurodevelopmental conditions, has secured Rs 65 crore in pre-Series B funding. The investment round, spearheaded by venture capital firm Inflexor Ventures, brings in new backers including Enzia Ventures, Insitor Impact Asia Fund, and IIMA Ventures. The additional funds will be allocated towards expanding the company's network of centers throughout India, enhancing its technology platform, and commercializing their early autism screening solution. Butterfly Learnings also intends to invest in AI capabilities, forge alliances with hospitals and pediatricians, and augment its therapist training program. The platform, founded by Dr Sonam Kothari and Dr Abhishek Sen, addresses a gap in India's neurodevelopmental care system. It amalgamates therapy, diagnostics, digital therapeutics, inclusive schooling, and technology-driven interventions into a single, comprehensive offering to provide families with a more cohesive care pathway. Currently, Butterfly Learnings operates over 90 centers across 22 Indian cities. The timing of this investment is significant, as awareness of autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and learning disabilities is on the rise in India, but access to specialist care remains uneven. According to Butterfly Learnings, approximately 45 million children in the country suffer from neurodevelopmental conditions, yet only a small fraction receive timely intervention due to delayed diagnosis, disjointed care pathways, and a scarcity of trained professionals. Dr Kothari emphasized that the company's founding question wasn't whether families needed support, as \"they did desperately,\" but rather why existing systems continued to fail them. She posited that the answer was consistently \"fragmentation,\" with diagnosis, therapy, and schooling often functioning independently instead of as part of a coordinated treatment model. Butterfly Learnings was designed to take responsibility for the entire journey, integrating standardized clinical protocols with data and technology while preserving empathy and transparency. The new funding, according to Dr Kothari, will enable the company to extend this model to many more children. For Inflexor Ventures, the investment underscores the growing investor interest in specialized healthcare platforms that merge technology with quantifiable results. Partner Pratip Mazumdar noted that the founders had constructed a platform that was already demonstrating how standardized, outcome-tracked care could be delivered at scale.",
