Cura Care, a homegrown wellness company that has already established a niche in the home dental services industry, is in the final stages of raising $3 million (approximately ₹27 crore) in new capital. This possible funding round follows a period where the pre-Series A space in India has been a place of high activity. Investors are starting to take an interest in supporting category-defining startups that provide high-convenience solutions to urban consumers.
The suggested round of funding of $3 million is anticipated to be a mix of additional funding by early believers and the addition of new institutional or angel investors. According to sources with confidential information, the company has a total amount of approximately $1 million as sources that will fund the venture, of which nearly half will be provided by the current investor, Zeropearl. This succeeding investment by Zeropearl indicates that there is a lot of internal confirmation on the progress of Cura Care since the previous funding.
The remaining $2 million of the round will come in as a new group of investors who are eager to join the company in its new stage of development. Although the startup has preserved some form of secrecy on the exact identity of the new investors, the fact that the external parties are keen on the new models of healthcare delivery that are tech-enabled and circumvent the conventional clinic-based user experience highlights the increased interest in the tech-based healthcare delivery model.
It would be the second major funding event of the company in the same calendar year after a prior round in April 2025, where it had raised ₹5 crore in a pre-seed round led by Zeropearl. In that previous deal, Bipin Shah, the Founder and Managing Partner of Zeropearl, pointed out the fundamental issue the startup would address by claiming that nearly everyone has teeth and has dental problems, but the biggest limitation of the present-day consumer is time.
Cura Care is an oral hygiene company founded in January 2025 by a team of highly qualified professionals, including IIT Delhi alumnus Abhinav Kumar and Chinmay Mittal, and oral surgeon Dr. Paminder Singh, based on the vision of the company to revolutionize the way people in India view and access oral health services. The business model of the startup revolves around the provision of high-quality dental services, including teeth cleaning, scaling, polishing, and whitening, to the consumer at his or her home. These services are carried out by DCI-approved dentists who make use of customized portable dental units so that the healthcare standard of a general dental office can be preserved at home. This business model focuses on hygiene, safety, and ultimate convenience, which targets an urban population that tends to irrationally under-value dentist visits because of the logistical challenges of going to a clinic.
Cura Care has been operating since its opening and has had more than 1,000 customers by doing individual home visits and targeted oral wellness camps. With a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of more than 90% and an average customer rating of 4.87, the startup has a high level of product-market fit and quality of services and is indicative of a high level of a high degree of product-market fit and service quality. The founders are trying to seamlessly incorporate oral wellness into the daily routine self-care of millions of Indians who do not receive regular access to quality preventive care at present, by means of the experience-led, convenience-first philosophy.
The new capital amounting to $3 million is allocated to various important development goals as Cura Care tries to expand its operations to new territories. One of the key areas of investment of these funds will be the additional confirmation of its product-market fit and the ongoing enhancement of the customer experience.
The company will streamline its technological and logistical stack so that, as the company grows, the quality and reliability of its at-home visits do not degrade. The funds will be used to create a strong and scalable long-term growth strategy in the huge Indian wellness market, which is already estimated at $60 billion in value.
The strategy of Cura Care is to create a comprehensive network of highly qualified physicians and use its mobile medical assets to serve a larger population. With the startup getting ready to receive such a huge inflow of capital, the company sets itself to set new standards in the Indian oral wellness environment. Cura Care intends to gain a substantial portion of the changing consumer interest in health and self-care by shifting away from the so-called reactive model of dentistry, where consumers seek assistance when they are already in pain, to a proactive model involving hygiene and aesthetics.
The $3 million funding round will be a turning point in the life of Cura Care since the company will no longer be a high-potential startup but a more established force in the health-tech market. The startup, with the support of Zeropearl and a fresh group of investors, has an excellent position to address the logistical issues associated with at-home dental care and increase its coverage. With urban living lifestyles increasingly requiring more time-saving healthcare options, the quality of its offerings and the novel portable delivery model make Cura Care an important startup to consider in the growing market of wellness in India, with organizations spending up to $60 billion annually. This round is not only likely to raise the required “war chest” to support expansion, but also to prove to be the bigger trend of decentralizing healthcare services to the contemporary consumer.
