The funding infusion comes at a crucial time when India's fertility industry is experiencing rapid growth, with an estimated 30 million couples facing infertility challenges across the country. Pluro Fertility aims to address the critical gaps in the current IVF ecosystem through its innovative approach.

Key innovations introduced by the platform include:

Addressing India's Growing Fertility Challenge
India's fertility treatment market has been expanding at an impressive rate of 15-20% annually, yet many couples struggle with inconsistent treatment quality, opaque pricing, and limited access to specialized care outside major metropolitan areas.
"Our vision is to create a patient-centric ecosystem that demystifies IVF treatment and makes world-class fertility care accessible to millions across India," said Dr. Khandelwal, emphasizing the platform's mission.
Why Bessemer Bet on Reproductive Health Tech
