Abstract: Spry, started by former Ola CTO, will use the capital to build practice management for physical rehabilitation.

Healthcare startup Spry on Wednesday said it has secured over $7 million (around Rs 54 crore) in a Series A funding round led by Eight Roads Ventures, with participation from F-Prime Capital and existing investor, Together Fund. The startup has raised over $10 million in less than six months to date.

Brijraj Bhuptani and Riyaz Rehman founder of spry and Ola’s former chief technology officer said that he aims to democratize the accessibility and affordability of movement health through its full-stack digital health platform by providing an end-to-end patient and practice management SaaS platform for physical therapists.

“Our mission is to create a patient-first, tech-driven solution that anticipates the patient’s needs before they step into the physical therapist’s clinic, and guides them during the treatment,” said Brijraj Bhuptani, cofounder and CEO, of Spry.
