Jobizo has raised INR 12 crore in a Pre-Series A funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures and Alkemi Ventures.
The healthtech HR platform plans to utilise the recent funding to enhance its technology, expand marketing initiatives, grow its workforce, and support working capital needs across both domestic and global markets.
Platform details
Jobizo was launched in India to address persistent challenges in healthcare staffing. These challenges include urgent demand for temporary staffing, a shortage of adequately trained professionals, and systemic inefficiencies in employment processes. The platform facilitates connections between healthcare institutions and pre-verified professionals for both temporary and permanent roles, leveraging smart technology to streamline the hiring process.
Since its founding, Jobizo has facilitated over 18,500 temporary healthcare job placements, more than 875 permanent hires within India, and approximately 1,000 international placements. The company boasts a verified pool of over 60,000 healthcare professionals, offering comprehensive support to meet healthcare staffing demands with a focus on speed, quality, and compliance across various regions.
Leadership and expertise
Jobizo was co-founded by Avishek Agarwal, who serves as CEO and brings more than 14 years of industry experience, and Naveen Trehan, the Chairman and a Chartered Accountant with multiple entrepreneurial exits. The company is underpinned by leadership with significant expertise in healthcare staffing and revenue cycle management.
Backing from investors
Vinay Bansal, Founder, Inflection Point Ventures, says, "Healthcare is an extremely important segment, and at the heart of it are people. Hence, it goes without saying, how crucial it is that the right people are hired for the job. However, the hiring process tends to be long, arduous and unreliable. Currently, healthcare is facing a major manpower crunch. It is reflected in the shortage and mismatch of healthcare talent. Jobizo is bridging the gap between healthcare and qualified professionals by making hiring faster, more flexible and digital thus solving multiple pain points across the healthcare employment ecosystem."
Technology and reach
Jobizo's platform features AI-enabled, real-time job matching aimed at ensuring prompt and accurate placements of healthcare professionals. The company covers locum roles in regions such as Delhi NCR and Bangalore, in addition to permanent positions across numerous Indian cities. Internationally, Jobizo's recruitment network spans over 41 countries, including markets such as the UAE, South Africa, Kenya, and Nepal.
The platform focuses on verified talent acquisition, skill building, and supporting long-term career pathways for professionals, presenting a framework intended to meet the evolving needs of healthcare staffing globally.
Statements from leadership
"This round gives us the fuel to deepen our technology stack and expand across both domestic and international markets," says Avishek Agarwal, CEO & Co-Founder. "We are laser-focused on bridging the global healthcare skills gap while offering flexible, meaningful job opportunities. Strengthening our core team and launching in more cities will be a key part of our growth roadmap."
Industry context
The Indian healthcare hiring sector is projected to be valued between USD $6.38 billion and USD $12.76 billion by 2030, owing to rising healthcare demands, governmental reforms, and increased private capital deployment. On a global scale, the market is anticipated to reach between USD $62 billion and USD $65 billion, driven by demographic shifts including ageing populations, greater prevalence of chronic diseases, and continued structural reforms in the health sector.
Inflection Point Ventures has invested more than INR 800 crore in over 250 startups to date, supporting new-age enterprises through both financial backing and experience-sharing among a network of investors. Alkemi Ventures, which co-led the funding round, participates in similar investment strategies targeting the healthcare and technology sectors.
Jobizo's stated aims involve investing in robust technological frameworks, supporting professionals through upskilling initiatives, and expanding placement opportunities, both within India and internationally.
