PB Health

PB Health, a unit under PB Fintech, raised $218 million in a funding round aimed at building hospitals and expanding healthcare infrastructure. This investment, part of a larger ₹1,850 crore round, reflects the growing interest in India’s medical services sector. The capital will help PB Health establish its position in hospital care and broaden its health-related offerings. Investors are showing increased trust in healthcare startups as demand for accessible treatment options continues to grow across the country.

91Trucks

In the transport and logistics sector, 91Trucks secured $5 million in a Series A round. The company runs a full-service commercial vehicle platform and plans to use the funds to improve technology and expand its market reach. With India’s logistics needs growing, this funding will allow 91Trucks to address current gaps in the supply chain and meet demand more effectively.

Metafin

Clean energy platform Metafin raised $5 million to support small businesses in their transition to renewable energy. The startup aims to reduce dependency on fossil fuels through tech-enabled solutions and strategic partnerships. As climate concerns rise, investors are backing ventures that support the shift to cleaner energy sources.

High Time Foods

Bengaluru-based High Time Foods received $1.2 million in funding to grow its foodtech operations. The company plans to expand its product range and improve distribution. With changing food habits in urban markets, foodtech firms like High Time Foods are well-placed to meet shifting consumer tastes.

GoTrust

GoTrust, a privacy compliance and data governance startup, closed a $400,000 pre-seed round. It plans to develop cybersecurity tools and help businesses comply with data regulations. With rising concerns about digital privacy, startups offering such services are drawing attention.

Feline Spirits

In the beverages sector, Feline Spirits secured $600,000 to increase production and widen its presence in the premium alcoholic drinks segment. The company produces craft spirits and aims to meet demand among urban customers looking for quality local brands.

BrowserStack

Meanwhile, Mumbai-based BrowserStack acquired Requestly, a startup backed by Y Combinator. The deal is expected to boost BrowserStack’s software testing and debugging tools. With global developers seeking faster and more reliable tools, this acquisition will help the company improve its product offerings and stay competitive.

This week’s developments show steady momentum in India’s startup space, with strong investor interest across health, energy, logistics, tech, and consumer goods. Startups continue to adapt to rising demand and shifting priorities, drawing the attention of both domestic and international investors.
