🚀 Shaping the Future of Healthcare Education: Virohan Raises ₹65Cr (~$7.5M) @JoinVirohan (Fund IV) has raised ₹65Cr in a round led by Mynavi Corporation. We participated in the round along with Bharat Inclusive Technologies Seed Fund and Rebright Partners. Founded by @KunaalDudeja (Kunaal), @nalinsaluja (Nalin), and Archit Jayaswal, Virohan is the pioneer in healthcare education, enabling leading universities and healthcare organizations to create a robust education-to-employment pipeline for aspiring healthcare professionals. They have tied up with over 20 higher education institutions and trained over 13,000 learners to date. The fresh capital will accelerate Virohan’s path to profitability through product innovation, operational efficiencies, and strategic talent expansion. "The healthcare system runs on the strength of skilled professionals, yet millions of roles remain unfilled due to broken pathways between education and employment. By 2030, we aim to impact one million learners and become the backbone of the allied healthcare workforce, in India and abroad,” said Kunaal Dudeja, CEO of Virohan. Sajith Pai, Partner at Blume, says, ”We have always seen Indian education as being a key engine of catalyzing the nation’s development. This is why we are excited to partner with Virohan, for its ambition and mission to skill and upgrade the next hundred million Indians, expanding opportunities for all.” With this milestone, Virohan is poised to shape the next decade of healthcare education and workforce development in India—creating a stronger bridge between classrooms and careers.

This is hilarious.

@sajithpai Excellent recommendation Sajith. First time was magical for me as well. Also, the audible version is fully voice-acted- great for a second run in NCR traffic.

Eli Goldratt's The Goal has easily been one of my best reads in the past few years, and one that really impacted my thinking; the big learning from this was that you can look at any startup / biz model as a manufacturing operation, and identify constraints or bottlenecks. So an Unacademy manufactures teaching slots, and a key constraint is teacher hours, and so on.

Tech is here to stay and the disruption is just getting started. Instead of outright bans, perhaps we can systematically integrate #ChatGPT and other tools into higher education to achieve better learning outcomes. forbes.com/sites/ariannaj…

@thisisrayguo @sajithpai @BlumeVentures @JoinVirohan Thank you and with you on this absolutely. We want to be at the forefront of solving for employability in India via higher education.

@sajithpai @BlumeVentures @JoinVirohan impressive numbers on the students trained and placement rates, that's a real testament to the positive impact education can make.

At @BlumeVentures we are going all in on edtech! Excited to partner @JoinVirohan helping students train to become allied healthcare professionals or AHPs (phlebotomists, OT technicians, physios etc). Over 7k students trained w near 100% placement rates! yourstory.com/2023/01/health…

@roshan_mishra @sajithpai @BlumeVentures @JoinVirohan Hey Roshan We’re Funded Training Partners with NSDC and operate under the market led model. We have not yet undertaken PMKVY or any other government funded projects.

@sajithpai @BlumeVentures @JoinVirohan I see Skill India and NSDC as their partners. Any idea if they are part of PMKVY? Or are they just using the skill India portals for course content (This seems more likely)?

In 2018, an Amazon employee leaked an internal writing workshop. Steal Amazon’s 7 writing tips:

Happy to announce that @JoinVirohan has closed a $7mn fundraise! We continue to expand the boundaries of Demand-driven, Technology-led education in our quest to solve for employability in India. #fundingalert #edtech #healthcare #skillindia #india economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/funding/p…

This recent trend of posting videos of Indians fighting on flights is hilarious but also kinda sad. These people are likely top 3% of India’s per capita income affording air travel and are ‘educated’. It shows we have a long way to go, even culturally.

@arp99 @AxisBankSupport @AxisBank Report all their numbers to TRAI every single time. :)

Visited the Axis bank twice to close my account but no action by the pant nagar branch bank authorities still. If you can't close it, atleast dont sell me personal loans everyday. @AxisBankSupport @AxisBank

@RishabhSinghi23 @paraschopra This is the best option. Opt in for no breakfast while booking or, if you love breakfast spreads, skip lunch and have early dinner. Continue to meet calorie and if possible, protein thresholds

@paraschopra Not entirely healthy but I do continue my intermittent fasting even on holidays. It saves me from bloating and low energy due to junk food.

During my recent Thailand trip, I realized it's almost impossible to eat healthy during a holiday. Do you manage to eat healthy even on holidays? How do you do it?

We had the quarterly review and planning with Our leaders offsite for the first time yesterday. It’s amazing how much the physical environment can affect the energy and mindset of the room!

@NavyaKedia Take a lot of feedback from everyone. Act on very few, important ones at a time.

Turned 20 today:) really excited! Any advice?

@paraschopra Certain governments 😄

What's broken but is continued to be used because there's no good alternative?

@Ohara_the_Fox Yohohohohoho

Experience is frequency and quality of feedback loops and not elapsed years. Many people stay the same for years and many evolve 10x in a single year.

@jarridvtingle Great thread Jarrid. Lots of valuable insights!

How do VCs value start-ups? Hint: it’s NOT actually about what companies are worth🤔 Let’s talk about how valuation is determined for early-stage companies by VCs and founders 🧵

@thefaadguy They should. But, if they do that at this point, kids will have to mug up definitions and names and types of companies, founders etc. We need a systemic overhaul in pedagogy and a trainer program that supports it.

Do you think Startups and Entrepreneurship should become a compulsory subject in schools and colleges?
