“We will be in the market to raise a large round, we will be looking at USD 75-100 million fund raise. So, that is something on the cards,” Gondal told PTI. The company will “soon” start the process of raising the funds, he informed.

GOQii is into wearable-based smart-tech-enabled fitness and healthcare, and its platform brings together preventive healthcare ecosystem. The smart health ecosystem integrates tools for personalised coaching, a high-growth health e-commerce store, scheduling health check-ups, a health locker, and the ‘GOQii Cash’ programme where healthy behaviour is rewarded with cash discounts and insurance discounts based on health management data. “Preventive healthcare is now the biggest segment that everybody is investing in.
“As a segment, it will grow massively. We believe that the entire preventive healthcare business will grow 100 per cent year-on-year, and our sale should at least match that trend,” Gondal added. Going forward, the company plans to infuse investments into brand and consumer awareness. “We want to make preventive healthcare the need of the hour for every person. Another area of investment will be international expansion,” he said.
