Bengaluru-based healthtech startup mfine on Tuesday has announced that it has raised $4.5 million in debt funding from venture debt firm Alteria Capital.

The funding will be used to maximize its investments in AI, mobile engineering and hardware integration. Mfine is also planning to expand its hospital network in some of the metropolitan cities in the next six months.

“We are able to bring high-quality healthcare to users’ mobile—be it doctor consultations, medicine orders, diagnostics tests or digital tools. The recently closed Series B and Alteria’s current investment are an endorsement of our differentiation and potential to create a large-scale health-tech business,” mfine co-founder and CEO Prasad Kompalli said.

The startup raised $17.2 million (Rs 120 crore) in its Series B funding round in April. The round was led by SBI Investment, the venture capital unit of Japanese financial services company SBI Group.
