India’s fertility landscape is witnessing a new wave of transformation as Bessemer Venture Partners leads a $14 million Series A funding round in Pluro Fertility and IVF, a rapidly emerging fertility platform aiming to unify India’s leading reproductive specialists under one trusted network.
With over 27 million couples facing infertility challenges in the country, access to standardised and reliable fertility treatment remains a significant gap in the healthcare ecosystem. Pluro Fertility, co-founded by Dr. Jaydeep Tank, Dr. Parikshit Tank, and Dr. Bhaskar Shah, seeks to bridge this gap by building a nationwide platform that integrates medical excellence, technology, and operational scalability.
A Unified Model for Accessible and Transparent Fertility Care
The Indian IVF industry, projected to grow from approximately 300,000 cycles in 2024 to 550,000 cycles by 2030, remains largely fragmented. Nearly 90% of the 6,500 IVF centres operate as standalone clinics, leading to inconsistencies in patient experience and outcomes, especially across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
Pluro Fertility aims to address this fragmentation through a collaborative network model. The company partners with reputed IVF specialists, providing them with robust operational, financial, HR, and marketing support, allowing clinicians to focus on patient care while benefiting from shared resources and best practices.
Over the next six months, Pluro plans to integrate 25 standalone IVF clinics into its network. Each partner doctor receives equity participation, aligning incentives and enabling shared value creation across the ecosystem. For patients, this translates to consistent, transparent, and outcomes-driven fertility care nationwide.
Strong Leadership and Strategic Vision
Pluro’s leadership brings together deep medical expertise and proven healthcare management experience:
- Dr. Jaydeep Tank (CEO & Co-founder): A pioneer in IVF practice in India who has mentored more than 20 fertility specialists.
- Dr. Parikshit Tank (Co-founder): A recognised IVF expert with over 80 peer-reviewed research papers and four authored books.
- Dr. Bhaskar Shah (Co-founder): Promoter of Jupiter Hospitals, a publicly listed healthcare network valued at over $1.17 billion.
This blend of clinical excellence and administrative acumen positions Pluro uniquely to set new benchmarks for fertility outcomes and patient experience in India.
Bessemer’s Strategic Investment in Fertility Care
Commenting on the investment, Bessemer Venture Partners highlighted that focused, single-speciality healthcare platforms like Pluro are well-positioned to deliver superior outcomes in India’s fragmented healthcare environment. As large hospital chains often prioritise acute or inpatient care, specialised networks such as Pluro can offer highly personalised, technology-enabled fertility services at scale.
This partnership underscores a broader shift toward organised, tech-driven fertility ecosystems that combine data insights, standard protocols, and compassionate care — redefining how infertility treatment is delivered in India.

The company’s model ensures both patient trust and clinician empowerment, setting the stage for a more equitable and transparent fertility care system.
With this new round of funding, Pluro is poised to accelerate its expansion, strengthen its digital infrastructure, and bring reliable, high-quality fertility care to families across India — turning the dream of parenthood into reality for thousands.
