"This investment marks a pivotal step in a journey that began for Lokant and me in our early twenties," said Saniya Jeswani, Co-founder and CEO. "We are fuelled by a passion to deliver predictive health insights that empower individuals everywhere—even in the remotest corners."
With over 700 biomarkers monitored and patents in India (with US pending), Perkant is reimagining early disease detection and scalable, accessible health solutions aligned with the National Digital Health Mission.
