Mumbai-based healthtech startup Butterfly Learnings has raised Rs 65 crore ($7.7 million) in a pre-Series B funding round led by Inflexor Ventures. Existing investors Enzia Ventures, Insitor Impact Asia Fund and IIMA Ventures also participated.
The company will use the capital to expand its therapy centre network beyond Maharashtra, scale its AI-led autism screening tool Get SET Early, and strengthen therapist training and hospital partnerships. Butterfly Learnings operates over 90 centres across 22 cities in Maharashtra with more than 350 therapists.
Founded in 2021 by Sonam Kothari and Abhishek Sen, the startup offers a full-stack paediatric behavioural health platform for neurodivergent children. It reported revenue of Rs 15.5 crore in FY25, more than double the previous year, while net loss also more than doubled to Rs 13.3 crore.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Butterfly Learnings addresses a severe shortage of paediatric behavioural health services in India, where an estimated 1 in 68 children has autism and specialist availability is extremely low. The CDSCO-approved eye-tracking screening tool Get SET Early could dramatically lower the age of diagnosis, currently often missed until age 4-5. The startup's expansion beyond Maharashtra will test whether its centre-based model can replicate success in less urbanised states. Watch for hospital partnership announcements in new cities over the next two quarters.
