Butterfly Learnings Raises ₹65 Cr To Scale Neurodivergent Care Network

Healthtech startup Butterfly Learnings, which operates a child development and behavioral healthcare network, has raised ₹65 Cr ($7.7 Mn) in a pre-Series B funding round led by Inflexor Ventures. Existing backers Enzia Ventures, Insitor Impact Asia Fund and IIMA Ventures also participated in the round.

The Mumbai-based startup plans to use the fresh capital to expand its therapy centre network beyond Maharashtra, strengthen its AI and digital capabilities, and scale deployment of its Get SET Early autism screening solution by partnering with hospitals and paediatricians.

It also plans to strengthen partnerships with hospitals and paediatricians, expand access to inclusive education and advance AI-enabled precision care. 

Founded in 2021 by Sonam Kothari and Abhishek Sen, Butterfly Learnings operates in the therapy and neurodevelopmental care segment, offering tailored support to patients facing challenges related to autism, ADHD and learning disabilities. 

The startup offers a full-stack paediatric behavioural health platform for neurodivergent children across clinical therapy, inclusive schooling, digital therapeutics, diagnostics, and technology-enabled interventions.

Butterfly Learnings operates over 90 centres across 22 cities in Maharashtra with over 350 therapists under its umbrella. 

Get SET Early is its patented eye-tracking autism screening tool for which it holds an exclusive global licence. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) approved tool enables autism screening for children as young as one year old. 

The latest round came more than two years after Butterfly Learnings raised ₹32 C in its Series A round. The round was led by Insitor Impact Asia Fund and Enzia Ventures With the fresh infusion, the startup has raised $13 Mn since inception. 

On the financial front, Butterfly Learnings reported a revenue of ₹15.5 Cr in FY25 more than double from ₹6.3 Cr in FY25 In tandem, its net loss also more than doubled to ₹13.3 Cr from ₹6.3 Cr earlier. 

With AI-led healthcare offerings gaining steam in India, many startups are finding niche verticals to solve long standing problems in the country’s care economy. Digitally-enabled mental health offerings have become especially popular as awareness and accessibility increase even as availability of resources remain scarce. 

Startups solving this bottleneck include Lissun, which raised ₹48 Cr in its Series A funding round this week to expand the network of its child development and therapy brand, Sunshine by LISSUN, across key cities. The startup also operates a digital platform that connects individuals with psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors and other specialists through online and offline services.

Earlier this year, Mave Health also raised ₹18 Cr in a seed funding round led by Blume Ventures, with participation from All In Capital, Inuka Capital and Stanford Angels, among others.
