New Delhi, June 25 : Artificial intelligence (AI) health startup Cloudphysician on Tuesday said that it raised $10.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from Elevar Equity and venture debt firm Panthera Peak.

The fresh funds will be used to propel the company's growth and operations within India and expand into multiple emerging markets and established markets such as the US.

In addition, the funds will be used to further enhance its innovative AI platform, RADAR, to improve its co-pilot features using data, the company said.

"We aim to scale our business and continue transforming critical care delivery in India and global markets. We remain committed to our vision of leveraging AI and advanced technology to ensure high-quality care is accessible to all, regardless of location," Co-founders Dr Dhruv Joshi, and Dr Dileep Raman, said in a statement.
