Ivory, a Mumbai-based brain health platform, has raised $1 million in a seed funding round from Draper Associates, SAGE Venture Fund, MoSJE, IFCI Ventures, and SIDBI, according to Entrackr. The company was featured on Shark Tank India last year. Ivory previously raised $1 million co-led by IIM-A Ventures and Capital A in April 2024, and $500,000 from Capital A in February 2024.
Platform focus: cognitive assessments and preventive care
Ivory, co-founded in early 2023 by Issac John and Rahul Krishnan, delivers clinical-grade cognitive assessments via an app paired with personalised brain health solutions. The platform combines neuroscience, neuropsychology, and data-driven interventions to help users maintain and enhance cognitive well-being.
The app enables users to track and optimise their cognitive health over time. Ivory is supported by a multidisciplinary clinical team spanning neuroscience, neurology, general medicine, and neuropsychology. The company aims to make cognitive screening accessible and a part of routine preventive care in India’s healthcare ecosystem.
Use of funding
The seed round proceeds will be used to strengthen the technology stack, expand clinical capabilities, and enhance product offerings, with a focus on building scalable, evidence-based solutions.
Healthcare partnerships
Ivory has expanded partnerships across India’s healthcare ecosystem. The company recently collaborated with Metropolis Healthcare to launch the TruHealth Mind & Body package—an integrated preventive health offering that combines pathology diagnostics with neuroscience-based cognitive assessments.
Competitive landscape
Ivory may compete with global platforms including Cogstate, Altoida, Pearson, BrainCheck, and Linus Health. The company also competes with traditional pen-and-paper assessments such as MoCA, MMSE, and ACE-III.
