Practo, India’s pioneering digital healthcare platform, has expanded operations to the United States its boldest global step yet after entering the UAE in 2025. The launch introduces Practo’s care navigation services to American users, enabling easy discovery of verified providers, bookings, and coordinated care in one of the world’s most fragmented healthcare markets.

The US platform already boasts over 200,000 listed doctors, reflecting rapid onboarding of independent practices and clinics. Traffic surged six-fold within months, hitting a $75 million annualized gross merchandise value (GMV) run-rate a testament to demand for trusted, streamlined health navigation.

This follows Practo’s UAE rollout, where it quickly gained 50,000 monthly active users and listed 31,000 doctors across 3,000 clinics in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The sequential expansion validates Practo’s model: starting with diaspora-heavy markets before tackling broader audiences.

Co-founder and CEO Shashank ND emphasized the milestone: “The US launch signals something larger than expansion; it shows that an India-built healthcare technology can meaningfully solve for depth, trust, and navigation even in the world’s most complex systems.”

Practo is expanding its US on-ground team and evaluating strategic acquisitions to bolster provider networks and specialty depth. Focus areas include chronic care management, mental health, and preventive services leveraging AI-driven recommendations and seamless integrations.

Back home, Practo sustains profitability (six consecutive quarters) with strong India growth, positioning the company favorably for its anticipated 2026 IPO.

This global push highlights Indian health-tech’s maturing export potential, delivering scalable solutions to universal pain points like provider search and care coordination.
