Allied Healthcare Programs (AHP), which make up 60% of the healthcare workforce and include technicians like phlebotomists, medical lab technicians, operation theatre technicians, and others, are taught at Virohan, a school that was founded in 2018 by Kunaal Dudeja, Nalin Saluja, and Archit Jayaswal. With over 96% completion rates and over 98% placement rates within one month of programme completion, the platform claims to have trained more than 7,000 students throughout its courses. The firm assists students in obtaining internships and employment offers by working with more than 1000 partners, including Fortis Escorts, 1MG, Dr. Lal Path Labs, Sarvodaya Healthcare, Healthians, and others.
“We have always seen Indian education as being a key engine of catalyzing the nation’s development. Equally, education can also help leapfrog social classes and economic cohorts,” said Sajith Pai, Blume Ventures. “Hence, we have consistently bet on education startups lowering barriers for access and expanding opportunities to all. This is why we are excited to partner with Virohan for its ambition and mission to skill and upgrade the next hundred million Indians.”
