The fresh investment is possibly part of a larger funding round.

TechCircle had reported last September that 1mg was in talks with investors to raise up to $60 million in its largest funding round till date.

Existing investors Sequoia Capital India, Omidyar Network and Swiss healthcare-focused investment firm HBM Healthcare Investments had also put in money in that round.

Founded in 2011 by Prashant Tandon, Chauhan and Agarwal, the online pharmacy, which was previously known as Healthkart Plus, allows customers to order medicines, consult doctors and also purchase health products on its website and via its app. Users can also book diagnostic services and lab tests.
