I first met Sanchit Agarwal and Aditi Mittal on a virtual call, introduced to me by Sanchit’s elder brother Amit Agarwal , a dear friend of mine for decades. As Ishani Chanana Talwar (my investment partner) and I were exploring investments using our Dil-Se Investment philosophy, a unique approach rooted in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math, I felt something deeply profound in this conversation.
Both founders had faced near-death experiences—Sanchit surviving a life-threatening accident, and Aditi, a two-time cancer survivor. Their stories moved me to tears as they shared how these moments shaped their resolve to leave behind high-paying jobs and dedicate themselves to building Newmi Care with a singular mission: positively impacting the lives of women across India. It has been a tough roller coaster ride where they went through their highs and lows and finally resilience has paid off, they are obsessed to achieve their dreams while being agile , curious , full of gratitude and empathy. Sanchit has worked with world class companies Accenture , Deloitte Consulting , Barclays. Aditi was amongst the first employees of fashion designer Sabyasachi.
I’m proud to have written the first check for Newmi, believing in their vision and courage. This also marks one of Ishani’s first personal investments.
Newmi Care, a comprehensive outpatient platform dedicated to women’s health and wellness, has now raised $1.5M in a Seed round led by Sprout Venture Partners. With participation from a leading family office, LetsVenture , Key Ventures Forum, and several marquee Angels, this capital will be used to expand Newmi’s women-centric clinics in North and West India, enhance technology, and further innovation.
Since its launch in May 2022, Newmi Care has served over 60,000 women in 400 cities, tackling a wide range of health issues including menstrual, sexual, hormonal health, fertility, maternity, menopause, and reproductive cancers. With 10 operational clinics in Delhi/NCR and groundbreaking OPD insurance solutions tailored to women, they are redefining women’s health in India.
“We are on a mission to simplify outpatient care for women in India and bring women’s health to the forefront,” said Sanchit and Aditi.
Ishani and I are proud to back their journey. Dilse best wishes to the entire team in creating a lasting positive impact for all stakeholders. More power to you.
