Of the total amount, Rs 539.4 crore has already been infused by PB Fintech Limited, while the remaining capital will be contributed by external investors, according to disclosures filed with the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the company was valued at $240 million in its last fundraise.

FY22-FY23 FY22 FY23 EBITDA Margin -46% -21% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹1.61 ₹1.34 ROCE -23% -38% The emergence of startups like Mosaic Wellness can usually be considered a net positive as they take away share from shady operators offering unqualified advice for health related issues. However, with their own dependence on pushing wellness products, many with potentially dubious claims when it comes to benefits, the firm does run the risk of slipping up on credibility at some stage. The high dependence on advertising and promotions is a clear indicator of the efforts required to wean away clientele from smaller mostly unlicensed players. By now, the firm should be in a position to assume leadership, or clear focus on a specific area where it can, and has made a discernible difference to its customers, and build on that for the future.
