Kenko Health shuts down; investors drag insurtech startup to NCLT

Insuretech startup Kenko Health has closed down due to a lack of funds. The company, backed by investors including Sequoia Capital India and Orios Venture Partners, was taken to the National Company Law Tribunal by a debt fund. Kenko had not paid its employees for several months and had previously laid off 20% of its workforce. The startup had applied for a health insurance license but needed fresh funds. However, a proposed investment plan was opposed by some existing investors, resulting in a stalemate. Kenko's founders held a 36% stake in the company, with Peak XV, Beenext, and Orios having smaller stakes. The startup had raised $13.7 million in funding and recorded a net loss of $8.5 million in fiscal 2023.
