Care.fi, Backed by Peak XV, Acquires Aldun to Deliver a Unified, Patient-First Discharge Experience at National Scale

New Delhi, Jan 21: Care.fi, a healthcare-focused fintech founded by Vikrant Agrawal and Sidak Singh, today announced its acquisition of Aldun, a discharge-automation platform recognized for enabling near-instant, 10-minute patient discharges. Aldun currently supports around 10,000 discharges per month across hospital networks including Aster, Apollo, Manipal, Sir Ganga Ram, Fortis, KIMS, Narayana, and Cloudnine, impacting over 1 lakh lives and saving hospitals more than 10 lakh administrative hours.

Through this acquisition, Care.fi plans to scale the combined solution to 300 hospital units and approximately 1 lakh monthly discharges, creating a unified, transparent patient experience from admission to settlement.

By integrating Aldun’s last-mile orchestration with Care.fi’s revenue-cycle management (RCM) and financing rails, the acquisition addresses a critical system bottleneck—slow, manual discharge processes—unlocking measurable capacity and cash flow for providers. Hospitals will benefit from higher bed turnover, faster claims closure, reduced denials, and finance teams gain real-time visibility into receivables and working capital. Faster discharges also increase daily effective capacity without new capex, improving access and service levels for patients.

“Discharge is the last mile of care and the first memory a family takes home. By bringing Aldun into the Care.fi fold, we’re turning hours into minutes and queues into capacity. Coupled with our RCM and financing rails, including our single-window claims platform, hospitals get one operating layer for faster discharge, cleaner books, and a measurably better patient experience,” said Vikrant Agrawal, Co-founder, Care.fi.

Once the final bill is generated, patients typically head home in ~10 minutes, avoiding the traditional full-day wait. This reduces non-clinical costs such as parking, attendant time off work, and extra room charges, lowers anxiety at discharge, and supports earlier recovery at home with clearer, digital instructions and follow-ups.

“At scale, discharge delays aren’t just an operational issue—they distort cashflows, capacity planning, and patient confidence. This acquisition lets us redesign discharge as a predictable, system-level outcome rather than a daily firefight. By unifying financing, claims, and settlement into one workflow, we’re helping hospitals release locked capacity, accelerate collections, and deliver a consistent patient experience across cities and care settings,” said Sidak Singh, Co-founder, Care.fi.

The acquisition is a strategic fit, combining convenience, compliance, and cashflow with national-level distribution, delivering a consistent patient journey across partner hospitals. Standardizing 10-minute discharge processes across multi-specialty hospitals—especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets—will unlock throughput, lower administrative overheads, and improve operational efficiency without adding beds.

Backing from investors such as Peak XV (Care.fi) and 2am VC (Aldun) underscores growing confidence in practical, implementation-ready solutions that simultaneously enhance patient convenience and RCM discipline.
