Practo, one of the world’s most trusted digital healthcare platforms, announced the launch of its care navigation platform in the United States, marking its most significant international expansion following a strong debut in the UAE in the year 2025. Since entering the US in April 2025, Practo has seen rapid organic adoption, listing more than 200,000 doctors on its platform and reaching an annualised GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) run-rate of over $75 million, underscoring early momentum in the world’s largest healthcare market.
In just six months, the platform has grown US traffic nearly six times, crossing more than 300,000 monthly active users. This growth is rooted in the strength of Practo’s platform architecture, data depth, and extensive provider listings. These capabilities have historically driven scalability in India and are now translating effectively in the US.
The company’s early traction is strongest in dental and mental health, two high-intent, high-frequency categories, with over 500 doctors across 150+ clinics, hospitals, and independent practices monetised through paid platform subscriptions. As the company expands into additional specialties, it aims to bring the same breadth of specialty discovery and booking it offers in India, i.e, expanding beyond primary care and enabling seamless access to specialists and surgical pathways through a single integrated platform, said the press communique.
Speaking on the launch, Shashank ND, co-founder & CEO of Practo, said, “The US launch signals something larger than expansion; it shows that an India-built healthcare technology can meaningfully solve for depth, trust, and navigation even in the world’s most complex systems. Healthcare has long been organised around institutions, not people. We believe the next era will be organised around outcomes and informed choice. With one of the world’s richest healthcare datasets, Practo is building the infrastructure that helps people navigate care with confidence, across geographies, specialties, and systems. Entering the US is an important milestone, but our larger mission is to improve health outcomes at scale by making every healthcare decision more informed, timely, and accountable.”
Practo is also expanding its US team to strengthen its on-ground presence and accelerate onboarding of independent practices, clinics, hospitals, and large healthcare chains onto the platform. In parallel, the company is evaluating strategic acquisitions to deepen provider networks, broaden specialty coverage, and reinforce category leadership, said the company note.
The US launch follows Practo’s strong entry into the UAE, where the platform onboarded 50,000 monthly active users, and listed 31,000+ doctors and 3,000+ clinics. Together, these expansions strengthen Practo’s position as a global healthcare navigation platform built on data, trust, and health outcomes, added the company communique.
