Telemedicine startup Konsult announces seed round

Delhi-based telemed app, Konsult, has raised $500,000 in two rounds of seed funding. The app connects doctors and patients and is currently operating in Delhi with some 1,200 doctors on board. “It’s an aggregation model, there is no need for an appointment. Depending what the duration of the call is, the patient gets charged. There is an on-boarding cost involved for the doctors. We make money on the basis of every transaction – we charge a flat commission on, where 70% goes to the doctor, 30% is our share” – cofounder Anshul Mittal on the company’s business model.
