India IVF, one of India’s First Tech-Enabled Fertility Platform, Secures $1.25 Million Investment from Tomorrow Capital

Published

on

GURGAON, India, Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — India IVF, a pioneering fertility provider founded by Dr. Richika Sahay and Dr. Somendra Shukla in 2014, has secured $1.25 million in pre-Series A funding from Tomorrow Capital, a $100 million venture capital fund dedicated to supporting early-stage, transformative consumer healthcare businesses. This investment represents India IVF’s first external funding since its inception, following a decade of profitable operations across its five North Indian centers, which include clinics in Delhi NCR and Srinagar.

This new funding from Tomorrow Capital will drive India IVF’s expansion across North India, enabling the company to bridge critical gaps in fertility care access. With the goal of making advanced fertility solutions accessible to underserved communities, India IVF has established India’s first tech-enabled fertility platform, offering comprehensive, 360-degree fertility care through advanced technology and a dedicated team of experts. Tomorrow Capital’s investment follows its recent support of VitusCare and IndiShreshtha, further reinforcing its commitment to specialized healthcare ventures.

Rahul Saha, Senior Principal at Tomorrow Capital, said, “India IVF has shown remarkable growth and a deep understanding of the unique fertility challenges faced by many Indian couples. With a tech-enabled, patient-focused approach, they deliver high-quality personalized care, addressing the often-emotional & stigma attached journey of the fertility treatment. Tomorrow Capital backs ventures that drive meaningful impact, and with India IVF, we’re proud to enable access to essential fertility care across underserved regions in India. We believe their innovative approach will set new standards in India’s fertility sector, and we are excited to support their mission to make fertility care more accessible across the country.”

From its beginnings as a single-room clinic in Gurgaon, India IVF has grown into one of North India’s leading fertility providers. The IVF market in India, valued at $793.27 million in 2020, is projected to reach $3.72 billion by 2030, with growth driven by rising infertility rates, increased adoption of IVF, and regulatory advancements such as the ART Act, which is establishing higher standards for clinic infrastructure. However, IVF remains under-penetrated in many regions, requiring patients from smaller towns to travel to major cities for treatment. India IVF is committed to meeting this need by making fertility services accessible across underserved areas.

Dr. Somendra Shukla, Co-Founder and CEO of India IVF, commented, “This partnership will empower us to expand our network and bring advanced fertility solutions to more communities. We look forward to making a positive impact on more families and growing India IVF into a trusted national brand.”

Dr. Richika Sahay, Co-Founder and Medical Director, added, “Approximately 30 million couples in India suffer from infertility, yet only 10% receive proper treatment due to limited access to fertility care. Our mission is to leverage technology and innovation to deliver quality, affordable, and empathetic fertility care to everyone. With Tomorrow Capital’s support, we are well-positioned to expand access to fertility care across North India.”

With Tomorrow Capital’s backing, India IVF is positioned to transform fertility care accessibility in India. By expanding its reach into underrepresented regions and harnessing technology to deliver patient-centered care, India IVF is set to redefine standards in the country’s fertility landscape, supporting couples across North India on their paths to parenthood.

ADT estimates it can save more than $3 million over four years and improve application performance by 25 percent by migrating business-critical applications to Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud

Oracle Cloud HCM automatically answers 90 percent of ADT’s basic HR inquiries

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oracle AI World — ADT Inc. (NYSE: ADT), the trusted leader in smart home security solutions, is expanding its use of AI with Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud and Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. To reduce infrastructure costs, improve application performance, strengthen data security, and bring business data closer to its analytics and AI tools, ADT moved critical applications to Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud. In addition, ADT is leveraging the extensive AI capabilities in Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) to answer employees’ routine HR questions and help managers complete performance reviews faster.

“To develop more intelligent, proactive protection, we need to make it easier for our teams to put critical data to work,” said Dave Scott, executive vice president and chief people and administration officer, ADT. “By using Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud, we are bringing that data closer to the tools our teams use to develop and test new ideas. With Oracle Fusion Applications, we are also using AI to help improve HR outcomes. For example, our new hires get the guidance they need while our managers gain more time to support their teams.”

Bringing Critical Data Closer to AI and Analytics
ADT estimates that moving its billing, tax, and order management applications to Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud can save more than $3 million over four years and improve application performance by 25 percent. The move also brings data from those applications closer to ADT’s Google BigQuery data warehouse, making it more accessible for planned AI projects using Gemini Enterprise. Keeping the data next to the Google Cloud services that use it can also simplify data management, accelerate analyses, and reduce the need to move or duplicate sensitive information. ADT also uses Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service to help secure and protect critical data, and Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture to enhance availability and disaster recovery of its databases deployed across the three Google Cloud regions it currently uses.

Improving the Employee Experience with AI
With more than 5,000 new hires each year, ADT wanted to give employees a more consistent experience, allow managers to spend more time with their teams, and reduce integration work across its systems. To meet these goals, ADT selected Oracle Cloud HCM, part of Oracle Fusion Applications, to bring HR processes and data together on one platform and take advantage of the latest AI capabilities.

With the AI capabilities in Oracle Cloud HCM, ADT has been able to automate responses to 90 percent of basic HR inquiries. In addition, Oracle Cloud HCM has enabled ADT to reduce HR support tickets by 26 percent, giving HR specialists more time for workforce planning and supporting complex employee needs. For managers, the AI-assisted tools in Oracle Cloud HCM save two to three hours per direct report during performance review cycles. ADT has also built a predictive turnover model in Oracle Cloud HCM that helps leaders identify potential attrition risks by job group and location.

“ADT is taking a practical approach to AI that is delivering results today while creating new opportunities for innovation,” said Nathan Thomas, senior vice president, product management, Oracle. “By bringing critical data closer to its AI and analytics tools, ADT is creating new opportunities to move faster and innovate, while its use of AI in HR is already giving employees more time to focus on higher-value work. Together, these efforts will help ADT continue to deliver smarter, more proactive protection for its customers.”

ADT’s migration to Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud was supported by the Google Solution Line at Insight and Oracle Consulting.

New Oracle Acceleron capabilities help customers move data efficiently, keep distributed AI workloads running, and securely scale multi-tenant clusters

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oracle AI World — Oracle today announced new capabilities in Oracle Acceleron, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure‘s (OCI) suite of networking and infrastructure technologies that help customers run demanding AI workloads reliably, securely, and at scale.

The latest additions build on OCI’s continued investments in high-performance connectivity, network architecture, host-level acceleration, and security and give customers more flexibility across compute and storage while improving the network’s ability to adapt to changing conditions.

“AI infrastructure can be unforgiving when it comes to network friction,” said Pradeep Vincent, executive vice president, Compute and AI Infrastructure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “When thousands of accelerators are working together, one congested or failed path can have consequences far beyond a single connection. With Oracle Acceleron, we are building a network that can respond by rerouting traffic, recovering from failures, and helping customers scale securely.”

Oracle Acceleron combines dedicated network fabrics, more direct data paths, and a converged NIC to boost performance and lower cost, with host-level zero-trust routing and multi-planar designs to strengthen security and resilience. Its unique software architecture simplifies complex networking operations through a programmable foundation that unifies advanced networking, storage, and security capabilities across a broad range of hardware.

New capabilities span AI data movement, distributed AI communication, and secure multi-tenant AI infrastructure:

AI Data Movement

Oracle Acceleron High-Performance Fabric: Helps customers deploy inference, storage, and HPC workloads with greater performance through RDMA connectivity on OCI front-end compute.Expanded NVMe Block-storage Attachment Options: Helps customers support AI, database, and other data-intensive workloads with NVMe block storage across Oracle Acceleron bare metal and VM shapes improving performance up to 3x.

Distributed AI Communication

Oracle Collective Communications Library: Helps customers keep distributed AI workloads running when network paths fail by spreading collective traffic across OCI’s backend Multiplanar Network. It steers traffic toward healthier paths and helps workloads instantaneously recover when links, ports, or NICs fail, significantly improving the network availability and resilience.Transparent Front-End Multiplanar Networking: Helps customers improve resiliency across compute infrastructure by bringing multiplanar networking to front-end networks, with built-in transparent path selection and failover, as well as transparent congestion control for front-end RDMA traffic.
