After a grueling three-year journey involving 57 investor conversations, digital health startup Naluri has closed its $14 million Series B round. Now covering over 1 million lives across Southeast Asia, what does this hard-won capital mean for their future, and what lessons did their founder learn along the way?

CEO and Co-founder Azran Osman-Rani joins us to share the story of Naluri's path to scale. He discusses their integrated health model that combines mental and physical well-being, the strategic partnership with lead investor TELUS that is reshaping their expansion plans, and their roadmap to profitability within a year.

We discuss:

• How they scaled to cover over 1 million employees across Southeast Asia.

• Their integrated model connecting mental and physical health.

• AI’s potential to improve efficiency and productivity.
