Practo founder’s new healthtech startup Cent attracts funding from South Park Commons
Bengaluru-based health-tech startup Cent , co-founded by Practo founder Shashank ND, has raised funding from One-Flow Holdings, the family office of Shashank and venture firm South Park Commons to build its artificial intelligence-led early disease detection platform.The startup has been operational since the first quarter of FY26 and has completed more than 1,500 scans. Cent’s platform is built around a proprietary screening protocol called CCNM (cardiac, cancer, neurological, and metabolic). This combines full body MRI, cardiac CT, ECG, DEXA scans, more than 120 blood and urine biomarkers, and genomic testing. This data is analysed using artificial intelligence (AI) and reviewed by radiologists and specialists to generate a detailed organ-level report.With the newly raised capital, the company plans to open dedicated early detection centres across major Indian cities. The first is expected to open in Bengaluru in April, followed by Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad.
