Hyderabad-based audiology chain Hearing Solution (Hearzap) has secured Rs 50 crore (~$6 million) in Series A funding from 360 One Healthcare Opportunities Fund, a private equity (PE) fund specialising in healthcare and life sciences under 360 ONE Asset.

In exchange for a minority stake, the funds secured from 360 One Healthcare Opportunities Fund will be deployed to scale up Hearzap’s operations across the country over the next three years.

The Hyderabad-based firm provides a digital suite of applications for remote diagnostics and virtual shopping experiences. It operates more than 90 audiology clinics that also serve as hearing experience stores in seven states, offering hearing care with a team of over 100 audiologists.
