GURUGRAM: Curelink, the Gurugram health startup founded in 2021, now runs its consumer service as Disha, an app it calls an AI health coach for people living with diabetes, thyroid disorders, PCOS and other long-term conditions. The company's official about page says Disha has passed 70 lakh sign-ups and offers coaching in Hindi, English and Hinglish around the clock.
The app is the product of Curelink Private Limited, whose company address is in Sector 27, Gurugram. Its site says the startup is backed by Elevation Capital and General Catalyst.
How Curelink became Disha
According to the about page, Curelink was started by Divyansh Jain and Aman Singla. Both kept seeing the same gap: a patient gets a diagnosis and a prescription, and then is left alone once they walk out of the hospital gate. The doctor has about fifteen minutes. The rest of the month, what to eat, when to eat and what to do if a symptom changes, is handled through WhatsApp groups and web searches.
For the next five years, the company says, Curelink built a dietitian-led clinical network with registered dietitians, condition-wise protocols, structured follow-ups and outcome tracking, working with hospitals and clinics. The team concluded that handing over a plan once changed little, and that daily small nudges in the patient's own language, built around food cooked at home, made the real difference. Disha is that same clinical setup opened up to everyone through an app.
The conditions covered on the site are diabetes, thyroid, PCOS, sexual wellness, weight management, menopause and hair loss. The company publishes figures of 14 million messages sent, 11 million minutes coached, 21 TB of health data and more than 1,000 condition protocols, along with ratings of 4.8 on the App Store and 4.6 on Google Play. It also says more than 3 lakh Indians get coaching from Disha every day. These are company figures and have not been independently audited.
How the app works and its limits
Disha says the app is a free download. After sign-up, the service calls the user for a 15 to 20 minute onboarding conversation, after which a plan begins, followed by daily coaching and tracking. The site's articles section carries condition guides such as Indian diet plans for diabetes, PCOS and hypothyroidism.
The company is clear about what Disha is not. Its contact page says Disha is a wellness and coaching product, that messages are not medical advice, diagnosis, prescription or emergency response, and that the inbox is not monitored 24 hours a day. It tells users with urgent concerns to contact their doctor or local emergency services. That disclaimer matters for any reader thinking of using an app to manage a chronic condition: coaching can help with habits, but medicines and dose changes stay with a doctor.
Data handling is the other question. Disha's privacy policy includes a section on India-specific consent and data protection, and the company names a grievance officer at its Gurugram address for requests to access, correct or delete data. Users should read what they are agreeing to before sharing reports and health readings.
Health apps are a growing part of Indian tech. We have covered the public infrastructure behind them in our report on Arogya Manthan 2026 and ABDM's secure data environment, and device-led monitoring in our story on Kardi AI's long-term ECG monitoring. Wearable buyers may also find our note on the Fitbit Air India price useful.
The pitch is aimed at a real problem. India has one of the world's largest populations of people with diabetes, and many patients see a doctor only a few times a year. An app that sends daily reminders about meals, walks and medicine timings in the patient's own language could fill part of that gap, as long as users keep their doctor in the loop.
For Gurugram, Curelink is one of a handful of home-grown consumer health startups operating at national scale. The company lists support@cure.link for app support and asks media to write to the same address with "Press" in the subject line.
