The Practo US market launch reflects a bold and measured move into the world’s most complex healthcare economy. Since quietly starting operations in April 2025, the company has quickly grown to cross 300,000 monthly active users.
Now operating as a focused healthcare navigation platform in the US, it focuses on high-demand segments like dental and mental health. This organic growth confirms the global appeal and scalability of technology built in India.
Parallel to its Western expansion, Practo is a key player in the UAE healthcare digital transformation. Since its mid-2025 launch in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, it has transformed Practo UAE doctor discovery by providing 24/7 access to trusted clinics. The platform fixes the gap for the large Indian diaspora by enabling cross-border consultations that connect patients in the Gulf with specialists in India.
The Practo global expansion strategy is built on financial stability and data-led outcomes. CEO Shashank ND said the US launch shows the technology can address complex trust and navigation challenges worldwide. To support this plan, the company is moving its legal domicile back to India by February 2026. This step aligns with its goal to appoint IPO bankers and list on the bourses in the second half of the year.
The current model is significantly stronger than earlier versions and goes beyond basic listings to a complete “Care Navigation” system. Key improvements include AI-based symptom triaging and the release of Patient-Reported Outcome Metrics, or PROMs, which indicate an 80% recovery rate among users.

From a market viewpoint, Practo has evolved from a simple middleman into a strong, outcomes-driven platform. Its ability to achieve profitability, posting its first operating EBITDA profit of Rs. 15 crore in FY25, while expanding into demanding markets such as the US and UAE, shows rare success across the health-tech sector globally.
For users and investors alike, this shift from a listing service to an accountable care coordinator positions Practo as a platform ahead of its planned 2026 IPO.
