The fresh investment is possibly part of a larger funding round.

TechCircle had reported last September that 1mg was in talks with investors to raise up to $60 million in its largest funding round till date.

Existing investors Sequoia Capital India, Omidyar Network and Swiss healthcare-focused investment firm HBM Healthcare Investments had also put in money in that round.
