From India to the World: Healthify's Global Ambitions

So, what's all the hype about? Healthify, formerly known as HealthifyMe, isn't just another fitness app. It's a comprehensive platform that combines cutting-edge AI technology with personalized coaching to help users achieve their health goals.

With over 40 million users across 300 Indian cities already under its belt, Healthify is now setting its sights on international expansion, with the US being its first major target. This strategic move is fueled by the fresh funding, which will be used to tailor its AI capabilities to the American market, taking into account local nuances in language, food preferences, and cultural habits.
