Arintra secures $21m Series A funding led by Peak XV for AI medical coding

Arintra, a GenAI-powered medical coding platform for healthcare providers, has raised $21 million in Series A funding led by Peak XV Partners, with Endeavor Health Ventures, Y Combinator, and others participating. The funds will support nationwide adoption, accelerate product development, expand the team, and establish a Bay Area headquarters to meet growing demand. 'Reimbursement in healthcare is fundamentally broken. Payers are moving fast, using policy and technology to shift more burden onto providers, but autonomous coding hasn't kept up,' said Nitesh Shroff, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Arintra. 'We built Arintra to help healthcare providers secure compliant revenue at scale while easing the burden on frontline teams.' Tight margins and rising complexity The company said healthcare organisations face tighter margins, coder shortages, and complex payer demands. New policies have further strained reimbursements, driving demand for proactive automation to help providers navigate an increasingly challenging environment. Arintra said it delivers revenue assurance through a proactive, outcomes-driven approach, ensuring health systems receive accurate, efficient reimbursement. 'At Arintra, we bring together autonomous medical coding, clinical documentation improvement, and denial prevention in a single platform,' said Preeti Bhargava, Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer, Arintra. 'By helping providers document what was done, code what was documented, and properly support what was charged, we enable them to secure full, compliant reimbursement at a lower cost, with fewer delays and significantly less manual effort.' Client results and ROI Arintra also helped Reid Health improve accounts receivable speed and coding accuracy. 'We chose Arintra because it integrates deeply with Epic and changed how we code without disrupting our workflows. We went from billing delays and high denials to faster A/R and fully automated charge capture. It is one of the few AI tools that delivers hard ROI, fast,' said Muhammad Siddiqui, Chief Information Officer at Reid Health. Mohit Bhatnagar, Managing Director, Peak XV Partners, said: 'The disruption of the $150 billion healthcare reimbursements industry will be one of AI's defining impacts. Arintra's autonomous system tackles one of the hardest challenges for providers: translating clinical documentation into accurate insurance codes so they get paid fairly and fast. After backing Nitesh and Preeti at seed through our Surge programme, Peak XV Partners is excited to double down and lead Arintra's Series A round.' Arintra's GenAI platform combines large language models and clinical knowledge graphs to apply specialty-specific coding with precision. The fully explainable, auditable codes integrate with electronic health records such as Epic and Athena, operating seamlessly within existing clinical workflows.

Perfios Launches CAM AI, Powers 85% Faster Underwriting

Increases loan processing capabilities in Banks and NBFCs by up to 2X Bengaluru, Karnataka, India – Business Wire India India's leading B2B SaaS TechFin, has unveiled CAM AI, an AI-powered credit underwriting platform that is transforming lending operations across banks and NBFCs globally. Tailored for complex credit assessment, CAM AI reduces underwriting turnaround time by up to 85%, compressing multi-day credit assessment processes into just hours, enabling banks and NBFCs to process up to 2X more loan applications with existing teams. Built on top of Perfios' trusted AI/ML models and enriched with its proprietary GenAI and agentic tooling, CAM AI delivers specialised intelligence at scale. By fusing domain-specific LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic algorithms, the platform performs expert-level credit analysis, autonomously extracting, interpreting, and reconciling data across financial documents in real time. Traditional underwriting, especially for high-value loans like business loans, home loans, and loans against property, requires skilled credit analysts to manually triangulate across statements, GST filings, bank data, and financial ratios. This results in bottlenecks that hurt both lenders and borrowers- especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), for whom timely access to capital is business-critical. CAM AI replaces weeks of manual processing with hours of intelligent automation, transforming Credit Assessment Memo generation into a real-time, audit-ready workflow. 'We've architected CAM AI specifically for the demands of regulated financial environments," said Sumit Nigam, Chief Technology Officer at Perfios. 'While we use large language models for advanced reasoning, we layer them with specialised engines for financial calculations, document verification, and regulatory compliance. Every insight is backed by source traceability, analysts can see exactly which document led to which conclusion. This hybrid approach delivers audit-ready reliability, analytical depth, and safeguards against the unpredictability of generic LLMs." CAM AI integrates seamlessly into Perfios' broader ecosystem, turning legacy workflows into GenAI-first, intelligent decisioning engines. With real-time financial analysis, contextual business logic, and autonomous document understanding, the platform ensures even junior analysts can operate at the level of a seasoned credit veteran, driving consistency, speed, and scalability across lending teams. Perfios recently also unveiled its Gen AI powered intelligence stack comprising four solutions that are transforming the BFSI industry by increasing the operational productivity upto 3x.
