5C Network, founded by Kalyan Sivasailam and Syed Ahmed, allows users to store, generate and interpret radiology images across India, and helps hospitals to generate higher returns on their radiology infrastructure.
In March last year, online healthcare firm Tata 1mg has made strategic investment in 5C Network for an undisclosed amount.
5C had secured nearly $4.6 million in a Series A funding round led by venture capital firm Celesta Capital, with participation from Unitus Ventures and Axilor Ventures.

“To make diagnostics accurate, accessible and affordable, our new suite of AI products will be a massive leap in becoming the world’s first truly AI-driven diagnostics platform,” said Sivasailam.
“As a team, we have faced the challenge and impact of delayed, incorrect and unactionable diagnosis, and we believe that our deep expertise in AI, ML, Deep Learning and data engineering is an essential piece of the puzzle when solving better diagnostics,” said Krayen’s co-founder Subramanian.
