Aldun

What Aldun does

Aldun is a Bangalore-based hospital discharge automation platform operated by TrustBridge Technology Private Limited, founded in 2022. The company partners directly with 50+ leading Indian hospital networks—including Fortis, Aster, Manipal, Apollo, Cloudnine, KIMS, and Narayana—to reduce patient discharge turnaround time to approximately 10 minutes from final bill preparation. Aldun serves two primary segments: hospitals seeking operational efficiency through faster bed rotation, reduced administrative burden, and improved patient satisfaction scores, and insurance patients seeking hassle-free checkout. The platform also enables non-empanelled hospitals to offer cashless-like experiences to insurance patients through flexible subvention and end-to-end reimbursement filing.

The core technology combines a discharge automation workflow integrated with hospital billing and insurance systems, a WhatsApp-based claims filing service for pre- and post-hospitalization reimbursement (with a 100% refund guarantee on rejected claims), and a line of credit feature facilitated through NBFC partners Prateek Securities and Supergrowth Investments. Aldun places dedicated on-ground teams at each partner hospital to coordinate insurance processing, and supplements this with iOS and Android mobile apps for patient self-serve. The architecture is essentially workflow orchestration plus financial intermediation rather than a deep technology stack.

Aldun's revenue model blends two streams: transaction fees on healthcare financing facilitation (loan origination through NBFC/Bank lending partners, governed by separate loan documents) and one-time service fees for pre/post hospitalization claims processing inclusive of GST. The company operated at a scale of approximately 10,000 patient discharges per month across 10+ Indian cities and over ₹100 crore in total patient reimbursements. In January 2026, Aldun was acquired by Gurugram-based healthcare fintech Care.fi (backed by Peak XV) to integrate last-mile discharge orchestration with Care.fi's revenue cycle management and financing rails; Care.fi subsequently announced an $8 million Series A in February 2026 referencing the acquisition.
