Southeast Asia’s leading digital employee health and wellbeing provider, Naluri Pte Ltd, has closed a USD 5 million Series B equity round, led by TELUS Global Ventures through its Pollinator Fund for Good. Existing backers — including Sumitomo Corporation Equity Asia and M Venture Partners — also participated.
The latest injection brings Naluri’s total Series B haul to USD 14 million, including earlier tranches. The fresh capital will be channelled towards working capital as the company targets profitability within a year, while accelerating its footprint into new Asian markets, starting with the Philippines and Vietnam.
“We are deeply honoured to have won the trust of our investors to scale this business model and reach the 1 million lives covered milestone,” said Azran Osman-Rani, Naluri’s Group CEO and Co-Founder. “Our team has weathered the macroeconomic storms of the past few years and delivered consistent positive unit economics. We’ve emerged stronger, smarter, and ready for strategic market expansion.”
Naluri has cemented its position in the employee wellbeing market in Indonesia and Malaysia, catering to major enterprise clients across banking, insurance, energy, mining, telecommunications, transport, logistics, professional services, and the BPO sector. The company has also expanded into Singapore and Thailand, and secured pan-Asian and global clients through its integrated offerings — spanning mental health, preventive behavioural health, chronic disease management, health screenings, health promotion programmes, multidisciplinary coaching, consultations, and 24/7 crisis support lines.
Alongside the investment, TELUS Health has entered into a commercial partnership with Naluri to deliver Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) services to clients across eight Southeast Asian markets.
“Our investment in Naluri allows us to expand our footprint in Southeast Asia while also demonstrating TELUS’ strategic commitment to leading the evolution of workplace mental health solutions globally,” said Terry Doyle, Managing Partner at TELUS Global Ventures. “Naluri’s holistic approach to employee wellbeing positions them perfectly to address the growing demand for integrated health solutions in workplaces across the region.”This strategic investment underscores TELUS’ vision of pairing commercial growth with measurable social impact, while highlighting the rising importance of digital health in curbing medical cost inflation and boosting productivity.
Naluri’s momentum reflects a broader trend: businesses across Southeast Asia are placing employee wellbeing at the heart of growth strategies, embracing digital tools to tackle healthcare challenges and support high-performance workplaces.
