The former cricketer has returned as an early investor and founding team member in Deepak Sahni’s latest AI-driven healthcare venture focused on tackling chronic diseases.
Strengthening long-standing partnership with Healthians founder Deepak Sahni, former Indian cricketer and entrepreneur Yuvraj Singh has now invested in UN:BLOC, the new AI-powered healthtechstartup. Singh has joined the company’s founding team, marking the continuation of a partnership that began more than a decade ago when he was among the earliest backers of Healthians.
The latest collaboration reflects a shared belief in using technology to reshape healthcare. While financial details of the investment have not been disclosed, the move has generated attention across India’s startup ecosystem, particularly as AI continues to transform the healthcare sector.
UN:BLOC aims to rethink chronic healthcare.
Headquartered in Gurugram, UN:BLOC is currently operating in stealth mode and has yet to publicly unveil its products or commercial model. However, the startup has indicated that its mission extends beyond managing illnesses. Instead, it aims to use artificial intelligence and data-driven healthcare to identify and address the underlying causes of chronic health conditions.
This approach reflects a broader trend in healthtech, where AI is increasingly being used to personalise treatment, improve preventive care and deliver more accurate health insights before diseases become severe.
The relationship between Yuvraj Singh and Deepak Sahni dates back to the early days of Healthians. Through his investment platform, YouWeCan Ventures, Singh supported the diagnostics startup at a time when at-home healthcare services were still an emerging concept in India.
Sahni acknowledged that early support played an important role in Healthians’ growth and described Singh’s return as both a personal and professional milestone. Their renewed partnership highlights the value of long-term investor-founder relationships, particularly in sectors where innovation often requires patience and sustained commitment.
Artificial intelligence has become a major focus for healthcare startups seeking to improve diagnosis, patient engagement and disease prevention. Investors are increasingly backing companies that combine medical expertise with advanced technologies to deliver scalable healthcare solutions.
UN:BLOC enters this rapidly evolving space at a time when demand for preventive healthcare and personalised medical services continues to grow. Although the company has not yet revealed its platform, industry observers expect AI to play a central role in its offerings once it officially launches.
