Naluri targets Philippines, Vietnam expansion after funding boost

Naluri, a digital employee health and wellbeing company in Southeast Asia, has raised USD 5 million in the latest tranche of its Series B equity round. The funding was led by TELUS Global Ventures through the Pollinator Fund for Good, the strategic impact investment arm of Canadian communications technology company TELUS. Existing investors, including Sumitomo Corporation Equity Asia and M Venture Partners, also participated.

This brings Naluri’s total Series B funding to USD 14 million, including earlier tranches. According to the company, the latest investment will be used for working capital with the aim of achieving profitability within 12 months, and to support expansion into new Asian markets, starting with the Philippines and Vietnam.

Naluri currently operates in Indonesia and Malaysia, where it works with enterprise clients in sectors such as banking and insurance, energy and mining, telecommunications and technology, transport and logistics, professional services, and the BPO industry.

It has also expanded into Singapore and Thailand and secured pan-Asian and global clients for its programmes, which combine mental health support, preventive behavioural health, chronic disease management, health screenings, health promotion, coaching and consultation services, and 24/7 crisis support.

As part of the new funding round, TELUS Health has signed a commercial partnership agreement with Naluri to provide Employee Assistance Programme services across eight markets in the region. TELUS said the investment aligns with its strategy to expand digital health innovation globally, combining commercial scale with impact-driven capital.

Naluri said the continued investor interest reflects growing demand for digital health solutions in Southeast Asia, particularly as companies address rising healthcare costs while prioritising employee wellbeing.
