UAE - Mubasher: TERN Group, an AI-powered global talent mobility platform for healthcare professionals, has raised $24 million in Series A funding, according to a press release.
This investment positions the group at the center of the Gulf’s efforts to expand clinical capacity, bringing its total funding to $33 million.
The round was led by UK-based Notion Capital and UAE-based EQ2 Ventures, alongside RTP Global, LocalGlobe, Leo Capital, Presight Capital, and Tom Stafford, Co-Founder of DST Global.
Founded in 2023 by Dubai-based Avinav Nigam, TERN will utilize the fundraising to expand its regional operations, strengthen compliance automation, deepen partnerships with healthcare providers in the GCC, Europe, and the UK, and build the infrastructure of healthcare workforce management.
TERN Group provides a full-stack solution for training, certifying, and deploying healthcare professionals from 13 countries into high-demand global markets.
Avinav Nigam, Founder and CEO of TERN Group, noted: “We are building the infrastructure that makes global healthcare careers faster, fairer, and fully transparent. The GCC, and particularly the UAE, is a critical region for us as healthcare demand continues to accelerate.”
The UAE healthcare ecosystem is expected to spend more than $50 billion on healthcare by 2029, creating an increasing demand for skilled professionals.
TERN Group is working with UAE’s top hospitals and regulators to ensure a reliable pipeline of qualified Indian nurses and care workers to support this growth.
Krishna Ramkumar, Co-Founder and COO of TERN Group, said: “By ensuring rigorous compliance and international-standard training, we give healthcare employers in the GCC and beyond the confidence that they are hiring the right professionals at the right time.”
Currently, over 650,000 professionals from 13 countries are registered on the TERN platform, using it for transparent career pathways, upskilling, and direct access to jobs with trusted employers.
“Our AI makes the healthcare workforce system fast, efficient and productive,” Nigam added. “Our people make it sustainable. That combination is what builds long-term trust.”
