Jivi uses AI to assist in diagnosing conditions, suggesting treatments, generating health reports, and performing administrative tasks, the fund said in a statement, according to the report. This move comes as India's AI sector is expected to grow to over USD 22 billion by 2027, according to a Nasscom-BCG report released earlier this year. Within this growth, AI-based products and startups are expected to play a significant role, potentially accounting for 15-17 percent of the market.

Backed by Sequoia Capital and SoftBank Group, AI Fund has also invested in the podcast-production platform Podcastle and the investment-research application Octagon AI.

Reportedly, Andrew Ng, managing general partner at AI Fund, who previously led AI projects at Google and Baidu, joined Amazon's board in April.
