Axten Hospitals has raised Rs 2.5 crore in its first structured funding round led by PedalStart, with participation from angel investors. The startup plans to use the capital to launch three new hospital facilities over the next 12 months through an asset-light model, focusing on partnerships, branding, legal setup, and working capital.
Building standardised, tech-enabled surgical care
Founded by Gauttam Chhabra, Axten operates specialised surgical facilities designed around standardised care delivery, operational efficiency, and fixed pricing. It also plans to launch a technology platform for patient discovery, booking, and post-operative care, strengthening its digital layer.
Strong early traction with profitable operations
The startup launched its pilot facility in East of Kailash, New Delhi, in FY25, and reported Rs 9 crore in revenue in its first year while remaining EBITDA positive. It focuses on high-volume procedures across general surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology, urology, ENT, and oncology.
Fixed pricing model to improve transparency
Axten’s core proposition is its “Honest Surgery Price” model, offering fixed-price surgical packages to reduce surprise billing and improve patient trust in healthcare services.
Expansion roadmap and long-term vision
The company aims to build a network of 25+ facilities across the top five metro cities and target Rs 250 crore in revenue over the next five years, positioning itself in India’s evolving organised surgical care market.
