Bengaluru based medical equipment startup Pulse has raised $4 million in a seed funding round led by 3one4 Capital, with participation from Incubate Fund Asia, Stride Ventures, and several angel investors.
Capital Deployment and Expansion Plans
The company said the fresh capital will be used to establish a dedicated R&D hub, accelerate product development, obtain regulatory certifications, and expand its distribution footprint across India.
Founded in 2025 by Anshul Sharma and Nishant Goel, Pulse operates as a full-stack medical equipment manufacturing platform. It designs, sources, and delivers affordable, globally compliant medical devices and consumables by leveraging India’s MSME manufacturing ecosystem.
Building a Horizontal Medical Equipment OEM
Pulse focuses on low and mid-complexity medical equipment categories, including critical care and renal care products. The company’s broader ambition is to build a large horizontal original equipment manufacturer (OEM) from India, catering to both domestic and international markets.
The global medical devices market is estimated to exceed $550 billion, presenting a significant opportunity for cost-efficient, compliant manufacturers emerging from India.
Pulse addresses existing industry gaps by aggregating fragmented MSME manufacturing capacity and standardising products through strong quality systems, regulatory frameworks, service infrastructure, and structured go-to-market execution. Its operating model integrates engineering, supply chain orchestration, compliance management, and distribution under a unified platform.
Targeting Mid-Tier Hospitals First
In its initial phase, Pulse is focusing on mid sized hospitals with 50–200 beds across India. The company aims to provide reliable, service backed equipment at competitive price points to institutions that often face procurement challenges.
Over time, Pulse plans to expand into larger hospital networks and corporate chains while diversifying into additional medical specialties and broadening its product portfolio.
With seed funding secured, Pulse is positioning itself as a scalable, compliance driven medical equipment platform aligned with India’s growing healthcare infrastructure and global export potential.
