The team

A lab that grew into a company.

Hridae began in the biomedical engineering labs of IIT (BHU) Varanasi, where its founders, M.Tech and PhD researchers, kept hitting the same wall: the tools to catch disease early lived inside hospitals, and almost never inside homes. In 2026 they turned that frustration into a startup, backed by IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras, to build an ecosystem of intelligent, next-generation medical devices, with hardware, software and AI engineered as one system. Our R&D runs deep across medical imaging, signal and image processing, instrumentation, sensor development, machine learning, generative AI and edge AI.

We share one goal: to democratize access to advanced healthcare through innovation, affordability and scientific excellence, so early diagnosis, monitoring and preventive care reach far more people, not only those who live within reach of a major hospital.
