The team

A lab that grew into a company.

Hridae began in the biomedical engineering labs at IIT (BHU) Varanasi. We kept meeting the same problem: the tools that catch heart and brain disease early rarely reach people far from a major hospital. In 2026 we started a company, with support from IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras, to build hardware, software and AI as modules that work alone and fit together.

Today we provide review software for research studies, and we work with clinicians who want to test what we build. Our devices are investigational, and a clinician makes every decision.

Soinik Ghosh
Co-Founder

Soinik Ghosh

Ph.D. Research Scholar, Biomedical Engineering, IIT (BHU) Varanasi

Soinik trained in physiology and neuroscience at the University of Calcutta, and is developing EEG tools for cognitive screening in a PhD at IIT (BHU), with the Department of Neurology, IMS BHU. At Hridae, Soinik leads software, AI and system design, including research-stage models and digital twins for precision cardiology. One question runs through the work: does a physiological marker measure what its name says, in this person, on this day?
