The firm

Healthcare-only, since 2016.

We build patient-acquisition systems for hospitals, clinics, and physicians. Not a generalist agency that also does healthcare — a healthcare firm that happens to ship marketing.

The story

Ten years, six chapters.

  1. 2016

    The bet

    Two-person studio in Gurugram. Bet everything on healthcare-only specialization while every other agency went generalist.

  2. 2018

    First hospital line

    Apollo Indraprastha cardiology engagement. The pattern emerged: vertical depth beats horizontal breadth.

  3. 2020

    AI receptionist

    Built the first WhatsApp + voice + chat triage stack for a multi-location IVF chain. Response latency from hours to seconds.

  4. 2022

    International intake

    Cross-border medical-tourism programmes: multi-country reach, multilingual SEO, escrow trust, end-to-end international patient acquisition.

  5. 2024

    US offices

    La Mesa (CA) for general operations; Tampa (FL) for the mental-health pod. Three timezones, one clinical voice.

  6. 2026

    Today

    80+ specialists. 350+ healthcare brands. 40+ specialties. Still healthcare-only. Still AI-first.

Founder's note

Founder's note
