Medical equipment startup Pulse has secured $4 million in a seed funding round led by 3one4 Capital. The round also saw participation from Incubate Fund Asia, Stride Ventures, and several angel investors.
According to the company, the fresh capital will be used to establish a dedicated R&D hub, speed up product development, obtain necessary regulatory certifications, and expand its distribution network across India.
Founded in 2025 by Anshul Sharma and Nishant Goel, Pulse operates as a full-stack medical equipment manufacturing company. It designs, sources, and delivers affordable and globally compliant medical equipment and consumables. The startup works closely with India’s MSME manufacturing ecosystem and adds layers of product design, quality control, regulatory compliance, after-sales service, and market access.
Based in Bengaluru, Pulse is currently focused on low- and mid-complexity medical equipment and consumables. Its long-term goal is to build a large horizontal OEM (original equipment manufacturer) from India that can serve multiple product categories for both domestic and international markets.
The opportunity in this sector is significant. The global medical devices market is estimated to be worth over $550 billion, highlighting the scale of demand for reliable and affordable equipment worldwide.
Pulse aims to bridge gaps in the current system by bringing together MSME manufacturers under one structured platform. The company standardizes products, ensures compliance with quality and regulatory norms, and builds a service-backed brand supported by strong distribution. Its integrated operating model combines engineering, supply chain management, compliance, and go-to-market execution.
In its early phase, Pulse is targeting mid-sized hospitals with 50 to 200 beds across India. The company is initially focusing on categories such as critical care and renal care, offering dependable and cost-effective solutions. Over time, it plans to expand into larger hospitals and corporate hospital chains, while also widening its product portfolio across additional medical specialties.
With fresh funding and a clear roadmap, Pulse is positioning itself as an emerging player in India’s medical devices manufacturing space.
