In a remarkable tale of innovation and determination, Rajat Jain from Dehradun has transformed the landscape of cardiac care in India. Leveraging the support of the Startup India mission, he founded a company dedicated to slashing the costs of heart disease diagnostics, making life-saving tests accessible to millions.
Jain’s journey began with a simple yet profound observation: advanced heart monitoring technologies were prohibitively expensive for the average Indian. Drawing from his engineering background, he identified key bottlenecks in existing devices and set out to create affordable alternatives. With seed funding and mentorship from Startup India, his venture quickly gained momentum.
The company’s flagship product is a portable, AI-powered device that detects early signs of cardiac issues with lab-level accuracy at a fraction of the cost. Priced under ₹500 per test, it uses smartphone integration for instant results, empowering rural clinics and urban households alike.
Government recognition came swiftly. Jain’s startup received grants under the Atal Innovation Mission and incubation at a premier Dehradun tech park. Today, the company partners with over 200 hospitals across Uttarakhand and northern India, screening thousands monthly.
‘Our goal is to prevent heart attacks before they happen,’ Jain says. ‘Startup India gave us the wings to fly.’ Experts predict this model could save billions in healthcare costs nationwide.
As India battles a rising tide of cardiovascular diseases—claiming over 2 million lives annually—innovators like Jain offer hope. His success underscores the power of government-backed entrepreneurship in addressing public health crises.
