What earKART does

earKART (Earkart Limited, BSE: 544549) is a Noida-headquartered, publicly listed digital hearing care platform incorporated in 2021. The company operates a two-sided marketplace that connects hearing-impaired patients across India with a network of certified audiologist partner clinics, supplemented by tele-audiology remote consultation services. Its product portfolio spans its proprietary OMNI patented hearing technology, multiple in-house hearing aid lines (Radius series in 8/12/16-channel variants, Fame series including super-power variants, EQFY, TINY), diagnostic kits (TLM, MSIED, Hearing Aid Test System), and mobility aids, with products offered in BTE, RIC, ITC, ITE, CIC, and IIC form factors. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer booking through the website and toll-free number with a dealer partner network onboarded via a CRM portal, plus government procurement via the GeM platform.

earKART makes money primarily through hardware sales of its branded hearing aids, complemented by marketplace lead-generation services to audiologist partners, sales of accessories and diagnostic kits, and government bulk-supply contracts. Pricing is quote-based through the dealer network rather than publicly listed. Founder and CEO Rohit Misra (former MD of Starkey India) anchors the company alongside CFO Ajay Kumar Giri (ex-Starkey Laboratories India) and Director Rahul Salesha (also ex-Starkey), with brand credibility reinforced by Ashneer Grover (BharatPe co-founder) as a backer. The company is led by a hearing-healthcare-experienced team with a Guinness World Record for hearing aid fittings and is backed by pre-Series A funding from Agility Ventures, Blume Ventures, and z21 Ventures (May 2023), with a recent BSE listing completed in 2026.

Broad incumbents

• Starkey Hearing Technologies: Global hearing aid manufacturer and one of the 'Big Five'. earKART's founder and CFO are ex-Starkey India, and Starkey defines the device category and clinical standards earKART's product lines must match.
• Sonova (Phonak, Unitron): Global hearing aid leader through Phonak and Unitron. Competes head-on with earKART on premium BTE/RIC technology and represents the dominant supply-side benchmark in the Indian premium segment.
• WS Audiology (Signia, Widex): Owner of Signia, Widex and other hearing aid brands. Competes with earKART across price tiers in India and is a key alternative for audiology clinics that join earKART's partner network.
• GN Hearing (ReSound, Beltone, Jabra): Major hearing aid group behind ReSound and Beltone, both present in India. Represents another global incumbent whose devices and clinic models set the competitive bar for earKART's marketplace.
• Demant (Oticon, Bernafon, Sonic): Parent of Oticon and Bernafon, both active in the Indian hearing care market. Competes with earKART for audiologist partnerships and end-customer device sales.

Direct peers

• hear.com: Digital-first hearing care platform that combines tele-audiology consultation, multi-brand device supply, and a partner-clinic model. Highly comparable to earKART's marketplace + tele-audiology + multi-brand SKU strategy, although primarily US/Europe focused.
• Eargo: Direct-to-consumer, virtually invisible hearing aids sold online with remote audiologist support. Closest direct peer in combining DTC hearing aids with tele-audiology, serving as a US analogue of earKART's digital funnel.
• Lexie Hearing: OTC/DTC hearing aid brand offering subscription-style hearing aids with remote audiology support and partner clinic fittings. Closely mirrors earKART's online booking, tele-audiology, and certified partner fitting approach.

Emerging players

• Olive Union: Japan-based hearing tech startup selling smart, app-connected hearing aids direct to consumers. Comparable to earKART on DTC/tech-enabled hearing aids, though focused on premium lifestyle positioning.

Regional players

• TruHearing: US hearing-care benefits and discount platform that connects members with partner clinics and devices. Comparable marketplace-plus-clinic-network model to earKART, though anchored in US health-insurance rather than Indian retail.
