UnivLabs

What UnivLabs does

UnivLabs is an Indian medical technology company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Gurugram, India, with an additional R&D facility in Lille-Métropole, France (established April 2024). The company designs, develops, and manufactures medical devices across three integrated product domains: Laparoscopy Systems (4-Chip 4K ICG cameras, 3-CMOS and 1-CMOS 4K imaging suites, LED/NIR light sources, CO2 insufflators with smoke evacuation, medical pumps, HD/4K recorders, endoscopes, and a full range of hand instruments), Urology Fluid Management (amSafeX safety catheter and amSmartX UroWear wearable urine-collection system), and the Advanced Surgical Assistance System (ASAS) platform with a Collaborative Surgical Module (CSM) for real-time OR video streaming and remote expert consultation via integrated Jitsi conferencing. Technology is differentiated by a proprietary 4-Chip CMOS architecture for RGB and ICG fluorescence imaging, MTF optics, and 4K BT.2020 wide color gamut, with 16 patents (3 granted, 13 in process) and certifications including ISO 13485, ISO 9001, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and DSIR.

The company's business model is hardware sales to enterprise healthcare buyers — hospitals, multi-specialty centers, urology departments, and modern operating rooms — executed through direct field sales complemented by an extensive Indian channel partner network organized across four zones (East, West, North, South) with named distributors in 15+ states. Geographic reach spans 20+ countries including India, France, Russia, Brazil, and Southeast Asia, with the company claiming to power 2,000+ medical institutions and 200+ hospitals in underserved regions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the core commercial proposition is "half the cost of ownership" versus imported medical devices, enabled by domestic manufacturing, DSIR-registered R&D, and government support. Beyond product sales, the company runs the SUFI (Surgeons for Innovation) community platform, FOGSI-IAGE EAGLE endoscopic training workshops, and surgeon training seminars — using education-led community building as a parallel go-to-market channel. Founded and led by CEO Sunil Singh with co-founder Dr. Anil Mandhani and director Amitbir Singh, the company is privately held with an advisory bench that includes Ajit Manocha (ex-CEO, GlobalFoundries) and is constructing what it describes as the world's largest catheter and urine bag manufacturing plant.
