The portfolio is now expanding into critical care and anaesthesia under the Zephaire brand.

The business model is hardware sales of consumable medical devices, priced by unit (e.g., AV fistula needles in packs of 500 pairs, dialysers in packs of 24, blood tubing sets in packs of 25) on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis, with custom configurations of blood tubing sets available. Go-to-market combines a 70+ person direct sales force operating from 9 regional offices across India, 200+ dealers and distributors, an own digital E-Store, and GEM (Government e-Marketplace) listings. Products are exported to SAARC countries, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and North and Sub-Saharan Africa, with certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, WHO GMP, CE) supporting cross-border sales. Customers are dialysis centres, hospitals, clinics, government healthcare institutions, nephrologists, and ESRD patients across India and emerging markets; the value proposition centers on a complete renal care product range from a single manufacturer at affordable price points while meeting global quality standards.
