Medishare

What Medishare does

Medishare Inc is a privately held medical device distribution company headquartered in New Delhi, India, founded in 1990 by R.M. Sharma (Rajni Mohan Sharma). The company imports, exports, sells, and markets healthcare and surgical disposables, operating as the exclusive India-based sales and marketing representative for approximately 20 international medical device manufacturers headquartered in the United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany. Its product portfolio spans cardiac and vascular surgery (Chase Medical shunts, LeMaitre ePTFE grafts, aortic punches, ePTFE sutures), neurosurgery (Rebstock aneurysm clips, Vycor brain access systems, Osteotec burr hole closures, DESU dural substitute), laparoscopic surgery (Unimax disposables, NIKO trocars), orthopedic surgery (arthroscopic ablators, E-DISK spine devices, saw blades), and general surgical consumables (Bort compression stockings, OBS Medical cautery pencils, ECG electrodes, pressure bags, warming blankets). NIKO is Medishare's registered proprietary brand in India covering a defined SKU range including FDA-approved skin staplers, electrosurgical flexible pens, bipolar forceps, suction irrigators, and pulse lavage systems.

The business model is exclusive agency distribution: Medishare contracts with international OEMs on an exclusive territorial basis for India and sells directly to hospital procurement, with field sales personnel based in major metropolitan cities to coordinate supply. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of consumables rather than recurring licenses or service contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company does not appear to manufacture, develop proprietary software, or hold patents. Its principal assets are the exclusive OEM agency contracts, the NIKO registered brand, and three decades of procurement relationships with major Indian hospital groups.

Customers include approximately 20+ large hospital groups across India, including Apollo, Medanta, Fortis, Max, AIIMS, Sir GangaRam Hospital, PGI Chandigarh, Artemis, Kokilaben Reliance, Aster, CMC Ludhiana, SMS Jaipur, B.M. Birla, and Dr. B.L. Kapur Hospital, as well as government/military medical accounts (Army RR, AIIMS, PGI). The company employs 11–50 people, is bootstrapped and founder-owned with no disclosed external investors, and has not undergone any documented funding rounds, acquisitions, or restructuring events since its 1990 founding.
