What Polo Labs does

Polo Labs is a Chandigarh, India-based pathology laboratory founded in 2006 that provides health diagnostics and laboratory testing services. As a standalone entity it operated with 51-100 employees, serving the regional diagnostic testing market in northern India. In 2024, Polo Labs was acquired by Thyrocare Technologies Limited, a publicly listed Indian diagnostic chain founded in 2000, and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary with its brand retained as part of Thyrocare's acquisition integration strategy.

Under Thyrocare, Polo Labs' operations are being integrated into a national diagnostic platform that operates 29 NABL-accredited owned labs (India's first fully NABL-accredited chain), 35+ regional processing labs, and a franchise network exceeding 10,100 active partners offering home sample collection within 60 minutes. The combined platform offers a 1,200+ test menu, including the Aarogyam series of comprehensive health checkup packages (variants 1.1 through 1.8, X, and XL), HerCheck women's health packages, disease-specific tests (thyroid, diabetes, heart, cancer, fever, allergies, STDs, PCOD), full body checkups, Jaanch packages, age and gender-specific screenings, radiology imaging services, and food handler FSSAI-certified testing. Quality credentials include NABL, CAP, and ISO 9001 certifications.

The combined revenue model spans direct-to-consumer test package sales, B2B corporate and channel partnerships, an affiliate/DSA referral program, food safety compliance testing, and franchise-partner service fees. Thyrocare's Q2 FY26 consolidated revenue was ₹217 million, with the partnership business growing at 35% year-over-year. Management has identified GLP-1 weight loss therapy monitoring packages and international expansion (Tanzania) as forward growth vectors.
