Delhi Academy of Medical Sciences

What Delhi Academy of Medical Sciences does

Delhi Academy of Medical Sciences (DAMS) is a privately held medical education coaching company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Delhi with operations in Noida, India. The company delivers exam preparation courses for postgraduate medical entrance examinations including NEET PG, NEXT, INICET, NEET SS, and FMGE, alongside international licensing exams such as USMLE and PLAB, NEET MDS for dental graduates, and multiple nursing competitive exams including NORCET, CHO, DSSSB, SGPGI, ESIC, RBB, and KGMU. DAMS serves medical graduates, foreign medical graduates, dental graduates, nursing professionals, and postgraduate medical residents through structured courses spanning 30+ clinical specialties, delivered via a 101-250 person organization led by founder Dr. Sumer Sethi (MD, Radiologist, TedX speaker).

The platform is built on Cortex AI, launched in 2024 and marketed as India's first AI-powered medical education platform for personalized learning and exam preparation. Distribution combines a self-serve website (damsdelhi.com), iOS and Android mobile applications under the eMedicoz brand, and a franchise network for regional physical centers. The company uses a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led self-enrollment with inside sales triggered by a 'Request A Call Back' lead capture form, supported by outreach via call, SMS, email, and WhatsApp. Faculty comprises named clinical specialists across radiology, OBGYN, medicine, surgery, pediatrics, pathology, pharmacology, ophthalmology, dermatology, anesthesia, microbiology, PSM, ENT, orthopedics, and physiology.

Revenue is generated primarily through course fees for medical entrance exam preparation and specialized resident teaching programs, structured as recurring subscriptions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and conversion relies on sales-assisted outreach rather than posted pricing. DAMS is founder-led, with no disclosed external institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or publicly filed financial data.
