The Problem
Indian hospitals run inventory on gut feel.
Expired inventory — capital written off, compliance risk created.
Dead & non-moving stock — capital locked with zero visibility.
Gut-feel procurement — expensive last-minute sourcing, no intelligence.
MedikaCloud was built to be the intelligence layer none of them had — real time, SKU by SKU.
The Research
Before a single line of code, I met 100 hospital owners across India.
The insight that shaped everything · The Buyer ≠ The User
The CXO buys
Driven by ROI & savings — wants the ₹ leakage view, never a spreadsheet.
The procurement manager uses
Driven by daily operations — indenting, vendor follow-ups, GRN.
"One product, two entry points — the ROI-seeker and the daily operator. Designing for this duality became the winning strategy."
"Lead with savings — it turns the app from an expense into a revenue-protecting tool."
