What happened
Patients with kidney failure may need dialysis several times a week, often travelling long distances to hospitals. The Renal Project focuses on making dialysis more accessible through home and community-based care.
Healthcare businesses need trust, clinical quality and careful regulation. Bringing treatment closer to patients reduces travel costs and time — a strong value proposition — but requires trained staff and reliable equipment at many locations.
On Shark Tank India Season 1, The Renal Project closed a deal of ₹1 crore for 6% equity. The equity portion implies a valuation of about ₹16.67 crore for the business.
