Medfin currently operates in some of the major cities and offers 250+ day care surgical procedures. Medfin was founded in 2017  by Arjun Kumar, Arun Kumar, and Sidharth Gurjar. They realized that India’s thriving healthcare sector is one of the largest markets in the world. Within the sector, they noticed that surgery was a core component. With valuable experience and backgrounds in the consumer internet and healthcare space, the trio have worked together previously.

Innovation and advances in clinical approaches and technology have enabled numerous procedures to migrate into the ambulatory care or daycare setting.

At Medfin we combine value-based care, advanced technology, and superior patient experience to deliver better health outcomes while containing costs.”

Medfin is simplifying this by providing a one-stop-shop which handholds the patient across one's journey with a standardized service. Balancing access with great outcomes enables patient trust! This is key to Medfin and sets them apart from other such providers.”
