“Through collaboration with the erstwhile players, we’ll make sure that no preventive or chronic user of healthcare has unanswered questions around must-know personalised information,” the founders noted.

NirogGyan started as a bootstrapped venture and says its tech platform has got strong traction in the market.

At NirogGyan, we are breaking barriers to information accessibility by enabling pathlabs to rethink their businesses and actually deliver the power of data & simplified technology to the last person in the queue."
