Gurugram-based healthcare startup Axten Hospitals has raised Rs 2.5 crore in its first seed funding round. The investment was led by PedalStart, along with support from a few angel investors. The company was founded by Gauttam Chhabra and was completely bootstrapped before this funding.
Investors have shown strong trust in Axten’s early performance and business model. They believe the startup is solving a real problem in India’s healthcare system—unclear pricing and lack of trust in surgical treatments.
Focus on Affordable and Transparent Surgeries
Axten Hospitals focuses on high-volume surgeries across areas like general surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology, urology, ENT, and oncology. Its biggest highlight is the “Honest Surgery Price” model, where patients are given fixed-price packages for surgeries.
This means patients know the full cost upfront and don’t have to worry about hidden charges later. The company aims to make surgeries more affordable, clear, and stress-free while maintaining good quality care. Its pilot centre in East of Kailash, New Delhi, has already shown strong results. In FY25, the facility generated around Rs 9 crore in revenue and was also EBITDA positive, proving that the model works well.
Expansion Plans and Future Goals
With the new funding, Axten plans to open three more hospital facilities in the next 12 months. The company will follow an asset-light model, focusing more on partnerships and operations instead of heavy investment in infrastructure. This will help new centres reach break-even within five to six months.
At the same time, Axten is working on a tech platform that will make the patient journey smoother—from finding doctors and checking prices to booking surgeries and managing follow-ups. In the long run, Axten aims to build a network of smart surgery hospitals across India. Over the next five years, it plans to reach Rs 250 crore in revenue and open over 25 facilities in major metro cities, where demand for quality and transparent surgical care is high.
