About GRAINPAD Private

GRAINPAD Private Limited is a research and innovation company operating in the health-tech sector, leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Rohit Sharma and Raj Kumar Sehgal, the Delhi-based startup aims to make quality medical advice accessible and affordable. Dr. Sharma, a qualified physician, was motivated to start the company after observing that many people in India lacked access to reliable medical information, often relying on unlicensed practitioners.

The company's flagship product is ZINI, an AI-driven, voice-based virtual physician. This medical chatbot can conduct a full diagnostic interview based on initial symptoms, ask relevant follow-up questions, and provide a preliminary diagnosis. ZINI also suggests the urgency of the situation, the type of specialist needed, and available treatment options. The technology is designed to be integrated into hospital and clinic apps and websites (B2B) or used directly by consumers (B2C). For B2B clients, it serves to automate patient history collection and organize information for doctors. The B2C model offers a certain number of free evaluations before moving to a subscription plan. The company's clients include hospitals and telehealth platforms in India, the UAE, and the United States.

Beyond ZINI, GRAINPAD offers B2B services including data analytics, automation solutions, and chatbot design and integration. The company is also developing other products, such as TOBI, an autonomous logistics robot for warehouses, and Project ROBODOC, which will use medical sensors and computer vision to perform basic physical examinations. The company raised an undisclosed seed funding amount in November 2021.
