India’s prowess in the design and product engineering space is building a global reputation as a country offering innovative ideas and smarter products. The product engineering market is expanding at a swift pace, expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.36 percent for the forecast period of 2023–2028, as reported by Mckinsey & Company. Amongst the rising startup is Medgyor, an IIT Bombay-based product design startup, innovatively merging tech innovation and industrial production.
Currently incubated at TBI NIT Calicut, Kerala, with support from SINE IIT Bombay, BIRAC and KSUM, Medgyor specializes in healthcare product design and prototyping services. A synergistic team of industrial designers, engineers, doctors, and business analysts at Medgyor, leverages user experience and fundamental design principles to develop medical solutions that are universally accessible.
"Medgyor is committed to providing end-to-end solutions in areas such as healthcare products, scientific equipment design, product engineering, mobility design, prototyping, and batch production. Our dedication to serving clients with a customized industrial design and prototyping experience is what differentiates us from other product design firms. At Medgyor, we value design and engineering, ensuring they remain at the core of our operations," shares Dinoj Joseph, Founder, Medgyor.
Product & Services
Medgyor's product design services are a boon for the client's business. By offering aesthetic,
functional, and technical solutions for product development, they support the client's brand in solving problems through tangible product creation. Thoughtfully crafted designs aim to understand the user, context, and manufacturability. However, designing for healthcare introduces complexity due to the wide-ranging and associative approach required to deliver solutions, compounded by the regulatory challenges and ensuring manufacturability.
"Our services in healthcare and scientific product development equipment have gained significant recognition. We merge core scientific knowledge with a user-centric design approach to address the challenges we face. With this approach, we are confident that our product design and prototyping services can foster businesses with internationally acceptable products", notes Dinoj.
In addition to their primary services, Medgyor excels in prototyping using conventional and additive manufacturing techniques like 3D printing. This skill set enables them to deliver products in line with industrial standards. They have created high-quality proportional-scale models of automotive and marine vessels, with two of their mementos recently unveiled by the Prime Minister during the launch of INS Vikrant and the Kerala Water Metro.
Medgyor is also progressing in the development of two medical products aimed at providing sterile environments for surgical procedures. The first product is a portable operation room for performing general surgical procedures in resource-limited environments, such as defense and disaster management. The second product under development is a unit that can convert a hospital bed into an isolation unit suitable for treating burn injuries. These products are currently in the prototyping and testing phases.
We do products with core engineering knowledge & a user-centric design approach
Medgyor's focus extends beyond delivering quality products. They believe that problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn are just as important as academic performance or experience. This philosophy guides their team selection, forming a formidable team capable of tackling real-world obstacles. Medgyor equips its team with the finest skills and resources, including in-house facilities and training, to uphold the team's quality.
"Through strategic partnerships with esteemed national government institutes, PSUs, and industries, Medgyor has successfully delivered over 20 products and developed 30 prototypes within the last two years. Our future plans include launching new products in the healthcare domain and expanding our prototyping facility to include batch production. We also aim to expand our scale model business in the marine and aerospace sectors, reaching out to the GCC market along with the Indian market”, concludes Dinoj.
