Niramai: An Indian Healthtech Startup Rethinking Early Cancer Detection

Early detection remains one of the biggest challenges in cancer care, particularly in countries like India where access to regular screening is limited. Niramai is tackling this problem using a technology-first approach that does not rely on expensive or invasive procedures.

Founded by a technologist-turned-entrepreneur, Niramai has developed an AI-based breast cancer screening solution that uses thermal imaging combined with machine learning. The idea is simple but powerful: make early detection more accessible, affordable, and comfortable, especially for women in semi-urban and rural areas.

What makes Niramai an upcoming startup to watch is not aggressive expansion, but steady adoption across hospitals and diagnostic centres. As preventive healthcare gains importance in India, solutions like Niramai’s could play a crucial role in reshaping how screening is delivered at scale.
