Medtech firm launches Centre of Excellence at IIT Jodhpur technology park

The collaboration is a step towards making India self-reliant in the manufacturing of medical devices.  

Johari Digital Healthcare Ltd (JDHL), a global medtech company, has launched the Johari Centre of Excellence (CoE) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur technology park. The collaboration is a step towards making India self-reliant in the manufacturing of medical devices.  

Satyendra Johari, chief executive officer (CEO) and Founder, Johari Digital (JDHL), said, “This collaboration is a win-win situation for both JDHL and IIT Jodhpur. It will enable core research into innovations for world-class product development in the country. Commercialisation with complete quality control needs a lot of effort in research and development. Johari Digital can play an important role to bridge this gap.”  

With the healthcare market embracing contemporary technologies of artificial intelligence and data-based remote healthcare, the CoE at IIT Jodhpur will establish vital synergy between academia and industry for advanced healthcare technologies. It will be a unique opportunity to develop accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare devices at a higher pace and scale to meet the global demand. 

Santanu Chaudhury, Director, IIT Jodhpur, said, “There are several emerging technologies coming up at IIT Jodhpur potentially in different spaces. Some of these technologies are in the space of electronics as well as mechanical applications where joining hands with Johari will bring a set of products through this collaboration which will be conceptualised, indigenously developed and engineered so as to bring up products of Indian origin.” 

He added, “This Centre of Excellence will lead to the development of products which have originated from India, the entire IP as well as the manufacturing capability will also be with India. For a new IIT like IIT Jodhpur, this alliance with a global player like Johari in Jodhpur has huge value. This will nucleate a medtech industrial ecosystem in the country.”
