Diagnex delivers haemodialysis in the home on a clinical protocol built across more than two hundred cases — backed by a healthcare group trusted since 1995. A limited number of exclusive territories are now open to established operators.

home dialysis cases, delivered

Diagnex did not design a protocol and then look for partners. The protocol was built by delivering the service — session after session, in real homes, through the clinical complications that only become apparent over years of practice.

That protocol library is what a partner operates under. It exists because it was used.

What this means for a partner

The opportunity

Demand for dialysis has outrun the capacity to provide it.

Chronic kidney disease continues to rise across India, driven by diabetes and hypertension in an ageing, urbanising population. Maintenance haemodialysis requires treatment two or three times each week, often indefinitely — and the country has far fewer treatment stations than the patient population requires.

For a growing number of families, home haemodialysis is the practical alternative. What does not yet exist is a network that lets established local operators deliver it to a single clinical standard.

The cost position

Every session is supplied through a healthcare group trusted since 1995.

A partner sources consumables through the group's distribution chain, at a cost an independent operator could not reach alone. This is not a promotional discount. It is the structural reason the economics hold — it leaves the operator a sustainable margin at a price the market will pay.

The technology

Diagnex Core records every session and holds the standard.

Standardising care delivered by independently owned territories is the hardest problem in franchised healthcare. Diagnex Core is what solves it — every session is logged, the protocol is checked against practice, and clinical escalation reaches a central nephrology team with the record already attached.

Clinical oversight

A central nephrology team stands behind every territory.

An independent operator is never operating alone. Clinical escalation reaches an experienced nephrology team, with the full session record already attached through the platform — so the partner's local clinical staff always have senior support within reach.

The proposition

An exclusive territory, owned and operated by the partner.

The organised chains deliver home dialysis from a central base, dispatching technicians across a city. A Diagnex partner operates within a defined territory, hires and manages a local team, and holds exclusive rights to that market for the term of the agreement.

The partner owns and runs the operation. Diagnex provides the protocol, the supply, the platform and the clinical support that keep the standard consistent across every territory in the network.

Diagnex also supports the partner in recruiting and training the local clinical team — sourcing candidates, and training and certifying technicians to the same standard used at the founding centre. This is available as an add-on service, priced per technician.

What the partnership includes

The operating system for a home dialysis business.

01Exclusive territory rights for 36 months, renewable against agreed milestones
02The full clinical protocol library and standard operating procedures
03Technician training and individual certification at the founding centre
04Diagnex Core — the platform that records every session and holds the standard
05Central nephrology escalation, available to the partner's clinical team
06Consumables supply through the group for the full term of the agreement
07Launch marketing materials and partner brand assets
08A Fresenius 4008S machine, supplied and commissioned through the group
09Recruitment and training support for the partner’s clinical team, available as an add-on service

Patient acquisition remains the partner's responsibility, supported by referral introductions through the group's clinical network. This is an owner-operated business and requires the partner's direct involvement.

How it works

From application to your first patient.

1
Apply 10 minutes

A short application covering your city, business background and the capital available. Deliberately more demanding than most — we would rather have ten serious conversations than two hundred casual ones.

2
Review within 2 working days

Every application is read by us, not sorted by software. If a territory is unavailable or the fit is not right, we tell you within two days, and we tell you why.

3
Discovery & centre visit weeks 1–3

A direct conversation, then a visit to the founding centre. Meet the clinical team, watch a session, see the supply chain, and receive the full information memorandum.

4
Agreement & launch weeks 3–12

Territory confirmed and agreement signed, then equipment installed, technicians trained and certified, platform provisioned, and your first patients introduced through the clinical network.

09
Investment and returns
The franchise fee is ₹15 lakh. The total depends on which model you run.

A partner chooses between two operating models. Home delivers treatment in the patient’s own home and needs no vehicle of its own — the machine travels by hired ambulance as and when required. Home + Wheels adds a fitted mobile unit, so the territory can also run dialysis on wheels — a second service, at its own price point, reaching patients a home-only setup cannot.

What families say

The service a partner is being asked to deliver.

Patients are not named. Home haemodialysis is delivered inside a family’s home, and privacy is part of the service — so these are published with consent, identified only by city and by how long the patient has been on treatment.

Quotes are published with written consent and are edited only for length. Patients are identified by city and time on treatment, never by name. Individual experience varies and nothing here is a clinical claim about outcomes.

Applications open · 2026

A limited number of territories are being allocated in this first phase.

Each application is reviewed within two working days, and every applicant is spoken to directly by the Diagnex team.
