Renalyx Health Systems to invest Rs 800 cr for setting up 3 dialysis machine production units
Mumbai: Bengaluru-headquartered
Renalyx Health Systems
on Wednesday said it is planning to invest Rs 800 crore in the next four years to set up three manufacturing units to produce RENALYX - RxT 21 machine that will help dialysis affordable and accessible to a larger population.
RENALYX - RxT 21 machine is world's first fully indigenous, AI and cloud-enabled smart hemodialysis machine with real-time remote monitoring and clinical connectivity facility, the company said.
Currently, the company manufactures RxT 17 through contract manufacturing and with the launch of RxT 21, it will set up its own facilities at Bengaluru and Mysuru in Karnataka and at Mumbai in Maharashtra, Renalyx Health Systems Founder and Director Shyam Vasudeva Rao told PTI.
This is expected to raise the manpower of the company to over 500 people in 1-2 years from the current 100, he added.
"RxT 21 makes Renalyx the sixth company globally and first in India to produce an advanced dialysis machine with EU CE certification, a mandatory conformity marking for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). We are aiming for an annual capacity of 5,000 machines in the company-owned manufacturing units," he added.
The Indian CDSCO (Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation) approval of the machine is in its final stages and is expected by July this year, while the US FDA approval process is underway and anticipated by March 2026, he said.
When asked how the company is planning to raise Rs 800 crore for setting up the manufacturing units, Rao said, the company will get it through a mix of foreign direct investment (FDIs), equity and debt.
"The company plans to raise funds through the sale of equity, backed by strong interest from prominent Indian and international investors. In addition, it will raise debt, and the promoters will also invest capital. We are also planning to go public within the next three years," he added.
Renalyx Health Systems is a technology innovation company which is focused on delivering inclusive solutions for comprehensive renal care.
With initial deployments of the machine planned in Maharashtra and Karnataka, the company will go for rapid pan-India distribution of RxT 21 with its partners as well as exports to other countries.
Rao said the company has penetrated international markets, and has secured orders from South Africa, the USA, and Europe.
In India, Renalyx plans to install RxT 21 at primary health centres (PHC), community health centres (CHC), private dialysis centres and hospitals to make renal care available to a large number of people. PTI

Startup Mantra: Accelerate business growth with sustainability
At a time when businesses across the globe are navigating a maze of sustainability regulations, a Pune-based startup is helping them find clarity—and compliance—with confidence. Founded in 2021 by Rajesh Patel, Snowkap is a Net Zero Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that helps companies manage their Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) performance and reduce their carbon footprint. Born out of a problem Patel encountered firsthand—scattered ESG data, outdated tools, and a lack of business-aligned solutions—Snowkap blends artificial intelligence with human expertise to create a comprehensive, usable platform. 'We're not trying to retrofit old systems,' says Patel, who also heads the Powerweave Group. 'We wanted to create something grounded in how sustainability actually functions inside modern businesses,' he said. From pain point to platform The ideation for Snowkap began with conversations across boardrooms and factory floors. Patel and his team met sustainability officers, procurement heads, chief financial officers (CFOs), auditors, and policy advisors across geographies. 'We mapped where ESG data comes from, who owns it, where it gets stuck. The pattern was clear—manual processes, scattered workflows, and a heavy reliance on consultants just to stay compliant,' says Patel. What emerged was a business-grade ESG ERP platform—built from scratch, not retrofitted. The platform integrates directly into an enterprise's existing systems, automates data collection, matches it to global frameworks, and flags gaps, enabling quick and credible reporting. It supports the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), among others. 'Think of us as your ESG control tower,' Patel explains. 'We plug in, clean up your data, match it to global standards, and help build your reports—all from one place.' Bootstrapped but built-to-scale The product has been in the making for over 18 months, backed entirely by the Powerweave Group and developed by a core team of engineers, ESG experts, and compliance professionals. Around $1.5 million has been invested so far through internal capital and grants. Unlike many early-stage startups, Snowkap has avoided the blitz-scaling trap. 'We built with intent, not speed,' says Patel. While most SaaS companies bleed cash in the name of scale, Snowkap's infrastructure and product choices were made to grow sustainably. 'From the beginning, we asked—how can we scale without increasing burn?' adds Patel. Human and AI approach The global ESG software market, currently pegged at $3.17 billion, is dominated by giants like SAP, IBM, and Microsoft, which together command over 60% market share. Snowkap, like other Indian entrants (with <10% market share), is an emerging challenger in a rapidly growing industry. What sets Snowkap apart, says Patel, is its Human + AI approach. 'Most platforms stop at reporting. We go further—our AI does the heavy lifting, and our ESG experts help translate that into business-first action,' he says. 'It's not just about compliance—it's about helping businesses make smarter decisions.' Europe and GCC on the radar Snowkap now plans to expand into high-impact markets in Europe and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The timing is deliberate. 'Europe is now the epicentre of sustainability regulation,' says Patel, referring to new frameworks like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and the Omnibus Directive. 'These aren't just acronyms—they're reshaping boardroom agendas.' To enter these markets, Snowkap is strengthening its partner ecosystem. Local collaborators, especially in Europe, bring on-ground knowledge and regulatory understanding, while Snowkap provides the scalable tech backbone. Industry tailwinds The ESG software market is booming—with a global compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%, projected to hit $8.03 billion by 2030. India's market is smaller but growing faster—from ~$110 million now to an estimated $377 million by 2030 (CAGR of 22.9%). For Patel, it's not just a business opportunity—it's a shift in how companies define performance. 'ESG is now a boardroom priority, not just a CSR checkbox. When something becomes central to business strategy, you need infrastructure that evolves with it.'

AP partners with WEF for energy centre in Amaravati
Vijayawada: In a significant move to establish Andhra Pradesh as a global hub for innovation and sustainable development, the state government partnered with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to launch 'WEF-AP Centre for Energy and Cyber Resilience' in Amaravati. This initiative aligns with the government's ambitious 'Swarna Andhra Vision 2047'. A Government Order issued on Thursday formalized the establishment of this centre, which will operate under the WEF's global Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) Network. Notably, it will be India's first thematic C4IR centre and will focus on two critical areas: energy transition and green industries in collaboration with WEF's Centre for Energy and Materials (CENMAT) and AI-led digital transformation and cyber security, in partnership with WEF's Centre for Cyber Security. This initiative stems from high-level meetings with the WEF in Davos and is poised to position Amaravati as India's leading center for green energy, sustainability, and cyber security. The project is being spearheaded by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh, with the overarching goal of enhancing AP's international profile and attracting significant investments in clean energy, Artificial Intelligence, and digital infrastructure. The centre's key objectives include elevating AP's global standing, fostering international partnerships, supporting the growth of green industries, enhancing cyber security capabilities, and running pilot projects in clean energy, smart grids, and the application of AI in sectors such as agriculture and governance. Furthermore, it aims at upskilling the workforce in cyber security and emerging technologies and connecting the state with prominent global platforms like the WEF's annual meeting at Davos. The state government has allocated Rs 36 crore to support the Centre's operations for three years. It will initially function from Vijayawada or Amaravati and will be governed by a high-level committee chaired by IT Minister Nara Lokesh.
