How KOGLAND Built a $360K/Year Medical Supplies Marketplace for India's Hospitals

Who built it, and what they built

Varghese Samuel leads KOGLAND Commerce Pvt Ltd as its CEO and Managing Director. The company runs an online marketplace built for healthcare professionals, linking medical suppliers with providers across India.

The business began as a pure marketplace but shifted to a hybrid approach: it now holds inventory of fast-moving consumables and surgical items so it can ship faster and smooth out supply-demand gaps. Its buyers are small and medium hospitals, clinics, and similar healthcare providers purchasing in bulk.

The company reports a ten-fold rise in revenue alongside growing web traffic and active hiring, positioning it among India's quicker-growing online surgical supply retailers.

Where the idea came from

The idea took shape in 2015 during discussions among technology, engineering, and medical professionals who saw that while treatment technology had advanced, procurement and supply chains for medical supplies stayed disorganized, with inconsistent pricing and unreliable availability.

The first employee, Mr. Deepak Varghese, worked intensely to get the platform live and now leads operations and supply chain. Toward the end of 2019, Mr. Abraham Isaac joined to build out sales and marketing, expand the product catalog, and secure brand partnerships; his background spans biomedical engineering, an MBA from SPJIMR, and roles at firms such as Bosch, Stanley Black and Decker, Mu Sigma, and TCS.
