The Indian Medical Equipment industry has always been under the shadows of foreign products. We have long remained as buyers and importers. At times, we endeavour to produce clones, while the healthcare sector demands quality solutions. With that said, there are only a handful of medical equipment manufacturers who have been trying hard to create a niche for themselves in the industry and proudly vouch for Make in India. Among them, AKAS Infusions has been leaping the extra mile to make sure that they attain sustained success while providing the best to the healthcare segment. As India’s largest manufacturer of Syringe Infusion pumps, AKAS Infusions (erstwhile AKAS Medical Equipment) has been able to make a name for itself by building a positive reputation in the industry. Today, it is marching ahead with a motive to offer world-class medical equipment.

Under the stewardship of Arjunsooraj, the company focuses on developing and delivering drug delivery technology by pivoting on Total Stakeholder Involvement. Since 1996, AKAS is known for its high standards and premium quality in the niche of Infusion Equipment.

Arjunsooraj plunged into entrepreneurship when he was just 24 years old. The young engineering graduate was intrigued by the dynamic healthcare industry and founded AKAS with a passion for manufacturing sophisticated engineering components.

He believed that Medical and Engineering combined would enable the

globe to move towards prosperity. Arjun’s vision coupled with the guidance of his elder brother prompted the first step towards shaping India’s medical equipment landscape.

In the last 25 years since inception, we have over 10000+ customers and over 50000+ products installed. With a family of over 200 employees, we are fully dedicated to improving ICU care and patient care in the area of drug delivery and fluid management", Arjun remarks.
