Axten Hospitals, a surgical care startup, has raised ₹2.5 crore in its first structured funding round led by PedalStart, with participation from angel investors. The fresh capital will support the launch of three new hospital facilities over the next 12 months through an asset-light expansion model focused on partnerships, branding, legal setup, and working capital.

Founded by Gauttam Chhabra, Axten Hospitals delivers specialized surgical care with an emphasis on standardized treatment, operational efficiency, and transparent pricing. The company also plans to roll out a technology platform for patient discovery, appointment booking, and post-operative care management.

The startup launched its pilot facility in East of Kailash, New Delhi, in FY25 and reported nearly ₹9 crore in revenue in its first year while remaining EBITDA positive. Axten focuses on high-volume procedures across multiple specialties.

With its “Honest Surgery Price” model, the company aims to eliminate surprise billing and enhance cost transparency while targeting rapid expansion across metro cities.
