Our story

Across India, millions of people are living with diabetes, thyroid disorders, fatty liver, kidney disease and heart risk without knowing it. Most find out only when something goes wrong — in an emergency room, or after years of silent damage.

DuraMater was founded on a simple belief: that knowing your numbers early, understanding what they mean, and having a doctor help you act on them should be normal — not a luxury reserved for the few.

dura mater

Our name comes from the dura mater — the tough, protective membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Latin for “tough mother”, it quietly guards what matters most. That is the role we want to play in your health.

Our journey

  1. 01The problem

    Chronic diseases in India are rising fast and are mostly found late. Routine check-ups hand people a PDF of numbers with little explanation and no plan.

  2. 02The idea

    Bring clinical-grade testing to people’s homes, read every marker in context, and turn results into a clear, personalised plan reviewed by doctors.

  3. 03Today

    In-home sample collection through NABL-certified labs, 120+ biomarkers, organ-wise risk insights, and a dashboard that tracks your health over time.
