Founded in November 2016, the company is a producer, importer, exporter and retailer of pharmaceuticals, drugs, and medical and diagnostic equipment. As of 2019, the home healthcare market in India and neighbouring countries (Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) is pegged at ₹20,757 crore and is expected to grow to ₹38,920 crore by 2025 at a CAGR 11.0%. Nureca caters to this market with products like blood pressure monitors, glucose-monitoring devices, wheelchairs, walkers, fitness trackers and nutritional supplements. 

Although the company designs its products in house, it majorly outsources the manufacturing to domestic and overseas vendors. In July 2020, it set up a manufacturing plant in Chandigarh where the company finishes the final assembly of its products. 

Nureca sells its products primarily via e-commerce under three brands—Dr Trust, Dr Physio and Trumom. In fact, 95% of the company’s revenues come through digital channels. To expand its offline footprint, in 2019, it collaborated with Tata’s Croma chain of stores to sell healthcare products.

The company’s business has seen a consistent uptick. Here's a look.
