Orange Health Targets Profitability by Early 2028, Expands Physical Footprint

Indian diagnostic services startup Orange Health Labs is aiming to turn fully profitable in the first half of 2028, while aggressively expanding its physical presence across major cities. The company plans to double its number of outlets to 150 by the end of fiscal 2026, up from just over 70 last year, co-founder Dhruv Gupta told Reuters. The move reflects growing demand for a hybrid healthcare model that blends digital convenience with on-ground access.

Known for its 30-minute at-home test sample collection, Orange Health currently operates in cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru, where it has already achieved profitability. The company expects to break even overall within the next eight to nine quarters and plans to open more outlets in existing markets while entering new metro cities to tap rising preventive healthcare demand.

Backed by investors such as Y Combinator, Accel and Amazon India’s Smbhav Venture Fund, Orange Health has raised $50 million so far. Gupta said India’s rising health awareness, increasing chronic disease burden and ageing population are driving higher test volumes, especially for diabetes and vitamin deficiencies. With India’s diagnostics market projected to grow to $43.6 billion by fiscal 2032, the company expects long-term growth as younger populations increasingly show early signs of metabolic disorders.
