Tulu Health launches India’s first AI agent platform to transform patient care & streamline hospital ecosystem
New Delhi: Tulu Health, a pioneering healthtech and fintech startup founded by experts from AIIMS, IIT, and Stanford University, has officially launched India’s first AI Agent Platform to become the one-stop solution for all healthcare needs.
Backed by clinical insight and cutting-edge AI technologies, Tulu Health’s new platform provides modular AI agents tailored for both healthcare providers and patients—delivered seamlessly through widely used platforms like WhatsApp and hospital websites. With the launch of its AI Agent Platform, Tulu Health aims to transform healthcare for over 10 million patients in the next three years by harnessing the power of AI to drive better health outcomes.
The launch event, held on 12, April 2025 at Pullman Aerocity, Delhi, introduced the country to a transformative suite of AI-driven solutions that simplify, personalize, and automate the entire healthcare journey— right from initial consultation to post-hospitalization support. Designed to integrate directly with WhatsApp and hospital websites, Tulu Health’s platform eliminates the friction traditionally associated with digital health services. Patients no longer need to download or learn new applications. Instead, they receive AI-guided assistance in familiar environments, available in multiple languages and optimized for mobile use. This inclusive approach ensures that even those with low digital literacy can access personalized care and financial support instantly and intuitively.
Speaking at the launch, Dr. Adil, Founder of Tulu Health, with a decade of experience working at AIIMS Delhi, GTB Hospital and Health-tech companies, said, “We built Tulu to meet patients where they are—on WhatsApp, in their language, with zero friction. This isn’t just a tool; it’s a transformation in how India experiences healthcare. We have envisioned Tulu as a response to persistent challenges that patients and hospitals face: lack of transparency, poor care continuity, high out-of-pocket expenses, and limited post-discharge follow-up and clinical support. ”
Dr. Adil went on to pursue a fellowship formerly known as Stanford India Biodesign after MBBS. Tulu Health marks his second entrepreneurial venture, following a successful first BIRAC-funded startup incubated at IIT Delhi. Tulu’s AI agents assist hospitals with key business challenges such as expanding patient reach, improving flow and experience, ensuring care continuity, and boosting service utilization. On the patient side, the platform offers AI-powered decision support for surgeries and treatments, real-time access to financial options, voice-enabled agents for rural or first-time users, and an industry-first cashless pre- and post-hospitalization system for up to 180 days. All this is backed by robust technology, including generative AI, predictive modeling, NLP for document parsing, and deep learning for health pattern recognition—developed in-house with modular integrations from global AI partners like OpenAI and Anthropic.Akif, Advisor at Tulu Health, who previously helped build Innovaccer into one of the world’s most successful healthtech companies, said, “Tulu Health’s white-labeled AI agents plug directly into hospital systems such as EHR, CRM, ERP and WhatsApp accounts, delivering branded care journeys and automating workflows like never before. The vision to monetize the agents built in partnership with hospitals through the marketplace will be a breakthrough. It’s not just smart tech—it’s human-centered design at scale.”
Dr. Vijay Agarwal, President, Consortium of Accredited Healthcare Organisations, expressed- “Tulu Health has been a key partner in creating an AI-powered pre-surgery consent & education platform, and an AI assistant—solving a complex challenge for both doctors and patients. Their deep healthcare insight and user-focused solutions set them apart. Tulu represents a great hope for the future of healthcare: collaborative, compassionate, and innovative.”
In a landscape where 80% of businesses are actively exploring the use of autonomous agents, according to a Deloitte report India is quickly becoming a global leader in Agentic AI. Tulu Health sits at the forefront of this shift, offering not just theoretical potential but a working, scalable solution already in deployment. The company is onboarding State Govt, hospital networks and NBFCs for pilot projects and is in active conversations with leading public health institutions such as AIIMS, GTB Hospital and LNJP for wider implementation
With a B2B2C go-to-market model, revenue streams based on SaaS subscriptions and transaction-linked earnings, and a vision to become a global AI Agent marketplace, Tulu Health is reimagining healthcare at the intersection of care, cost, and technology. Built in India with a mission that spans borders, the platform is poised to redefine how millions access and experience healthcare—with simplicity, trust, and intelligence at its core.
