Who founded Lifemaan?

Lifemaan was founded in Surat, Gujarat by Hiren Akbari (CEO), Nirav Bhalala (CTO) and Nilesh Davara (COO). Before building the product, the founders met 200 doctors at 200 different hospitals to understand what their software lacked. In its first four years, the team met 800 doctors at 800 hospitals across India for feedback.

When and where was Lifemaan founded?

Lifemaan was founded in 2021 in Surat, Gujarat, where its design and development centre still is. The company builds cloud hospital and clinic management software for Indian doctors, and today more than 576 hospitals across India use it.

Does Lifemaan's founding team hold a patent?

Yes. Lifemaan's founders Nirav Bhalala, Hiren Akbari and Nilesh Davara hold Indian Patent No. 541485 for an IoT-based intelligent and ergonomic intensive care ecosystem, in which ICU devices share data with each other and AI suggests decisions to the doctor. It was filed on 13 July 2021 and granted on 11 June 2024.

Is Lifemaan ABDM compliant?

Yes. Lifemaan is ABDM compliant, certified by the National Health Authority across Milestones M1, M2 and M3, so hospitals using it can create and link ABHA numbers and share health records with consent under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.

Lifemaan was born from a simple observation: most hospital software forces doctors to type. But doctors don't want to type — they want to write. They want to think, diagnose, and treat, not navigate complex screens.
