Our Story

Founders

The founders, Harisharan  and Thilak Chakaravarthi are both students of Joint-Masters in Medical Technologies of AIIMS Jodhpur and IIT Jodhpur.

Their successful collaboration in entrepreneurship workshops and competitions demonstrated their potential as a powerful team, combining medical knowledge with technological innovation.

Personal Problem

In the cold winters of Jodhpur, Harisharan always had trouble breathing with his deviated nasal septum and would use nasal drops 4-6 times a day. He is also prone to catch infections and tonsilitis because of this condition.

He understood that there are many people who suffer from the condition similarly, thus motivating him to find a solution that could improve quality of life for countless individuals facing similar challenges.

Origin

In a forum of seniors and juniors amongst Medical Technologies Program, Harisharan presented the problem statement for the first time. It instantly grabbed the attention of Thilak Chakaravarthi, who recommended Hari – That he should continue to work on the problem statement. They worked together for National Bio Entrepreneurship Competition (NBEC) 2022 and won in Medical Device category.

That gave them the confidence to establish “Caldor Health Technologies Private Limited” and begin their entrepreneurial journey with purpose and passion.

Discovery

The team worked on various properties of nasal cartilage and discovered that Temperature Controlled Radiofrequency had great efficiency in cartilage reshaping through ex-vivo goat septal cartilage studies.

This groundbreaking approach opened new possibilities for treating nasal conditions with minimal invasiveness and maximum effectiveness.

Our Promise

At Caldor Health Technologies, we promise to deliver innovative, patient-centered solutions that transform ENT Speciality. We are committed to developing innovative medical technologies that require scientific rigor, and technological excellence.

Our focus remains on creating accessible treatments for conditions that affect quality of life, starting with our breakthrough approach to nasal congestion,
