Partner with MediGear in India
India buys medical equipment at enormous volume across government tenders, large private hospital chains and a vast independent diagnostic sector, and each behaves differently. Regulatory coverage has widened steadily, so licensing now shapes what can be quoted.
MediGear is a UK-registered medical equipment distributor and B2B marketplace working with verified manufacturers and healthcare buyers in more than 80 countries. Its partner program opens that catalogue to Indian businesses selling into government medical colleges and district hospitals, private hospital chains, diagnostic chains, standalone laboratories and dental clinics.
Partnership Opportunities for Indian Businesses
Three program tracks are open to Indian businesses. Different business models, the same catalogue behind them — the right one depends on how much of the transaction you want to own.
Become a MediGear Sales Agent
Agents introduce qualified hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams to MediGear. The role focuses on generating opportunities and connecting buyers with the team; MediGear handles quotations, supply, documentation and fulfilment. Earnings are commission-based on confirmed sales; no purchasing or inventory is required, and sales materials and product support are provided. It suits consultants and independent representatives who understand how a state health department tender and a corporate hospital chain purchase each progress.
Become an Authorised MediGear Distributor
Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market — a single state, a zone such as the south or the north-east, or national coverage of one product group. Products are purchased at distributor level for onward supply, and territorial rights may be exclusive or non-exclusive. Market development, commercial support, and regulatory and import coordination are included.
Become a MediGear Reseller
Resellers purchase at wholesale and resell independently through an existing medical business, online store, sales network or customer base. Order quantities are flexible, and you sell on your own terms to your own customers. Resellers operate independently without territorial or official distribution rights, so there is no territorial commitment and no market development obligation.
Who Can Become a MediGear Partner in India?
The program is open to registered Indian companies holding GST registration and a genuine route to healthcare buyers. Applications commonly come from:
-
Equipment distributors and importers already supplying public and private hospitals
-
Independent sales agents with contacts in theatre, imaging, pathology or dental
-
Online medical supply retailers and e-commerce operators
-
Biomedical engineering firms adding equipment sales to service contracts
-
Practice fit-out, day surgery and healthcare project companies
-
Diagnostic chain suppliers, dental and veterinary equipment resellers
Licensing capability is the qualifier. A mid-sized distributor holding an import licence is worth more to a manufacturer than a larger firm that has never applied for one.
What You Get as a MediGear Partner
Competitive margins. Partner-level commercial terms apply across the catalogue, with performance recognised for partners who hit agreed targets.
Full product catalogue. Certified equipment across diagnostics, surgical and therapeutic, lab and pathology, sterilisation, hospital furniture, dental, ENT and ophthalmic, rehabilitation, orthopaedic, cardiology, gastroenterology, neonatal, dermatology, veterinary and spare parts.
Sourcing and quotation support. Send an enquiry and the team sources the product, negotiates with the manufacturer and returns a documented quotation — including items outside the current catalogue.
Direct partnerships team. Order queries, supplier negotiations, logistics coordination, and after-sales issues go straight to the team by email, so you can focus on selling rather than chasing suppliers.
Marketing support. Co-branded brochures, digital assets, product imagery and joint campaigns you can put in front of Australian buyers.
Regulatory support. Country-specific import guidance, certification documentation and connections to local regulatory consultants for market entry questions.
Medical Equipment Supply and Regulation in India
Medical devices are regulated by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, with devices classified from Class A to Class D by risk. Licences cover import, manufacture, sale and distribution, and requirements are published by CDSCO.
Import registration and licences are filed through the national online portal, and an importer must be an Indian entity holding the appropriate licence. Applications and their status are handled through the CDSCO medical device online system, while state licensing authorities handle sale and distribution licences.
Customs clearance runs through the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, where tariff classification and duty treatment are settled, with regulatory clearance checked at the port. MediGear is not the licence holder for partner products and does not give regulatory advice.

Why Indian Businesses Work with MediGear
Licensing support is the first reason partners cite. Manufacturer-level documentation is the hardest part of an Indian import filing to obtain, and having it prepared shortens the process substantially.
Second is scope. A hospital chain opening a unit wants the whole floor handled together rather than through a dozen vendors.
Commercial discipline is the third. Indian tenders are won on tightly argued terms, and a partner buying from a consolidated manufacturer base can hold a competitive position.

This page is published for general business and information purposes and is not an offer of partnership. MediGear reviews all applications, and approval is not guaranteed. Any partnership that proceeds is governed by the written terms agreed between MediGear and the partner. Product availability, category coverage, territory arrangements, commercial terms and any commission or margin structure vary by application and may change. The regulatory information here is general information about the Indian framework and is not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements under the Medical Devices Rules, administered by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation and by state licensing authorities, depend on the device, its risk class, its intended purpose and the licence held by the importer or seller. Partner businesses remain responsible for confirming what applies to their own products, and should obtain qualified regulatory, customs or legal advice where required.

Frequently Asked Questions
The program is open to registered Indian companies holding GST registration and a genuine route to healthcare buyers: equipment importers and distributors, independent sales agents, online medical supply retailers, biomedical engineering firms, hospital project companies, and diagnostic, dental or veterinary resellers. Speciality experience carries more weight than company size.
Three. Sales agents introduce hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams and earn commission on confirmed sales without holding stock. Authorised distributors represent MediGear in an agreed territory, purchase at distributor level and develop the local market. Resellers buy at wholesale and resell independently through a business they already run, without territorial rights or commitments.
No. Joining is free for Indian businesses. There are no registration charges, subscriptions or upfront payments required to become an agent, distributor or reseller. Distributors and resellers purchase the products they sell, and partners cover their own trading costs, such as local delivery, storage, and any marketing they run beyond the assets MediGear provides.
Agents earn commission on confirmed sales rather than a retainer. The rate depends on the product category, the order value and the volume you bring, and is confirmed in writing before you begin introducing buyers. Because agents hold no stock and carry no inventory risk, earnings simply follow completed orders.
Exclusive territorial rights are available to qualified distributors who can demonstrate market reach, financial capability and alignment with MediGear standards, and are assessed case by case. Non-exclusive distribution is also offered and is more common for partners entering a new product category. A territory may be one state, a group of states, or national coverage of a single product group.
Partners receive onboarding, product knowledge materials, regulatory guidance for their market, sales tools and co-branded marketing assets. The partnerships team handles order queries, supplier negotiations and logistics coordination, including certification and customs documentation for inbound consignments.
As a general rule, yes. Devices notified under the Medical Devices Rules require import registration and licensing through the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, with the licence held by an Indian entity. Sale and distribution licences are issued by state licensing authorities. MediGear is not the licence holder for partner products, so confirm your own position with the authorities.
Not on its own. Approvals from Europe or the United States support an Indian application and are commonly submitted as part of the dossier, but import registration and licensing under the Medical Devices Rules remain separate requirements. Confirm the applicable route for each device class before quoting.
