About Us
The Purple Story
From ventilators to the quiet dedication of our nurses, everything is designed to protect, nourish, and heal. Our NICU focuses on minimal intervention, evidence-based care, and the most powerful medicine is human connection. Whether your baby is here or you seek guidance, we provide expertise, support, and dignity.
Our Founders Note
“Purple NICU was born from a simple but powerful question why should only metro cities have access to the best neonatal care? I was a pediatrician running a busy NICU in Pondicherry, where we saw miracles happen every day. But I also saw parents traveling for hours, losing precious time their babies didn’t have. That’s when I knew: we had to take the NICU to them, not the other way around.”

Our Vision
To bring high quality neonatal intensive care closer to home, so that every baby gets a fighting chance at life. We're here to support families through every fragile beginning. From cutting edge technology to compassionate care, we stand by every tiny heartbeat. Together, we're redefining newborn survival and dignity.
Our Mission
At Purple NICU, we are committed to expanding access to Level 3 NICU care in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, ensuring that no baby has to travel more than 50–80 km to reach life saving neonatal support. We focus on standardizing clinical protocols and care so that every baby, regardless of where they are born, receives the same evidence based, compassionate treatment. Our mission includes building affordable NICU models that are financially sustainable for families and operationally scalable for hospitals.
What's Next?
We are building the Purple NICU App, expanding our AI-based monitoring systems, and working on breastmilk donation awareness to save more lives together. Every innovation brings us closer to safer, stronger beginnings for newborns. Through every step, care and compassion guide us. Together, we're shaping a brighter, healthier start for every baby.”
