“Translumina presents a unique opportunity to build a leading Global Med-tech company with a strong innovation culture and deep-seated roots in both India and Germany. I look forward to driving the next chapter of growth for the business that will involve bringing a further set of breakthrough technologies to patients around the world, together with a passionate and committed team at Translumina and supportive founders and shareholders,” said Indranil.

“It’s amazing to see how Translumina, which I co-founded with Punita Sharma in 2010, has achieved a marquee position in the interventional cardiovascular devices space in India and international markets. In addition to creating the widely acclaimed Drug Eluting Stent technologies which represent the highest standards of clinical evidence, we are now entering newer segments of specialty balloons and structural heart with innovative transcatheter solutions for Mitral, Aortic and Tricuspid valves. With Indranil and Armin complementing the existing leadership of Paritosh Arora, India MD and Kewal Jindal, Group CFO, we are all set to scale up and establish Translumina globally as an industry standard in innovation, quality and clinical evidence in healthcare space within next 2 years,” said Gurmit Singh Chugh, Chairman and Co-founder Translumina
