Author: Bihar Say | Amrita | From Bihar to Bharat: How Niraj Jha’s Hanuman Care Built a ₹100 Crore Emergency Healthcare Lifeline “Zindagi mein kuch bada karne ke
“Zindagi mein kuch bada karne ke liye, joosh ka hona zaroori hai.”
With that belief and the urgency of a national crisis, one man from Bihar decided to act. Niraj Jha, founder of Hanuman Care, didn’t wait for change — he became the change. Today, his startup is one of India’s most trusted names in emergency healthcare, operating over 1,500 ambulances across four Indian states.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed serious gaps in India’s healthcare system. Bihar, in particular, struggled with ambulance delays and poor access to critical care.
Moved by what he saw around him, Niraj Jha launched Hanuman Care with just ₹2 lakh. His goal was clear — no one should die waiting for help.
During the pandemic, Hanuman Care helped over 2,000 people in urgent need, delivering emergency services when systems were overwhelmed. What began as a local act of courage grew into a national model.
Not everyone can afford air ambulances. In fact, more than 95% of Indians are priced out of such services.
Seeing the gap, Niraj introduced a disruptive solution — India’s first Train Ambulance, a full-fledged ICU on rails. This allowed patients to travel long distances at lower costs, with trained paramedics and critical care support onboard.
Beyond trains, Hanuman Care now delivers:
Road ambulance services across rural and urban zones
Air ambulance coordination
Home healthcare and diagnostics
Medical equipment on rent and insurance assistance
Using fleet management and GPS tech, they offer ambulance access within 15 minutes in many areas — a critical edge in saving lives.
What started small is now spread across Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi NCR.
With a valuation crossing ₹100 crore, Hanuman Care is not just growing in numbers — it’s scaling with purpose.
This is not just a business — it’s a mission to save lives, make healthcare accessible, and restore public trust in emergency services.
Niraj Jha recently shared his journey on Josh Talks Bihar, opening up about failures, breakthroughs, and the emotional toll of building something during a crisis.
From hiring the first ambulance driver to staying awake during critical transfers, his story is raw and inspiring.
“We didn’t just send ambulances. We gave people a second chance at life.” — Niraj Jha on Josh Talks Bihar
His talk is more than inspiration. It’s proof that even in chaos, courage and clarity can create lasting impact.
In a country where quality healthcare is still a luxury for many, Hanuman Care proves that affordability, speed, and innovation can co-exist.
It also shows that you don’t need to be in Delhi or Mumbai to build a national healthcare brand. You can start in Bihar, with a small budget and a massive purpose.
Niraj Jha didn’t just build a company. He created a lifeline — and in doing so, reshaped how India responds to emergencies.
