Dent@Home, India's first portable at-home and in-hospital dental care service for elderly, immobile, and hospital-bound patients, has secured a strategic investment from BizDateUp in partnership with actor Taher Shabbir and filmmaker-producer-director Ashutosh Shah, who have acquired a 25 per cent stake in the company. Recently featured on Shark Tank India Season 5, the healthcare startup is pioneering portable and at-home dental care services for hospital-bound, homebound, immobile, and elderly patients. The investment will support the company's next phase of growth as it expands its bedside dental care model across India, with a focus on making professional oral healthcare more accessible, convenient, and patient-centric.
Dent@Home has been working to bridge the gap in oral healthcare accessibility by offering professional emergency and critical dental services at patients' homes and in hospital beds, particularly for elderly individuals, people with mobility challenges, and those seeking convenient access to quality dental care. The company plans to further strengthen its service network, enhance customer experience, and expand its operational footprint across key markets.
The investment comes at a time when home-based healthcare services are witnessing growing adoption across India, driven by an increasing senior citizen population, accessibility challenges, and the demand for personalised essential care. As healthcare delivery models continue to evolve amid rising life expectancy and changing family dynamics, mobile healthcare solutions are emerging as an important component of elderly patient-centric care.
Speaking on the development, Taher Shabbir said, “What drew both me and my partner, filmmaker-producer-director Ashutosh Shah, to Dent@Home was the simplicity, relevance, and scale of the problem it is solving. Access to quality healthcare should never be limited by age, mobility, or circumstance. Dent@Home has created a thoughtful and highly scalable model that addresses these barriers while maintaining a strong focus on patient care, dignity, and clinical quality.
As healthcare continues to evolve towards more personalised, accessible and home-based solutions, we believe platforms like Dent@Home will play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of healthcare delivery in India. Ashutosh and I are excited to support the company’s long-term vision and be part of a journey that has both meaningful social impact and immense growth potential.”
Commenting on the investment, Jyotir Jain, Director, BizDateUp Group, said, "At BizDateUp, we believe the most impactful businesses are those that solve everyday challenges through scalable and sustainable solutions. Dent@Home is transforming the way dental care is delivered by bringing quality treatment directly to elderly and immobile patients, making it more accessible, convenient, and inclusive. As elder consumers' needs continue to shift towards home-based healthcare, we see significant long-term potential in this model. Dent@Home has built a strong foundation with a clear purpose, and we are excited to partner with the team as they expand their reach and redefine oral healthcare accessibility across India."
