StanPlus, India’s largest medical emergency response platform, recently announced a partnership with Narayana Hrudayalaya Ltd to manage their ambulance services and provide critical care within 15 minutes. The partnership entails the deployment of Advanced Life Support and Basic Life Support in Narayana Health’s Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences and Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center on the Health City campus, which provide over 1,250 beds.
StanPlus has partnered with 7 of Bangalore’s tier-1 hospitals, including Sakra World Hospital, Fortis Hospital – Cunningham, Fortis Hospitals Bannerghatta, and Sparsh Super specialty Hospital, to ensure that Red ambulances and trained paramedics can reach critical patients in less than 15 minutes. StanPlus is currently able to serve 2,500 beds and facilitate 10,000 patient trips per month due to its strategic hospital partnerships.
Dr. Nitin Manjunath, Facility Director of Narayana Health City, commented on the announcement as follows: “Narayana Health City is equipped with world-class services and facilities to ensure seamless patient care. We are ecstatic to announce our partnership with StanPlus to manage our emergency response services and ambulance care in order to further this initiative. We are confident that StanPlus’s expertise in the segment and Prabhdeep’s vision to deploy state-of-the-art equipment and trained paramedics will assist us in providing our patients with quality and timely care.”
StanPlus currently has a fleet of 44 Red Ambulances that it owns, in addition to 100 ambulances provided by multiple aggregators. The company also intends to station an additional 25 red ambulances in Bangalore, bringing the total to over 160. Before becoming a part of the StanPlus Fleet, ambulances undergo rigorous quality checks to ensure that patients receive the highest level of care.
“At StanPlus, we realised that the Indian healthcare infrastructure, despite significant advancements, lacks awareness of emergency medical response. We began working to address this deficiency and provide a platform that provides quality EMS services that can save lives in a timely manner. Through our partnership with Narayana Health City, we have been able to cover a significant portion of Bangalore and ensure that ambulances reach critical areas within 15 minutes.

The company’s network of affiliated hospitals covers Bommasandra, the electronic city region, as well as Bellandur via the Bannerghatta Road region, as well as the central area of Bangalore.
Commenting on the announcement, Prabhdeep Singh, CEO and Founder of StanPlus, said, “Without the support of the city’s leading hospitals, we would not have been able to cover significant areas of Bangalore and reach critical cases in less than 15 minutes over the past two years. StanPlus is pleased to announce that we have formed a partnership with Narayana Health in order to expand our reach and provide seamless emergency medical services. We believe that with partnerships like Narayana Healthcare, StanPlus will soon be able to cover the entire city of Bangalore and provide everyone with access to high-quality emergency medical care.”
StanPlus promises to respond to emergencies in less than 15 minutes and provide timely patient care during the golden hour, making it one of the first companies in the country to do so. Access, triage, destination selection, and vital information sharing are the four pillars that the company aims to achieve for emergency response technologies. The Hyderabad-based startup has partnered with more than fifty hospitals and seventy businesses, and it plans to expand to more than fifteen cities in India by the end of the year in an effort to provide access to people throughout the country.
