In a landmark move set to fundamentally reshape patient-specific healthcare, Imaginarium, India’s leading multi-speciality hybrid manufacturing company, today announced a strategic investment in Rombus, a pioneering technology-driven orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) solutions provider. This partnership is poised to catalyze the creation of the world’s first fully integrated, end-to-end O&P superstructure, bringing together advanced manufacturing, material science, design excellence, digital workflows, and clinical expertise into a single, unified platform.
Rombus, a startup known for its proprietary technology and digital-first approach to O&P, has built a strong reputation for clinical proficiency, meaningful patient engagement, and a focus on data-driven patient care. By joining forces, Imaginarium and Rombus are set to simplify and streamline every step of the patient journey—from initial diagnosis to final device delivery—elevating global standards for both quality and personalized care. Their collaboration aims not only to set new benchmarks for the industry but also to ensure that innovative, customized solutions are accessible to a much broader population.
Quotes from Leadership
Aashay Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director at Imaginarium, emphasized the transformative potential of this alliance: “This partnership with Rombus is a decisive step towards realizing our vision of transforming healthcare through technology. By integrating Imaginarium’s advanced hybrid manufacturing capabilities with Rombus’ clinical insights and technical expertise, we are not merely building products; we are establishing a new standard of care for orthotic and prosthetic solutions. Additive manufacturing enables mass customization, and what needs more customization than the human body? With Rombus, we are moving an entire ecosystem from analogue to digital. Traditional O&P has relied on manual design and craftsmanship—a process that’s more art than science, dependent on human touch and conventional manufacturing. We are now powering this ecosystem to be completely digital, scientific, and inherently scalable. This means delivering custom, accessible, high-quality orthotic and prosthetic care to millions globally—and ushering in a new era of precision, efficiency, and widespread availability in healthcare. This is nothing short of a revolution.”
Expanding further on this collaboration, Mehta noted that the integration of artificial intelligence, advanced biomaterials, and rapid prototyping techniques will enable the development of devices tailored precisely to each patient’s anatomy and lifestyle. The resulting improvements in fit, comfort, and functionality represent a significant leap over the limitations of standardized devices, and the digital transformation will facilitate data sharing, long-term patient monitoring, and iterative enhancements in device design. By leveraging a global network of clinics and practitioners, Imaginarium and Rombus are set to reduce production and delivery times dramatically, making custom O&P solutions more responsive to individual patient needs.
Rombus’ Co-Founders, Anmol Khandelwal and Umang Parashar, echoed the excitement about this new chapter: “We’ve always believed in reimagining orthotics and prosthetics with a relentless focus on patient outcomes, efficiency, and empathy. Imaginarium, with its ISO 13485 medical-grade proficiency in manufacturing, brings unmatched engineering, material intelligence, scale, and innovation to the table. Together, we are building the future of mobility and independence, making custom O&P solutions a reality for all. Thanks to our proprietary technology, clinicians can have custom designs in their hands within seconds. With Imaginarium, we are now a one-stop shop, ensuring record turnaround times for custom, precision-manufactured devices.”
The co-founders elaborated that by harnessing cloud-based design software, automated fitting algorithms, and real-time clinician collaboration tools, they can empower healthcare providers to respond quickly to patient needs and deliver better outcomes. This expanded offering will also facilitate broader outreach to underserved regions, breaking down barriers that have traditionally limited access to high-quality orthotic and prosthetic care.
Together, Imaginarium and Rombus are set to redefine the patient journey in orthotics and prosthetics, one innovation at a time. This partnership marks a bold step toward a future where state-of-the-art technology and compassionate, personalized care converge, enabling a new standard of mobility, independence, and hope for millions of people around the world.
