The Smile Supplier: How DentalKart Became India’s One-Stop Dental Marketplace

Introduction to DentalKart

Established by Dr. Vikas Agarwal and Sandeep Aggarwal in 2016, Dentalkart has emerged as India's go-to online dental shopping destination. Through a strong catalog of more than 20,000 products and a delivery system that spans over 20,000 pin codes, Dentalkart equips more than 1,68,000 dental professionals across India.

Behind each healthy smile is a dentist with the appropriate tools, materials, and reliable equipment. But for decades, Indian dentists had an unseen issue: a splintered supply base, restricted access to high-quality products, and expensive middlemen.

The Challenges of DentalKart

In 2016, Dr. Vikas Agarwal and Sandeep Aggarwal — both long-established in the dental community — realized they could do better. They imagined one easy-to-use online platform where dental practitioners could access everything they required — from simple instruments to latest digital dentistry equipment. And so, DentalKart came into being.

It was a simple concept but revolutionary for the profession: a single e-commerce site with more than 20,000 dental items, selected by dentists, for dentists. You were an urban clinic tearing along, or a tiny practice in the sticks — DentalKart guaranteed quick, hassle-free delivery — no more extended waiting periods or dubious vendors.

Strategic Growth

To fuel this promise, DentalKart constructed an extensive network of logistics going up to 20,000+ pin codes in India. A small-town dentist could now receive the same world-class product as a doctor in Delhi or Mumbai — leveling the field for patient care.

But DentalKart didn’t stop at sales. It championed green and ethical practices, ensuring responsible sourcing and minimizing waste in packaging. Its team, driven by a collaborative culture, works tirelessly to innovate on customer delight, training, and support.

Financial Performance

Financially, DentalKart’s success shines bright: in FY23, they clocked ₹173 crore in revenue, serving a thriving base of over 1,68,000 dental professionals and partnering with 50+ dealers.

Institutional Support and Future Prospects

Looking to the future, DentalKart is set to become India's leading hyperlocal dental commerce leader, delivering even quicker fulfillment, local service assistance, and a vibrant community for professional development and learning.

In an era when oral health matters but can be easily neglected, DentalKart has emerged as the behind-the-scenes support enabling thousands of dentists to provide confident smiles — patient by patient.
