Hearzap — the Hyderabad-based hearing healthcare company founded in 2018 and backed by 360 ONE Asset Management — has completed its acquisition of Amplifon India's hearing healthcare business, following the definitive agreement announced in May 2026. The acquisition was completed on August 18, 2026. Amplifon India operated approximately 240 hearing care points of sale including 115 directly operated locations. Combined, Hearzap's network expands to 420 centres across India, supported by more than 1,000 service providers. Combined topline revenue: expected to cross Rs 230 crore post-integration. Hearzap is targeting Rs 250 crore by FY27 end, and a 500-centre network by 2027. MD: S. Raja. Amplifon India was part of Amplifon Group, one of the world's leading hearing healthcare companies operating across 24 countries.
Hearzap, the Hyderabad-headquartered hearing healthcare company founded in 2018 and backed by 360 ONE Asset Management, announced on August 18-19, 2026 the completion of its acquisition of Amplifon India's hearing healthcare business — a transaction first announced in May 2026. The completed acquisition significantly expands Hearzap's national footprint and combined commercial scale.
What the Acquisition Adds
Amplifon India — the Indian subsidiary of Amplifon Group, a global hearing healthcare company operating across 24 countries — operated approximately 240 hearing care points of sale in India, of which 115 were directly operated locations. The remainder of the network consisted of franchise and partner-operated outlets. Together with Hearzap's existing network, the combined entity now operates 420 centres across India, supported by more than 1,000 service providers spanning audiologists, hearing care specialists, and clinical and technical support staff.
S. Raja, Managing Director of Hearzap, articulated the combined platform's ambition: building a stronger platform to deliver hearing healthcare to millions of Indians, with focus on expanding access, strengthening clinical quality, and delivering personalised care supported by the latest technologies and international best practices. Amplifon India's clinical expertise — built through Amplifon Group's global hearing healthcare standard — provides the quality foundation that Hearzap's scaling ambition requires.
The Commercial Scale
The combined Hearzap-Amplifon India business is expected to cross Rs 230 crore in topline revenue following integration. Hearzap is targeting approximately Rs 250 crore by the end of the current financial year (FY27) and is on a trajectory toward a 500-centre network by 2027 — targeting coverage of metropolitan markets as well as Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities where hearing care access has historically been limited.
India's Hearing Healthcare Opportunity
India's hearing healthcare sector has been one of the most underdeveloped segments of the country's broader healthcare market relative to the clinical burden it serves. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 63 million Indians suffer from significant hearing loss — a number that is growing with an ageing population, urban noise pollution, occupational noise exposure, and the growing prevalence of ototoxic medication use. Despite this large patient population, organised hearing care (professional audiological assessment, properly fitted hearing aids, hearing rehabilitation) has historically reached only a small fraction of those who would benefit from it.
The Hearzap-Amplifon India combination creates the largest organised hearing healthcare network in India — with the scale, clinical standards, and geographic reach to begin addressing this gap systematically. The integration of Amplifon Group's internationally validated clinical protocols into Hearzap's expanding India network brings global hearing care standards to the Indian market.
BHC Perspective
At Bengaluru Health Community, the Hearzap-Amplifon India acquisition is a hearing health consolidation story that mirrors the hospital sector consolidation BHC Media has been tracking. For BHC founders in hearing health technology, audiological AI, or hearing aid fitting platforms — the 420-centre Hearzap network is the commercial partner infrastructure your technology needs to reach patients at scale.
