● Over the years, Virohan has helped over 10,000 allied healthcare professionals build successful careers in the healthcare sector.

●The partnership aims to strengthen the workforce of skilled and certified Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLTs) to meet Orange Health Labs’ rising demand, which is expected to grow from 300 to 1,000 hires annually over the next five years.

With India’s medical diagnostics market projected to grow significantly and reach USD 44.87 billion by 2030, Virohan, a leading institute for healthcare education, has partnered with Orange Health Labs to offer Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) students internships and job opportunities across 76 cities, including major hubs like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru.

Orange Health Labs, launched in 2020, is a leading diagnostics provider in India, offering fast, at-home medical testing with 60-minute sample collection and reports delivered within six hours. Its mission is to make high-quality diagnostics accessible and convenient. By revolutionizing the industry with its on-demand, at-home testing model and partnering with over 1,000 clinics, Orange Health is committed to making healthcare more efficient and patient-centric. The company currently hires around 300 MLT professionals annually, with demand expected to grow to 1,000 professionals per year over the next five years as it expands its reach.

Virohan equips future Medical Laboratory Technologists with comprehensive education and training in clinical pathology, hematology, immunology, serology, and many more. The curriculum includes subjects such as biochemistry, histopathology, and cytopathology, along with advanced skills in blood banking and laboratory management. By combining classroom education with hands-on diagnostic practice, Virohan aims to bridge the gap between education and employment—producing work-ready talent for India’s rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystem.

“We are delighted to partner with Orange Health Labs, a pioneer in rapid diagnostics. Our students will gain real-world exposure to high-quality diagnostic services that are redefining patient care in India,” said Nalin Saluja, Co-Founder & CTO of Virohan. “The demand for skilled professionals in India’s diagnostics sector is rising rapidly, and this collaboration is more than just a job opportunity, it’s a leap forward in how healthcare education is delivered and experienced. With ten of our students already placed, the partnership is off to a strong start.”

“At Orange Health Labs, speed and precision define everything we do, from delivering test results to shaping the future of diagnostics. Our partnership with Virohan is about more than just hiring; it’s about mentoring the next generation of allied healthcare professionals who will drive change in the industry,” said Tarun Bhambra, Co-Founder & CEO of Orange Health Labs.”We believe in training professionals who not only understand the technicalities of diagnostics but also value empathy and patient care. With Virohan’s industry-aligned education, these students will be an asset to our mission of making quality diagnostics accessible across India.”

While technology and AI have enhanced the efficiency of the entire ecosystem, a pressing concern remains: the growing shortage of skilled frontline workers like phlebotomists. As traditional diagnostic collection centers phase out, the demand for MLT professionals is set to rise sharply, particularly in urban areas, yet India’s skilling ecosystem remains unprepared. According to GlobeNewswire, the country’s diagnostics sector is projected to triple by 2030, but a significant talent gap threatens to hinder this growth.

India’s healthcare industry continues to face a persistent disconnect between theoretical learning and the practical competencies required on the job. Virohan’s mission is to close this gap through industry-aligned curricula and employer-integrated programs. With over 2,000 employer partners and a 98% placement rate, the company continues to build pathways to dignified, future-ready healthcare careers.
