The dental market has undergone a digital transformation with e-commerce platforms supporting one of the leading suppliers of dental products, Dentalkart, officially known as Vasa Denticity Limited. Dr. Vikas Agarwal and Sandeep Aggarwal founded this company in August 2016, with the mission of providing high-quality dental supplies to dental professionals worldwide. They offer a wide range of more than 15,000 dental products across the country and more than 300 domestic and international brands.
Education background and career paths
Dr. Vikas Agarwal, an alumnus of the University of Delhi, was born on February 14, 1989, in Alwar, Rajasthan. On the other hand, co-founder Sandeep Aggarwal shares the same hometown and was born on February 28, 1990. Sandeep graduated from the LNM Institute of Information Technology in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Together, they combined their expertise in dentistry and technology to establish a comprehensive dental supplies ecosystem, giving birth to the reliable and seamless platform known as Dentalkart.
Dr. Vikas Agarwal is also an angel investor in seven other companies and holds positions on the boards of three others. In contrast, Sandeep Aggarwal serves on the board of another company in addition to being a co-founder of Dentalkart.
The inception of Dentalkart and its successful journey
Both Dr. Vikas and Sandeep initiated their company’s operations at its headquarters in Chattarpur, Delhi. They set up primary warehouses in various parts of the country, including Farrukhnagar, Gurgaon, Bangalore, Kolkata, Mumbai, Nagpur, and Guwahati, to cater to dental professionals across India. Dentalkart began with an initial investment of Rs.10,000 and achieved a revenue of Rs.5.71 lakh within its first year. Over the years, the company has experienced exponential growth, culminating in a revenue of Rs.123 crore in the fiscal year 2022-23.
Formulating partnerships and collaborations for growth
Dentalkart’s growth can be attributed to significant partnerships initiated by the co-founders with Baldus Sedation GmbH & Co. KG and the acquisition of Waldent Innovations Private Limited. Dr. Vikas, MD of the company, and Sandeep Aggarwal, in his role as Director and CFO, have played instrumental roles in strategizing for business expansion. These partnerships have not only facilitated the company’s growth but also enhanced its offerings.
Dentalkart’s success, a focus since day one, revolves around quality and a robust online presence. Their diverse product range encompasses equipment, oral hygiene products, and dental consumables, complemented by more than 25 in-house brands like Endoking, SuperEndo, Eiti, iDentical, NewDiamond, U Ortho, Russia Tor VM, etc. Strong partnerships and expansion plans have firmly established Dentalkart as a prominent dental brand.
Dr. Vikas Agarwal and Sandeep Aggarwal have consistently engaged in initiatives that extend beyond business profits, reflecting their commitment to social responsibility, including contributions to various dental conferences.
