Mardamed today launched its flagship Healthcare Experience Centre (HeX) at Mantri Square Mall, Malleshwaram — a bold new model that brings serious medicine into a familiar, everyday setting. The idea is simple: healthcare should not wait for a crisis; it should be as easy to access as coffee, groceries or a weekend movie.
The centre was inaugurated by Dr. C.N. Manjunath, Member of Parliament and renowned cardiologist, in the presence of healthcare leaders, dignitaries, media representatives and the Mardamed and Mantri Square Mall teams.
Located on the second floor and spread across approximately 15,000 sq. ft., Mardamed HeX combines outpatient consultations, women’s health, pediatrics, internal medicine, ENT, ophthalmology, mental health, physiotherapy and sports medicine, dentistry, advanced diagnostics, pathology, pharmacy, a health-conscious café and mini operating theatres for selected day procedures. It is built for one practical promise: consult, test, scan, treat, recover and follow up — without running around from desk to desk or door to door.
That effort captures Mardamed’s larger belief: if healthcare is to move from reactive sick care to proactive health management, access must become easier. A mall visitor should be able to shop, eat, watch a film — and also check a symptom, complete lab tests, meet a specialist, undergo clinically advised imaging, pick up medicines and continue care online.
The centre is built with strong hygiene, safety and workflow discipline, while the experience has been designed to feel calm, clear and hospitality-led. The ambition is not to make healthcare casual; it is to make it less intimidating and easier to start early.
HeX — Healthcare Experience is Mardamed’s answer to a growing global shift toward care that meets people where they already are. The Bengaluru centre brings together medicine, retail, technology and hospitality to offer accessible, comprehensive care without hospital anxiety.
“We opened a wall and brought in cranes because healthcare must move closer to people. Mardamed is built on a simple belief: integrate healthcare in your lifestyle. Walk in for coffee if you like — but also walk out with clarity about your health. We want advanced care to feel approachable, continuous and human.” — Deepak Marda, Founder, Mardamed
Mardamed HeX is equipped with MRI, CT scan, X-Ray, Ultrasound, Mammography and pathology services, supported by specialist consultations, dentistry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, mental wellness, preventive programs, physiotherapy, and selected day procedures. Its digital platform enables appointments, online consultations, records access, follow-ups and ongoing engagement. It has a points program, Mardamed Pulse, that rewards healthy actions.
The centre serves young professionals, families, women, seniors, people managing chronic conditions and adults focused on longevity. Its public message is direct: routinely take care of health — harmful habits, breathlessness, palpitations, fatigue, skin changes, recurring pain, anxiety, or sleep issues deserve timely attention and interventions.
For journalists, policymakers, mall operators and healthcare innovators, Mardamed raises a timely question: what if the future of healthcare is not hidden behind hospital corridors, but placed in bright, familiar community spaces where people already feel comfortable?
With its first centre in Bengaluru, Mardamed hopes to prove that serious medicine and everyday convenience can coexist — and that caring for health can be hopeful, social, and even a little fun.
Proof point: To bring MRI and CT into a live mall, Mardamed coordinated with mall engineers, safety teams, and equipment specialists to cut large wall openings, including an approximately 10 ft. x 10 ft. opening for CT and MRI entry. The machines were shifted in controlled night windows using a planned 50-ton crane, before the walls were restored. Put simply: the mall opened a wall so advanced healthcare could walk in.
