TIMELINE

Our Financial Vision

WeHear was born in 2017 with a clear vision: ensuring everyone has access to affordable hearing healthcare. Funded by seed capital, government grants, and an innovation hub, our initial years focused on validating ideas, research, and development.
A turning point came in 2021 with Victora Group’s investment. This allowed us to transform promising concepts into working prototypes, which were then rigorously tested on over 1,000 individuals. Recognizing our potential, SRK Group joined forces in 2022, providing resources to validate products across various markets. By 2023, with 7 patents secured and certifications obtained, Ortin Investments positioned us for initial growth.
WeHear’s success culminated in Shark Tank India Season 3, where Peyush Bansal of Lenskart offered the show’s highest valuation of Rs 250 crores.
Today, WeHear boasts a diverse product portfolio and a bold ambition: to empower 10 million people globally every year. To achieve this, we seek partnerships with purpose-driven investors who share our commitment to social impact and creating lasting value.
