Cent is an AI-led platform focused on early detection of cancer, cardiac, neurological, and metabolic risks in individuals before symptoms appear. The company aims to make people live until they are 100 years old, which is reflected in its name, "Cent" (short for Century).

Product and Services

Cent combines advanced imaging with over 120 biomarkers and AI-driven analysis to screen for over 300 health conditions in a single visit. The company's screening model is built around a proprietary protocol called CCNM (Cardiac, Cancer, Neurological and Metabolic), which integrates whole-body MRI, low-dose CT, DEXA scans, ECG, and blood and urine biomarkers, along with AI-driven synthesis to generate organ-level risk assessments followed by clinical consultation.

Cent has been operational since the first quarter of FY26 and has completed over 1,500 scans so far. According to the company, 26% of these scans revealed clinically meaningful findings, while 4% identified critical conditions requiring immediate medical attention, largely among individuals who were asymptomatic at the time.

Growth and Expansion

Cent is currently growing 50% month-on-month and has reached an annualised revenue run rate of around $2 million. The company aims to complete 50,000 scans this year as it expands capacity. Cent is also building a network of single-purpose detection centres, with the first facilities expected to roll out beginning April 2026 across Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru, followed by expansion into Pune and Hyderabad.

Long-term Ambition

Cent's long-term ambition is to enable 10 million scans and contribute to 1 million lives saved by 2035, as it looks to make early detection a more mainstream part of healthcare in India.
