Since the advent of the pandemic, the healthcare industry is already under the immense pressure. While COVID may be a bigger threat but this certainly does not eradicate the sensitivity of other medical conditions. The healthcare industry as a whole is under a challenging situation with half of the staff dedicated to COVID, the other medical conditions are equally suffering. People or patients have started denying going to a hospital for regular examinations, questioning the safety of their health. This is another valid point that people have started fearing they might get infected with COVID at a medical facility.
How do we tackle this? By proper sanitization and other necessary safety measures.
Healthcare can never compromise in sanitization. COVID-19 has stressed enough the importance of sanitization and how mere sanitizing efforts can revoke a pandemic. Dealing with infections is not new for healthcare facilities, this is why the hygiene and sanitation practices are at par. Reach Global India Pvt Ltd (ORO) has been acting as the gatekeeper of healthcare products and knows widely as the “ORO- YOUR INFECTION GUARD”.
Infection Guard of Healthcare
Reach Global India Pvt Ltd (Oro) started its journey in 2009, at a small rented shop. Soon, the company started gaining its ground and not long before was reigning the Dentistry industry of India. The Founder and Director, Sameer Baldota had previously worked at Piramal glass in Pharma packaging for 4 years. Drawing this experience, he was able to build a successful company in the healthcare arena. In 2009, the company partnered with another firm and by 2012 shifted to an independent PVT Ltd firm.
Reach Global India Pvt Ltd had marked itself on the map of leading manufacturers, and hence by 2014, Sameer Baldota launched his own brand called ORO. ORO catered to dental consumables and later expanded its roots in other healthcare gears. These dental consumables were rapidly being demanded and delivered PAN India. ORO soon reached the global market and now delivers to more than 40+ countries.
“Since the beginning, our target is always to support healthcare to stop having HAI’s (healthcare-associated infections),” explained Sameer Baldota. The journey of Reach Global India Pvt Ltd started with this mission and now the team delivers a sterile package and sterility monitors to control HAI’s—hence the name “ORO-Your Infection Guard”.
The Make in India Initiative
India launched a ‘Make in India’ initiative which was launched with an aim to facilitate investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect intellectual property and build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure in the country. The goal is to serve the products anywhere in the world but manufacture in India. This initiative was a boon for several entrepreneurs in India.
Sameer Baldota describes ‘Make in India’ as a great concept to turn the dream into reality. The concept connects with an emotional chord and harmonizes the vision of building your own company. Boosting the number of successful ventures in India, the initiative is turning out to be a success.

Tête-à-tête Corner
What are your views on the current pandemic situation?
The current pandemic is surely devastating. I believe that extending a helping hand towards society can help us all get through this. To overcome the crisis, we have started a social service where the entire team is helping the COVID patients to have access to free home-cooked meals in our locality.
Being operating in the healthcare niche, did pandemics cause a surge in demand?
We are currently dealing in safety wear, sterility monitoring, and sterilization packaging products. The demand has surged and we observed the shortage of PPE-Kits. So, we have developed in-house PPE Kits and protection wear to serve the nation with the current scenario.
The pandemic has forced us to change our working culture, how has this change affected your company’s overall performance?
When you talk about performance… I think work from home is a fantastic concept to increase the efficiency of each employee. Initially, it was a little difficult for the team as they were facing many challenges in coordinating with each other as we are a product-based company, but with time everyone is now enjoying it. When your team performs surely the company is going to perform. Luckily, we fall in essential services and try our best to keep our factory workers motivated as we are making PPE equipment.
Please walk us through your future planning, what can we expect from Global Reach?
Our efforts are to support the industry with high-quality products made in India. The production will be acquiring all the required International certifications. And our state-of-the-art facility will be having cleanroom production. On a broader note, our product range will be catering to all the requirements under “Your Infection Guard”.
Amid the chaos, how have you stayed motivated? Is there any secret to it?
I think the secret is to get motivated to start doing something. From my experience, the most effective trick for me is to just do it. As soon as you think something needs to be done, jump into it, doing it immediately & effectively. Always have a smile on your face and keep your goal at top of your mind to have a clear thought path It is equally important to keep connected and stay socially aware. And lastly, make sure you carve out time in your day to read.
2020 has brought several changes, what are your expectations from 2021?
We are expecting it as the hope of a new era, with vaccines and the community coming together to fight against the pandemic and help each other in these tough times. Being from the healthcare sector and producer of safety & sterilization products we are aiming to create more awareness of the health and safety of people towards life.
