Founded to commercialise technology developed at Oxford University, Orthox aims to revolutionise the way cartilage injuries are treated. Trauma and erosion of the smooth, stiff cartilage in our joints leads to Osteoarthritis (OA) a debilitating disease, which affects over 300 million patients globally and costs the US economy alone over $128 billion each year.
Current therapies to repair damaged cartilage focus either on tissue regeneration or on functional replacement; Orthox’s exceptionally strong, resilient, regenerative hydrogel technology, FibroFix™ achieves both these goals, offering a unique solution for the millions of patients suffering from damage to their joints.
Initially targeting the knee, Orthox has developed a compelling set of data on lead product FibroFix™ Cartilage which has secured major awards from multiple funding bodies and is currently undergoing evaluation through the FFLEX clinical study being run at major hospitals across Europe. FibroFix™ technology will then be rolled out to treat damaged cartilage in other joints while pipeline products beyond orthopaedics in which the application of great strength and tissue regeneration are key will also be developed.
Pipeline expansion is valuable as growth in the annual global biomaterials market will exceed $250 billion by 2025. Orthopaedic biomaterials will form the largest proportion of this and natural biomaterials, like FibroFix™, will be the fastest growing market segment.

Our Vision:
We are building an asset-light modern retail network of tech-enabled mid-sized grocery stores under the brand “GULLYMART”. We partner with unbranded mid-sized stand-alone stores that wish to become part of a modern retail chain to improve their income and automate their end-to-end operations.
We provide the store with an end-to-end tech-enabled solution consisting of exclusive supply, automatic and data-driven stock replenishment, increased sales, higher margin, superior fulfillment rates and access to credit.
Our Story:
Gully Network was founded by Ajay Nain and Prateek Chaturvedi, alumni of IIT Madras and IIM Ahmedabad. Both the founders had earlier worked in the FMCG & Pharma distribution space. They realized that stand-alone stores can never access the integrated retail-technology and higher margin of Modern Trade retail chains. Hence they took a comprehensive approach to solve their pain points in totality by making them part of a fully tech-enabled Modern retail chain.
We are backed by Orios Venture Partners, Venture Catalysts, Inflection Point Ventures. We are also recognized by Flipkart under their first cohort. We have raised a total of $2M.
