The idea

Health outcomes have a physical layer. A hospital that ventilates badly spreads infection. A village without a working drain and a tap connection produces the waterborne disease its clinic then treats.

We work on both sides of that line, the facility and the environment around it, under one roof: the hospital, the special school and the centre of excellence on one side; the waste facility, the solar micro-grid, the tap connection and the livelihood shed of a tribal village or an island on the other. We do so inside the discipline of a group whose parent works on population health governance, so the building and the district it serves are read together.

Where we work

Tamil Nadu and pan-India. We are comfortable in rural, tribal and Scheduled Area contexts, and we sequence work around community authorisation where the law requires it, with consent and communication in the language people actually speak.

About the company

Nedumudi Kaari Health Infra & Environmental Solutions Private Limited is a Chennai-based architecture, engineering and environmental infrastructure company. It designs and builds the physical layer that public health depends on: eco-friendly hospitals, special schools and centres of excellence built to the guidelines and statutory regulations that govern them, and self-sufficient environmental solutions for tribal villages and islands.

What the company is chartered to do

In plain English, from the Memorandum of Association:

  • Architectural and engineering services and related technical consultancy.
  • The design, planning, development, construction and maintenance of hospitals, dispensaries, clinics, laboratories and health facilities.
  • The development of infrastructure, including buildings, roads, water and sanitary works, wells, reservoirs, drainage and electrical works, with the design, estimation, planning, modelling and analysis these require.
  • Consulting and advisory services in infrastructure and environmental fields.
  • The development of population governance and research capability.

Group context

Nedumudi Kaari is a company of the Honeybee Population Healthcare Foundation (HPHF) group. The Foundation works on population health governance: verified registries of a district's people, premises and natural systems, and the institutional capacity for a district administration to own and run them.

Nedumudi Kaari is the group's built-environment arm. Where the Foundation's work needs a facility, a data centre, a training campus, a tap connection or a drain, this company designs and delivers it. The two are kept distinct: the group's programme documents describe a mandate, not this company's completed work, and they are presented on this site under that label.

Governance

The company is governed by its Board of Directors, which meets as required under the Companies Act 2013 and approves the annual accounts, the appointment of officers and the acceptance of engagements above the thresholds set in its delegation of authority. Day-to-day management rests with the Director & Chief Executive Officer.

Statutory filings with the Registrar of Companies are made on schedule. Engagement-level decisions on design, procurement and site are recorded in writing, and every factual claim on this site is traceable to a document the company holds.

Board and leadership

The name

The HPHF group names its companies after figures and words from Sangam-era Tamil literature. Nedumudi and Kaari belong to that thread.

Editorial note. The intended meaning of the name is to be confirmed by the founder before this paragraph is published in full. Nothing is to be invented here.

What we do

Five areas of work. Each is described by what we deliver, not by what we promise.

Services

Healthcare infrastructure

Eco-friendly hospitals, special schools and care centres for children with autism, centres of excellence for teaching and research, and the clinics, laboratories and day-care facilities around them. Every one of them is planned to the guidelines and statutory regulations that govern it, and as a machine for infection control and patient flow before it is anything else. The experience behind this service is the hospital record of our Director & CEO: multi-speciality hospitals of 50, 30 and 20 beds and a 24-hour clinic, described on the Capability page.

What we deliver

  • Functional planning and departmental adjacency, worked through with clinical staff
  • Eco-friendly design: daylight and natural ventilation, rainwater harvesting, low-energy services, and materials and planting suited to the site
  • Special schools and care centres for children with autism: zoning of quiet and active areas, acoustic treatment, controlled lighting, secure play and therapy spaces
  • Centres of excellence: teaching, training and research facilities attached to a hospital or a district health system
  • Compliance with the guidelines and statutory regulations that apply: Indian Public Health Standards, the National Building Code, state clinical-establishment rules, fire and pollution-control norms, and NABH standards
  • Infection-control-led layout: clean and dirty streams, isolation, hand-hygiene points
  • Ventilation strategy and indoor environmental quality: air changes, pressure relationships, daylight, thermal comfort
  • Patient, visitor, staff and materials flow, including emergency and mortuary routes
  • Phased construction on live campuses without interrupting clinical services
  • Medical-gas, electrical, plumbing and fire services coordination
  • Statutory approvals: planning permission, fire, pollution control, clinical-establishment registration support
  • Mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings for the facility
  • Interiors, fixed furniture and equipment layouts, and turnkey handover
  • Hospital equipment planning and procurement support: schedules, room-by-room lists and vendor coordination
  • NABH accreditation preparation: gap assessment of the building against the standards, the facility changes and documentation the assessment needs
  • Quality audit of an operating hospital building: infection-control routes, ventilation, services and safety, with a corrective works list

Accreditation. We prepare a facility for assessment. Accreditation itself is granted by the accrediting body, and we make no claim on its behalf.

Who it is for

Hospital promoters and trusts, medical colleges, special schools and rehabilitation centres, district health administrations, primary and community health centre programmes, diagnostic chains, and corporate social responsibility committees funding a facility.

A typical engagement

Brief and site reconnaissance; a clinical and functional programme agreed with the promoter; schematic design with bed-count, department and flow options; detailed design and BIM model; tender documentation; construction supervision or turnkey execution; commissioning support and an operations and maintenance file at handover.

Environmental solutions for tribal villages and islands

The works outside the facility that decide what the facility has to treat, designed to be self-sufficient: off-grid where the grid does not reach, built from what the area has, and run by the village or island committee that will own them. Every item here is framed by the health outcome it produces.

What we deliver

  • Waste management facilities: segregation and material-recovery sheds, composting and biogas units, and safe disposal for what remains, sized to the village or island rather than to a town
  • Renewable energy: solar micro-grids, solar pumping, biogas and battery storage, so that a clinic, a school and a cold room work without a grid connection
  • Water supply schemes and household tap connections, so that drinking water reaches the home rather than the roadside
  • Sanitation systems, including community and institutional toilets
  • Greywater management for households and facilities
  • Livelihood infrastructure: processing and drying sheds, cold rooms, market sheds and workspaces for forest produce, fisheries and craft
  • Storm-water drainage and sewers, to remove standing water and the vectors that breed in it
  • Wells, sumps, overhead tanks and reservoirs
  • Internal roads and approach roads, so that an ambulance can reach a village in the monsoon
  • Site electrical works, including supply for pumps and facilities
  • Survey, design, estimation, tender documents and supervision for all of the above

Who it is for

Tribal welfare and island administrations, Panchayats and municipal bodies, district administrations, rural development and public-health engineering departments, mission-mode programmes closing the last gaps in coverage, and CSR programmes adopting villages.

A typical engagement

Reconnaissance and household survey; a resource balance for the village or island, covering water, energy, waste and produce; design of each facility to run on that balance; estimate and schedule; community authorisation where the area requires it; execution with local labour and materials where possible; commissioning, and a simple operation and maintenance manual left with the committee that will run it.

Services

Environmental quality and compliance advisory

The regulatory layer of an infrastructure project, and the quality of the air, light and heat inside a building once it is built.

What we deliver

  • Environmental and regulatory compliance for infrastructure projects: consents to establish and operate, environmental clearance where applicable, biomedical-waste authorisation for health facilities
  • Indoor environmental quality assessment for healthcare and institutional buildings: ventilation rates, air quality, daylight, thermal comfort, acoustics
  • Remediation design for existing buildings that ventilate, light or cool badly
  • Green infrastructure and site ecology: rainwater harvesting, planting, shade, permeable surfaces
  • Documentation and approvals, prepared to the standard a tender evaluation committee expects

Who it is for

Hospital and institutional operators with an existing building that under-performs; developers who need a compliance path before construction; public bodies preparing works in sensitive or forested areas.

A typical engagement

A survey and measurement period; a written assessment with findings and options; the design and drawings for the option chosen; support through the approval process; and verification measurements after the work is done.

Infrastructure for population health governance

The bridge to the group's work. A district that wants to govern health from a verified record needs physical places for that record to live, for its field staff to work from, and for its people to be trained in.

What we are positioned to deliver

This page describes capability and mandate. None of it is presented as a completed contract.

  • District data and command-centre facilities: the building, power, cooling and security envelope for a district-owned data platform, designed so that the administration owns the premises as it owns the data
  • Field infrastructure for registry and enrolment operations: enrolment points and field offices in taluka and village settings, sized for offline-first work where connectivity is poor
  • Connectivity and power for last-mile facilities: solar and backup supply, structured cabling and equipment rooms for sub-centres and clinics
  • Buildings and works for centres of excellence and training: teaching space, laboratories and residential accommodation for the local cadre a programme leaves behind
  • Environmental works scoped to the residual gap that national missions leave: water, sanitation, waste, air quality, vector control and green infrastructure at village scale

Who it is for

State and district administrations establishing a population governance platform; multilateral and bilateral programme teams; the group's own programmes, where this company would be selected through the client's own procurement.

A typical engagement

Would follow the programme's own gates: a preparatory phase in which sites are identified and community authorisation obtained; a demonstration phase in which a small number of field facilities are built and measured; and a scale phase in which the district facilities follow, each authorised on the verified result of the last.

How we work

A project runs in a fixed sequence. Each step is signed off before the next begins, and the estimate is revisited at every step.

  1. Brief and site reconnaissance

    What the facility or work is for, who will use it, and what the site actually allows. We walk the site before we draw it.

  2. Survey, feasibility and costing

    Topographic and services survey, soil where needed, a feasibility note with options, and a first estimate the client can take to its board or department.

  3. Design development and BIM

    Schematic design, then detailed design in a coordinated model so that structure, services and architecture are resolved before they reach site.

  4. Statutory approvals and compliance

    Planning, fire, pollution control and sector-specific registrations, prepared and followed through by us.

  5. Community authorisation where applicable

    In Scheduled Areas the Gram Sabha is a competent authority. Where the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act or the Forest Rights Act applies, authorisation precedes work. It is not a formality we schedule around.

  6. Construction or turnkey execution

    Under our supervision as consultant, or delivered by us as turnkey contractor, with a named person responsible for completion and a programme the client can see.

  7. Commissioning, handover and O&M documentation

    Testing and commissioning, snag closure, as-built drawings and an operation and maintenance file that a facility manager or a village committee can actually use.

Working in tribal and Scheduled Area districts

Three things are true of how we work in these districts, and they come from the group's own field practice rather than from a policy document.

Local authorisation precedes work. Consent obtained in a language a person does not speak is not consent, so communication happens in the language people actually use, with interpreters where needed. And schedules follow the village calendar, the agricultural season and the Gram Sabha cycle, rather than the reverse.

This makes projects slower to start and more reliable to finish. We consider that the right trade.

Experience our team brings

The company was incorporated in July 2023. The experience below belongs to the people who run it, and is attributed to them. It is the project record of Dhiliban Bala, Director & CEO, across thirteen years of practice as design consultant, turnkey architect and interior architect, carried out at Kapture Arch and in his earlier independent practice.

How this record is written. Projects are described by typology and location; client names are withheld until written permission to publish them is on file. In the illustrated record, completed work, work under construction and proposals are labelled as such; the table of further projects lists scope and role only. Bed counts and areas are those recorded in the project files. Drawings and renderings are from the Director & CEO’s professional portfolio.

Mandate and positioning

The group's programme documents describe work this company would be positioned to deliver, were the programmes to proceed and were the company selected through the client's own procurement. They are listed here in that voice, and not as a portfolio.

  • District data and command-centre facilities, field enrolment infrastructure and training facilities for a district-owned population and planetary-health platform in a Scheduled Area district, proceeding village by village, taluka by taluka, on verified results.
  • Village-scale water, sanitation, waste, air-quality, vector-control and green-infrastructure works scoped to the residual gap national missions leave, sequenced after Gram Sabha and Forest Rights authorisation.
  • A multi-disciplinary research campus concept for the Chennai region, combining a multi-speciality hospital, a common biomedical-waste treatment facility, a data centre and a teaching and research campus on a shared site.

No figures. Programme sizes, budgets and financing are deliberately absent from this site.

Leadership and team

Dhiliban Bala, Director & Chief Executive Officer

Dhiliban Bala

Director & Chief Executive Officer

Dhiliban Bala is an architect with over thirteen years across practice and academia. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from AMACE School of Architecture (2006–2011) and a Master of Architecture from RVS School of Architecture (2014–2016), where his postgraduate research was in indoor environmental quality: the ventilation, air, light and thermal conditions inside a building. In a hospital those conditions decide whether infection spreads, which is why that research sits at the centre of this company's healthcare work.

Since 2017 he has been Senior Architect at Kapture Arch, as design consultant on hospital projects and as turnkey architect for residential and commercial work, with responsibility for team management and completion timelines. From 2022 to 2024 he was Assistant Professor at RSA, where he directed the design studio, lectured in theory, coordinated the academic programme and guided theses, and handled the school's Anna University affiliation, Council of Architecture approval and admissions. Earlier he ran an independent practice (2012–2014) and was Junior Architect at VKAN Architects (2011–2012).

His healthcare record includes completed multi-speciality hospitals of 50 beds at Erode, 30 beds at Manapparai and 20 beds at Ariyalur, a 10-bed 24-hour clinic at Mettur for the Honeybee Population Healthcare Foundation, hospitals at Mettur and Kallakurichi and a hospital interior proposal at Kangeyam, together with NABH accreditation preparation, quality audits and equipment procurement for hospital clients. His institutional, residential and interior projects span Coimbatore, Chennai, Trichy and the northern and western districts of Tamil Nadu, with hotel designs, at design stage, for Kannur, Kerala, and the Kolli Hills.

Privacy policy

This policy is written to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. It describes what this website collects, why, and for how long.

What we collect

The enquiry form collects your name, email address, organisation, role, enquiry type, district or location and your message. Nothing else on this site collects personal data. No cookies are set. No third-party trackers or advertising pixels are used.

Why

Purpose limitation applies: we use enquiry details to respond to your enquiry and, if it becomes an engagement, to administer that engagement. We do not add you to a mailing list and we do not share your details with anyone outside the company except our email provider.

Retention

Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement are deleted twelve months after our last reply. Engagement records are kept for the period the Companies Act 2013 and the Income-tax Act 1961 require.

Your rights

You may ask what personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or erased, and withdraw consent at any time, by writing to the grievance officer below. We reply within the period the Act allows.

Grievance officer

Grievance Officer, Nedumudi Kaari Health Infra & Environmental Solutions Private Limited, No. 36/4, Palavayal Road, Agaram, Perambur, Chennai 600082. Email admin@nkhies.in.
