Biomedical engineer, CSSD layout design consultant, and Associate Director at ARKTech Scientific — helping hospitals across India and South Asia build compliant, space-optimized sterile processing departments from the ground up.
"CSSD is the foundation of any surgical centre and hospital. If the foundation is strong, you can build ensuring safety — enhancing lives."— Kush Arora
Kush Arora is a biomedical engineer, CSSD layout design consultant, and hospital sterilization expert based in Ghaziabad, India. As Associate Director – Sales & Marketing at ARKTech Scientific Pvt. Ltd., he leads business development, CSSD project consulting, and international expansion for one of India's most experienced sterilization equipment manufacturers.
What sets Kush apart is a rare combination: he grew up on the factory floor of a sterilizer manufacturing unit — watching autoclaves being built since childhood — and then pursued advanced biomedical engineering education at Drexel University, Philadelphia, followed by years of consulting and analytics work in the United States at global organizations including Johnson & Johnson and IQVIA — ranked No. 1 in its sector on Fortune's World's Most Admired Companies list for five consecutive years, and recognized among the top healthcare consulting firms globally.
This dual foundation — a lifetime of factory-floor intuition combined with global healthcare consulting discipline — gives Kush an engineering-first, data-informed perspective on CSSD design that is uncommon in the Indian market. He returned to India in 2020 to take the family's 60-year legacy forward, and has since personally designed 50+ CSSD layouts, delivered 25+ turnkey sterilization projects, and built relationships with some of India's most prestigious hospitals.
Grew up in a sterilizer manufacturing family. B.Tech in Biomedical Engineering from VIT University (2013). Developed an intuitive understanding of autoclave design, fabrication, and hospital workflows from childhood.
Master's in Biomedical Engineering from Drexel University, Philadelphia. Gained exposure to global healthcare systems, regulatory frameworks, and research-grade sterilization standards.
Worked in the United States across consulting, process improvement, data analytics, and business analysis roles at Johnson & Johnson and IQVIA — building expertise in healthcare operations, process optimization, and strategic consulting.
Returned to India to lead ARKTech Scientific. Now drives CSSD consulting, layout design, business development, and international expansion — combining legacy manufacturing strength with modern engineering precision.
Kush operates at the intersection of CSSD design consulting and sterilization equipment manufacturing — an unusual position that allows him to see the complete picture, from layout planning to equipment commissioning to post-installation performance.
Specialist in designing compliant, workflow-optimized CSSD layouts — especially in space-constrained environments. Has designed functional CSSDs in areas as compact as 300 sq. ft. with 500-litre sterilization capacity. Proficient in AutoCAD and SolidWorks for precision layout engineering.
Designs every CSSD around strict unidirectional flow — from soiled to sterile — ensuring zero cross-contamination risk, logical zone separation, and smooth staff movement. Solves complex workflow challenges including multi-floor CSSDs with integrated dumbwaiter systems.
Deep understanding of NABH, JCI, AACI, and NABL requirements for sterile processing departments. Ensures every design meets or exceeds accreditation standards, reducing compliance risk and facilitating smoother hospital audits.
Leverages decades of autoclave manufacturing expertise to recommend and customize sterilization equipment — autoclaves, washer-disinfectors, scrub stations — matched precisely to each facility's capacity, space, and budget constraints.
Personally visits every project site for assessment before designing the CSSD layout. Coordinates with hospital architects, MEP consultants, and infection control committees to ensure the design integrates seamlessly with the facility's infrastructure.
Approaches CSSD design as a clinical intervention — not just an infrastructure project. Has helped hospitals reduce post-operative infection rates by designing sterilization workflows that address the root causes of contamination and instrument reprocessing failures.
Built on a 60+ year manufacturing legacy through Yorco Scientific Udyog Pvt. Ltd.
Kush has designed and delivered CSSD solutions across the full spectrum of healthcare facilities — from compact 40-bed nursing homes with 300 sq. ft. of available space, to large 1200-bed multi-specialty hospitals with 3500+ sq. ft. sterile processing departments. This range includes single-floor layouts, complex double-storied CSSDs split across two floors, facilities with integrated dumbwaiter systems, and hospitals facing infrastructure challenges such as inadequate drainage pipelines.
India's reality is space-constrained. Most hospitals operate in tight footprints where every square foot matters. Kush has built a reputation for designing CSSDs that are fully compliant with NABH and infection control norms — even when the available space would seem insufficient. His approach combines creative spatial problem-solving with deep regulatory knowledge and practical manufacturing experience.
Kush and the Arktech team have worked with a diverse portfolio of healthcare institutions — from premier private hospitals to government medical colleges and research universities.
Every CSSD designed by Kush is built to meet or exceed the requirements of leading national and international healthcare accreditation bodies. His designs ensure hospitals are audit-ready from day one.
Kush is working toward a future where every hospital in India and across emerging markets has access to well-designed, compliant, and efficiently engineered sterile processing infrastructure — regardless of size or budget.
His goals over the next five years are focused on three pillars: establishing ARKTech Scientific as a recognized CSSD design consultancy serving South Asia and Africa, building an education and awareness initiative around the critical importance of sterile processing in patient safety, and positioning Arktech as a globally recognized sterilization equipment brand built on Indian engineering excellence.
With Arktech's first international export order to Nepal completed in March 2026, the global journey has already begun.
Whether you're planning a new CSSD, upgrading an existing sterile processing department, or need expert guidance on layout design and accreditation compliance — Kush and the Arktech team are ready to help.
