FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SS Innovations International, Inc. (the “Company” or “SS Innovations”) (OTC: SSII), a developer of innovative surgical robotic technologies dedicated to making world class robotic surgery affordable and accessible to a global population, today announced that it has engaged BDO India LLP (“BDO”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Company believes that the selection of BDO will facilitate SS Innovations’ strategy to uplist its common stock to a National Securities Exchange. In addition, the engagement of BDO reflects the Company’s commitment to transparent financial and accounting practices and regulatory compliance.

SS Innovations has demonstrated significant operational success, reporting 32 successful installations of its flagship SSi Mantra Surgical Robotic System in medical facilities across India. This innovative robotic surgical system has been integral to the launch of four cardiac surgery programs, broadening the spectrum of robotic cardiac surgeries available in India. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, SS Innovations sold 8 SSi Mantra Surgical Robotic Systems and reported revenues of approximately US $7 million, which exceeds revenues reported for the entire year ended December 31, 2023.

“SS Innovations is committed to democratizing access to quality healthcare while ensuring transparency for our shareholders,” stated SS Innovations’ Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Sudhir Srivastava. “The engagement of an audit firm of the caliber and reputation of BDO is a crucial component of this commitment, serving as a bridge to our uplisting strategy and reflecting our dedication to open and transparent financial and accounting practices. This initiative is part of our broader mission to bring advanced, precise surgical solutions to every corner of the globe and to make top-tier medical care accessible to all.”

Barry Cohen, COO of the Americas for SS Innovations, added, “Engaging BDO as our auditor is a strategic move which we believe will facilitate our journey to uplist our common stock to a National Securities Exchange. Our operational achievements, demonstrated by over 1,200 operations performed using the SSi Mantra, showcase our readiness for sustained, long-term growth. This is not just a procedural step but an instrumental one, which will help prepare us for the next phase of expansion, and help solidify our market position.”

Mr. Cohen further noted, “The SSi Mantra has been clinically validated in 70 types of surgical procedures, demonstrating mitigation of R&D risk. We are targeting a global market, beginning with India, which alone has a population of 1.4 billion people and about 70,000 hospitals. We have begun to capture market share in India with our 32 SSi Mantra installations. We look forward to continuing to showcase SSi Mantra’s affordability, reliability and unique capabilities in a diverse and demanding healthcare environment.”
