Passionate About Transforming Healthcare

Healthcare isn’t just my profession—it’s my purpose. With expertise in both medicine and entrepreneurship, I bridge the gap between healthcare innovation and real-world impact.

Turning Ideas into Impactful Solutions

Innovation needs the right strategy to succeed. I specialize in:

  • Identifying Market Opportunities – Pinpointing scalable, high-impact solutions.
  • Fast-Tracking Innovation – Developing Class II IPR-protected devices that bypass higher regulatory hurdles, reducing costs and accelerating time-to-market.
  • Scaling Products Internationally – Launching regulatory-compliant healthcare solutions globally within six months.

Building & Scaling Businesses

A great idea is just the beginning—scaling it into a profitable business requires strategy. My expertise includes:

  • Leading a healthcare startup to a 30X valuation in two years, culminating in a profitable exit.
  • Maintaining zero debt, ensuring sustainable growth.
  • Designing and executing scalable funding models to navigate complex regulations.

    Driving Innovation & Mentorship

    Beyond building products, I focus on making healthcare solutions accessible, scalable, and sustainable. I co-founded a DIPP-recognized healthcare startup that introduced cost-effective, high-impact medical solutions and have mentored entrepreneurs at national, state, and institutional levels.

    I also advise investors on high-growth healthcare ventures, helping them make informed decisions while avoiding costly pitfalls.

    Recognition & Thought Leadership

    • Featured in national media for pioneering affordable, patent-protected medical devices.
    • Holder of multiple intellectual property rights, showcasing expertise in commercialization & innovation.
    • Active mentor in national innovation programs, shaping the next generation of health-tech entrepreneurs.

      MY INNOVATION JOURNEY

      From Clinical Expertise to Purpose-Driven Innovation

      Innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about solving real problems at scale. My journey has been defined by merging deep clinical insight with sustainable, scalable thinking to build impactful healthtech and environmental solutions.

      Bridging Borders with Breakthrough Therapeutics

      • Led Indo–US Strategic Collaborations for Oncolytic Virus therapies.

      • Translated Advanced Research into Real-World Impact.

      • Pioneered Cross-Border Innovation Models for next-gen breakthroughs.

      From Waste to Energy: Sustainable Environmental Innovation

      As a Board Director at a Waste2Energy startup, I worked on:

      • Cleaning rivers and rejuvenating lakes with bio-conversion technologies
      • Transforming organic waste into renewable fuel
      • Aligning public health with environmental sustainability

      Inventing Accessible, Affordable Medical Technologies

      • Co-developed the world’s first wireless & handheld video laryngoscopes.
      • Designed indigenous UV-C disinfection systems for hospital safety and infection control.
      • These cut costs by 60% while expanding access.

      Redefining Preventive Healthcare with Deep Tech

      • AI/ML-powered early detection of cancer, cardiac events, and glaucoma
      • Real-time detection of anaphylaxis during chemotherapy
      • Remote vital monitoring systems to safely move patients from HCC units to general wards, cutting costs and cross-infections

      Every Attempt, A Strategic Step Forward

      Not every innovation scaled—some were paused due to regulatory shifts or entrenched systems. But each effort sharpened my insight into the healthtech ecosystem, regulation, and execution.

      I’ve stepped away when success meant compromising ethics. Because innovation, to me, must serve both purpose and principle.

      This Journey Is Ongoing

      From scaling a venture from ₹0 to ₹30 Cr in 18 months, entering two international markets, and receiving US regulatory clearance—I’ve combined vision with execution.

      Yes, compromise could have yielded a ₹100 Cr+ valuation. But shortcuts today shape tomorrow’s culture. And I believe in building an ecosystem where trust, ethics, and long-term thinking define our future.

      Let’s Shape the Future of Healthcare Together
