A Biomedical Engineer by education and an entrepreneur by passion, started my career with lots of ideas and dreams. An incident changed my life!
"Medical Emergency at my family, where we struggled to get Emergency care to survive my sister at great difficulty" That's when my passion towards Healthcare and Entrepreneurship got better clarity. I could see the massive problem and an opportunity to solve it.
"Over 90% of Indians lack access to timely healthcare resulting in patient inconvenience, increased healthcare expenditure, deaths and disabilities". Coming from a rural part of India I have seen and experienced plenty of challenges in the Indian Healthcare ecosystem and I want to dedicate the best of my knowledge, time and investment towards solving Healthcare challenges in India.
Founded VMEDO back in 2015: VMEDO is an online platform for urgent healthcare needs. Assisting people with instant doctor consultation, urgent care at home, diagnostics at home, ambulance services, Hospital admission support and medical supplies during acute health issues or medical emergencies. In the last 8 years, we have assisted over 6 lakh people with various healthcare needs and take pride in saving thousands of lives.
