Driving change. Transforming India.

Talent is equally distributed but opportunity is not. I decided to change this sense of unfairness into a sense of purpose by asking: How do I bring equity of opportunity so that a child born in a small town or a low-income family has access to the same high quality education that a rich child from metro does? I believe that if we can transform schools where a child spends six hours everyday, we can transform India.

When we started StarHealth, our aspiration was to meet the average citizen’s need to manage healthcare expenses. As we’ve grown, the work has become so much more meaningful: it’s personal, compassionate and touches so many lives.

We never set out to become salon entrepreneurs. Initially we got into the business to help a friend. Because we were from outside the beauty world, ‘out-of-the-box thinking’ came easily and we could introduce innovation and discipline from other domains, which became key to our successful growth strategy.

While working in investment banking, my future business partner and I realized that rent-yielding real estate had excellent returns, but most smaller investors couldn’t access the market. We decided to combine our interests in technology and investing, and created a way to disrupt this entrenched industry, democratizing alternative investment.

When you accept your reality, your mindset shifts from focusing on problems, to developing solutions. Simply by accepting what is before us we can generate optimism and meet the future with less anxiety.

With growing disposable income in our country, people are eager to mingle and have beautiful everyday experiences. This was the motivation behind Third Wave; to bring great local coffee and food together with architectural spaces that inspire, to create uplift in one space and in a way that India had never seen before.

Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. When we were working in the pharma industry, we realized 80% or more of the people in our country do not complete their full medicine dose because of affordability challenges. That’s how TrueMeds was born. Our goal is to democratize medicine purchase and bring a revolution to the Indian healthcare industry.
