Founders

A doctor turned entrepreneur – from using stethoscopes to making better ones.

Working with different start-ups at the early stage of my freelancing career gave me a sense of purpose. Decoding ECGs and Coding Applications became my favourite routine. In a bid to discover all that my brain has to offer, I turned into an entrepreneur.

To create a recipe of a doctor’s hard work and a techie’s innovative brain, I became an entrepreneur. I chose to help the doctors for healthcare is focused only on the patient. Hence, we at The Fifth Ventricle have created a few marvelous gadgets like Chesto that’ll change how diagnostics are looked upon. Hope to see you there.

As an MBBS graduate (2019) with a passion for healthcare innovation, I’ve embarked on a dynamic career path encompassing both clinical expertise and technological entrepreneurship. After my graduation, I successfully navigated the rigorous USMLE, aspiring to practice medicine in the United States.

Parallel to this, I co-founded a medical device company, contributing significantly to the development of smart, user-friendly, and accurate medical technologies. My unique blend of medical knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit positions me ideally for roles that demand clinical acumen and innovative thinking in the healthcare sector.
