About

I’m a physician with a deep interest in where healthcare, technology, and human behaviour intersect. Having co-founded and served as Chief Medical Officer at iksa.ai, I’ve spent the past few years exploring how AI can drive real change in patient care, especially in the areas of engagement, adherence, and chronic disease management. Along the way, I’ve discovered I’m equally passionate about helping others build. I work with healthcare startups, mentor aspiring healthtech founders, and speak at events to help bridge the gap between medicine and technology. Right now, I’m: — Advising digital health and AI-first startups — Conducting AI workshops for clinicians and healthcare professionals — Speaking on healthcare innovation, digital transformation, and ethical AI — Mentoring through platforms like Topmate and Mentorly I’m always open to meaningful conversations, collaborative projects, and new opportunities that push healthcare forward, ethically, sustainably, and impactfully. Let’s connect.
