About

I’ve treated thousands of patients as a doctor, and I’ve walked through my own healing journey too. Somewhere between hospitals, boardrooms, and everyday life, I saw a simple truth: medicine alone wasn’t enough… and wellness alone wasn’t consistent enough. That gap became the starting point of my life’s work. Over the years, I’ve worked as a cardiologist in India and a physician in Singapore, and later moved into product leadership roles after completing my MBA at the Indian School of Business and an exchange program at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley. My work gradually shifted toward building systems, leading multidisciplinary teams, and designing tech-enabled healthcare models that could create impact beyond individual patient consultations. Along the way, my own health challenges opened a new path. I experienced firsthand the power of ancient practices like yoga, pranayama, and breathwork when combined with medical science. This wasn’t alternative medicine it was a deeper, more integrated way of healing. That experience shaped what I now call the Bio-Integrated Health System™ - a framework where medicine, breath, behavior, and data work together to help people heal, not just cope. Today, I work at the intersection of clinical medicine, product innovation, and integrative wellness, helping corporates, hospitals, and health tech startups design health systems that are evidence-based, measurable, and human. I’m deeply passionate about leveraging AI and technology to expand access, improve chronic disease outcomes, and make healthcare scalable. Through YogaHeals, I guide individuals & teams in lifestyle management for chronic physical and mental health conditions integrating therapeutic yoga with medical insight to create sustainable change. My mission is simple: To build a healthcare future where ancient wisdom, modern science, and technology finally work together. If this vision resonates, I’d love to collaborate, co-create, or support your organisation’s wellbeing journey.
