Romita Ghosh, the founder of MedSamaan says that her mission is to technology to help both doctors and patients take the right decisions at an early stage. ElderCare’s creator Tanvi Mallya provides emotional and intellectual companionship to elderly patients, including those who have been diagnosed with Dementia or related conditions, through her venture. With India’s ageing population set to explode, this is undoubtedly a serious challenge in the coming years.
Going beyond urban areas, delivering a high standard of healthcare to rural areas is one of the aims of the Cygen Group, says Founder, Dr. Tanushree Devi Laishram. The company’s mission is to help prevent lifestyle-related diseases by using predictive analysis, which gives individuals early warning before a disease develops. Behavioural Researcher at Santulan, Khyati Gupta Babbar believes in a three step approach of ‘Science, Play and Action’ based on psychological and body language studies of an individual.
Undoubtedly these women in healthcare and their initiatives to make these benefits available to all sections of our country are applause worthy. They have been early movers towards opportunities that will no doubt grow in the future.

Yuvaraj Shele, a small-time worker from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, did battle many odds and arranged for his mother Ratna’s wedding a few weeks ago. The main point that he put forth was that he felt his mother was lonely and saw the need for her to live happily.
A myth that goes without saying is that only a woman can understand another woman better. What happens when a man does understand what a woman goes through? Especially when the woman is his mother, that too when she is a widow?
This scene does remind of a few movies/web series where the daughter/son do realize their mother’s emotions and towards the end, they approve of their new relationship.
