Recently, Women’s Web interviewed some very enterprising women in healthcare, looking at new opportunities for the sector in India. Here are their inspiring stories!
With the healthcare industry in India growing at a rapid pace, and many new opportunities being thrown up, including in geriatrics and medical tourism, it’s no surprise that women in healthcare too are part of this boom.
These influential women in healthcare gave us an opportunity to listen to their stories – what drives them, how they are pushing the envelope on innovation, and what their struggles have been. Watch this video for a short and inspiring peek!
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.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
