What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead clinical product or medical affairs strategy, applying AI-driven healthcare solutions to improve patient outcomes and scale telemedicine within mission-driven organizations.

I am a Doctor-MBA with 12+ years of global experience at the intersection of clinical medicine, AI-driven healthcare innovation, and commercial strategy, having worked across India, the UK, and global markets. I have built AI-enabled healthcare products, accelerated pharma workflows, scaled telemedicine operations, and driven enterprise partnerships that improved quality, growth, and patient outcomes.

My accomplishments include leading medical affairs and telemedicine quality initiatives, designing GenAI solutions for pharma medical-legal review, optimising clinical trial protocols to improve enrolment and reduce screen failures, and architecting national-scale health transformation blueprints. I combine clinical credibility, product leadership, and commercial acumen to deliver measurable impact in patient outcomes and business metrics.
