I trained at Government Medical College, Calicut. In those wards I learned the rule that still governs how I work: protocol saves lives. For years I practised the traditional way, one patient at a time, and slowly came to see the limit of it. I was a technician. The care did not scale past the person in front of me.

So I built the system instead. Dofody began in 2019 as a telemedicine startup for Kerala and is now a digital health business run from Kozhikode. I designed the clinical workflow, chose and then rebuilt the EMR, wrote the prescribing rules into it, fought the payment gateways, and learned Indian health regulation the expensive way — by getting it wrong first.

Nine years later I still run it, and I am still a serving doctor. That combination is the whole reason this site exists. Founders building in Indian health-tech keep hitting walls I have already hit. Investors keep evaluating clinical workflows they cannot read. I can help with both, because I am not describing this from the outside.

I do not believe in hustle culture. I believe in architectural discipline, and in building a company that does not require its founder to burn out to survive.
