1. Tell us about your upbringing, background and journey?

I have always been a shy and introvert kid. Struggled real hard to initiate conversation and mingle with people. My dad is a businessman and mom is a housewife and a sister.

Was good in studies and used to play sports, but was always reserved until my final year of MBBS when I decided to finally step out of my comfort zone and I chose social media as the platform. 

Finally started making videos and started to act, sing and dance and was slowly getting out of my comfort zone and reaching out to people and here I am now taking my profession and passion hand in hand. 


2. Why did you choose to be a doctor and decide what you specifically want to do?

I always wanted to be a doctor my whole life, always wanted to serve people and my country. Planning to take up surgery in my post-graduation.


3. We salute your work during the pandemic, where did you get the inspiration to work so hard?

For me, my inspiration comes from all those people who, in spite of not having the necessary equipment, gadgets and knowledge still thrive hard and get their talent out.. so if they are able to do it then why not me. 


4. How do you expect digital health to grow over the next 5 years?

Making digital health care accessible to all the rural areas and making them aware of all the common diseases and their immediate management until they reach a proper medical support. 


5. What are your concerns about Digital Health?

Probably the most important issue is the unprecedented information about users that is captured by digital health and the competing needs for cyber security and privacy, risks that amplify geometrically with the increasing capabilities for monitoring and surveillance. 


6. Can you let us know any one application of Digital Health in your country which has impressed you?

Out of the many, one is Telecare. 


7. What is your message for aspiring doctors and the young generation? Which is the best medical college according to you?

Focus more on practical aspects and immediate management of a patient. Accordingly be kind and listen to your patient. Do not panic at situations, always be bold and you got this. 

There isn't anything like best Medical college, you just need to have the passion to study medicine and eventually the college u study from turns out to be the best


8. What does your typical day look like and what do you like to do besides work?

I wake up at 6am, do a bit of gym/ exercise, breakfast, interact with my family and off to work... during my free hours I upload videos regarding health care on social media, get back home around 6pm and off to gym, then read books, watch a movie, talk to friends and off to bed around 11pm. 

Besides work, I record health care videos and record songs.
