A mechanical engineering graduate from IIT Kharagpur (B.Tech, 2010). The idea for Innovaccer emerged while working on a big data sharing project at Harvard and Wharton alongside co-founders Kanav Hasija and Sandeep Gupta. The trio launched the company in 2014, initially building an open-source data platform before pivoting exclusively to healthcare in 2016 — reportedly shutting down a non-health line of business that had already raised $20M. Under his leadership, Innovaccer has raised over $275M (one of the largest digital health fundraises of 2021), claims $1.5B in cumulative client cost savings, and has been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list (Enterprise Technology, 2017).
