About

Building the last-mile layer of India’s national digital healthcare infrastructure in collaboration with the National Health Authority (NHA).

As a founding engineer at HRCI, I lead the development of compact, System-on-Chip (SoC) driven terminals that deliver full medical desktop environments—even in rural settings with unreliable power and connectivity.

Our systems reduce hardware costs by ~60% compared to traditional setups without compromising key performance metrics, enabling ABDM-compliant digital health systems and EMRs to reach clinics at the grassroots level.

Currently planning pilot deployments across Telangana and working toward clinical validation.
