Please provide a brief overview of your product/ service.

Save Your Health is India’s leading healthcare company that provides healthcare services like home, sexual, private, nursing, primary, mental, urgent, child, elder, men, women etc. in the comfort of your home. That’s why clients, families, physicians, and hospitals across the city recommend Save Your Health first for exceptional home health care. This platform also provides software solutions for the healthcare environment enabling health professionals to efficiently manage their patients and peoples to find, review and book appointments with doctors in a specialty, allows patients to email their doctor directly with questions and even treatment updates. We provide specialist doctors, skilled nurses, and physiotherapists for home visits who have passed our rigorous hiring standards and have had their backgrounds and medical knowledge verified by senior doctors. We facilitate lab tests at home and medical equipment rentals, making health care more accessible for our patients. As the Medicare program describes, home health care is unique as a care setting not only because the care is provided in the home, but the care itself is “usually less expensive, more convenient, and just as effective” as care given in a hospital or skilled nursing facility. As a result of using our services, our patients are able to stay in their homes longer, save money, and have peace of mind.

What inspired you to build the above product/ service?

I belong to a small family. I was always facing problems related to health-care. I lived for more than 6 years without my family. When I was living alone I was suffering from fever, I required some medical help, at that time but I didn’t get it and I was feeling frustrated. So I wanted to solve these problems. My mother & grandmother always face these types of issues, so I think these emotional things, how we can handle. So decided to make an application, which solves these types of issues at home.      

What is your life mantra?

Live as if you were to die tomorrow and learn as if you were to live forever.

What was the most challenging part of your journey till now?

Starting from my venture, we are facing big problems like collect trained nurses, compounders, doctors, tutors, yoga instructors, etc and I belong to small family so every-time I am facing financial problem.

How did you overcome those challenges?

I was trying building my core team; no one took it serious. They laugh on me. But, I don’t hesitate, and was working hard. So I decided that believe on yourself and do hard work with dedication is the only mantra for success. Never ever give up your dream. If you believe in something you do it.
