We solving the problem of child healthcare in India by making Electronic Medial Records for every child in School. We are providing a medical facility where every child will get a medical check up all their records will be updated online through which parents can keep track of their child healthcare.

I used to go home in holidays from the hostel and there were only telephonic conversations with parents. After I came out of the hostel, my parents saw my sneezing problem and they immediately took me to a good doctor and doctor declared that I have a sinus problem. Because of my sinus problem, which persisted due to lack of medical attention, I was able to conceptualize the idea of Mecura.

I trusted myself that if I kept my head up and my heart open, good things will come into my life. And I’m glad I listened to myself.

We had to deal with extreme challenges from the first day Mecura was founded. As I’m in still in college, time is the real challenge. I am just 20 years old and every time I pitch in front of people, I get negative feedback. Other than that, we are doing great.

My father taught me to never give up and I kept working day and night. I had to leave my college classes to attend a Start-Up meet for networking. Due to an excellent team, parent’s support and business model, we got many opportunities from investors. We were the among top five startups selected in IIT Bombay JS Innovation Lab and were among 40 start-ups to get selected in Bioasia convention.

We have just got an opportunity from IIT Bombay as Incubation from JS Innovation Lab.

We are doing something different with best support from the doctors and hospitals. Our marketing head is a doctor himself as he stand as backbone of our start Up.
