“ We definitely have an early mover advantage and have been able to evolve the business on our capabilities of assuring high quality, reliable, fast diagnostic services” and stress involved are way too high. By 2013, I had a clear vision to focus on a patient-centric activity to fill a major gap in healthcare activities in our country. The first contact point of the disease and wellness industry is diagnosis and this became our patient- centric area of focus. Currently, this business is driven by doctors and is commission-based (50-60 per cent). This cost burden is very conveniently shifted onto patients. A breakthrough was required and hence, Healthians came into being in 2014. We directly go to the patients saving them up to 50% compared Deepak Sahni, Founder and CEO, Healthians.com to the traditional route. Also, we have kick-started the informed wellness market in India where we not only cater to people who are unwell but also to young people whom we inspire and educate to measure their health with accurate diagnostics and support them in altering their lifestyles. www.BioVoiceNews.com 29
