Nayan Kalnad And Avegen Health
After many years spent as a medical doctor, Dr Nayan Kalnad was working to improve ongoing care delivery to HIV-positive patients in India. Wanting to do more to help these patients, he realised that the right digital technologies could transform the quality of treatment that they – and others with long term health conditions – were receiving. After four years leading a digital innovation team at Janssen, Nayan had the light bulb moment.
In 2015, he teamed up with Neeraj Apte – a software engineer with over 20 years experience – to create Avegen and build their flagship HealthMachine™ product development platform. Together, they set about working with some of the biggest names in healthcare and pharmaceuticals to create ground-breaking digital health products.
Today, the products they’ve created with their clients are used by over 1 million people across 14 countries worldwide. These products include products to reduce maternal mortality, improve mental health, reduce recurrence of myocardial infarction, treat paranoia and improve treatment outcomes for individuals with Long Term Conditions like Tuberculosis, HIV, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
1 in 4 patients are living with long term conditions. And the cost of caring for these patients is increasing. Avegen plays an invaluable role in supporting international companies and institutions to deliver exceptional digital care to transform the patient experience.
Nayan, along with Neeraj and their team, bootstrapped the business from day one – building it into a 60-strong team which now stretches across multiple continents without any VC capital. This has allowed them to iterate their model and build the strong foundations needed for long-term growth.
