Pune (Maharashtra), [India], May 10 , 2024: Ms Neelam Choudhary witnessed a medical emergency from close quarters. She saw her friend struggle to find the right doctor and pursue the suitable course of treatment for a relative, suffering from cancer.
Another time, Neelam noticed how a mother ignored her child’s discomfort for over 6 months until she procured the appointment of a suitable doctor.
Considering her first-hand experience in medical distress, she realised the lack of a tech platform that could streamline the process of accessing medical services.
Neelam recognised this gap in communication and sought to alleviate the time-consuming process of getting appointments by launching her med-tech platform— Lyfsum.com.
Bridging the Gap in Healthcare Access
In September 2022, Neelam Choudhary, a serial entrepreneur with experience in logistics and consulting, established a healthcare tech startup— Lyfsum Private Limited.
Utilising her education in Pharmacy, she aims to revolutionise “Access to medical services” in India and beyond with the help of advanced technology.
