Imagine you're visiting a rural part of India and you get fever. The only way to see a doctor is to travel to the nearest hospital on foot, boat and bus - a one-day journey. Sounds terrifying? Well, now imagine you could walk into a telemedicine facility minutes away, and get advice from a world class doctor - as simply as walking into Starbucks to pick up a coffee. Sounds amazing right? That is what I aim to build.

After having launched BlackBerry devices such as Q10, Bold, Curve into the North American market, I am now ready to take the leap to switch over to healthcare sector. I have worked with telemedicine organizations as a volunteer consultant over the past few years and now I’m looking to build my skills and network that will support me in establishing my own firm.

I look forward to meeting interesting new people who can help me have a diverse perspective on life. I love to explore unchartered territories - my favourite finds so far have been the hiking trail in the Himalayan foothills and the cutest little cafe called Cafe Falco in Montreal.
