Veera Health
We treat women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in India
About
Veera Health is helping 110M women in India get treated for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Our app combines evidence-backed therapy with coaching & specialist support for a subscription fee.
PCOS is the most common cause of infertility in women, and can lead to diabetes, depression and cancer. Patients spend up to 10 years and thousands of rupees searching for the right treatment, yet 90% are dissatisfied with existing options. With our program, 85% patients report feeling "in control" of their PCOS after just 1 month and are 4-times more likely to complete treatment.
The founders, Shobhita (COO) and Shashwata (CEO) got an inside view into this massive need when the former was diagnosed with PCOS. Shashwata studied data science at Yale University, holds an MBA from Wharton, and helped grow Fortune 100 and growth-stage consumer health / product companies at McKinsey. Shobhita studied Biology & Psychology at Tufts University and has worked with leading healthcare companies, such as GlaxoSmithKline, Accenture Life Sciences & UnitedHealth.
