Practo For more than 18 years, it has been our absolute honor at Practo to deliver better health outcomes to millions. Over nearly two decades, we have focused on a singular mission: building, bettering, and innovating only for the best when it comes to people’s health.
This milestone isn’t just a corporate anniversary. It is a celebration of the unwavering trust placed in us every day. While our teams routinely analyze numbers, charts, and growth statistics, what we truly see behind those metrics is the real impact: empowering doctors and patients to make informed health decisions.
To mark our transition into legal “adulthood” as a company, we gathered for an unforgettable 18th Foundation Day celebration. It was an evening of reflection, nostalgia, and a thrilling look at the future of healthcare. Here is a recap of how we celebrated 18 years of impact and where we are headed next.
The Road Ahead: Becoming the G.O.A.T.
Our founder and CEO, Shashank ND, took the stage to reveal the defining theme for our upcoming year: GOAT – to become the Greatest of All Time.
Following this vision, Jagnoor Singh (Chief Operating Officer) provided a comprehensive review of our recent financial performance, celebrating the key milestones of the past fiscal year while outlining the strategic roadmap that will anchor our global focus in the coming months.
The Nostalgia Wave: Honoring Our Roots
One of the most heartwarming segments of the evening brought our history full circle with our ex-Practeons-turned-founders – Varun Dubey, Tarun Bhambra and Vikas Kumar joined Siddhartha Nihalani on stage to share priceless stories, insights and learnings when building their own versions of healthcare.
Their reflections from the early days served as a powerful reminder of the endless curiosity, foundational grit, passion, and culture that still drive Practo today.
Shaping the Future: Healthcare Meets AI-powered Tech
We also got an exclusive look at the groundbreaking products and AI-driven systems currently being shaped behind the scenes. A massive thank you to Sarang, Cijo, and Anant for bringing these innovations to life and sharing their vision:
- ATRP (AI That Runs Practo): The intelligent backbone optimizing our ecosystem.
- Elvin & Practo Hub: Transforming how healthcare insights and operations connect. (By the way, have you subscribed to Practo Hub yet?)
- Self-Serve for Providers: A world-first innovation empowering healthcare professionals to seamlessly manage their ecosystems independently.
Spotlighting Excellence and Unwavering Loyalty
A company is only as strong as its people, and this year’s Rewards & Recognition (R&R) Spotlight celebrated the relentless driving forces behind our progress.
This Foundation Day was exceptionally special, featuring our longest list of Long Service Award recipients to date. A momentous shoutout went to Durai Rajan V, our very first 15-year service award recipient! To Durai and every single long-service awardee: thank you for your unwavering dedication and for making Practo your home.
Unwinding and Looking Forward
Of course, no Practo celebration is complete without some fun. Our multi-talented peers absolutely owned the stage with brilliant performances, bringing incredible energy, music, and laughter to the room.
Seeing the venue packed with so much talent, passion, and shared purpose gives us ultimate confidence for what lies ahead. We have legally entered adulthood as an organization, and we are ready to take on the world.
With miles to go and millions to serve – let’s make this a GOAT year possible!
