August 30, 2025 – A date etched in my life for more than one reason.
Exactly 11 years ago, I got engaged. And on that very same date this year, I received a life-changing opportunity: my first TEDx talk, hosted at GGI under the inspiring theme “Chase the Impossible.”
Standing on that red dot, I felt a mix of emotions — excitement, nervousness, and the quiet ache of loss, having lost my wife, whose memories remain deeply rooted in my heart.
In my talk, I shared a story born in the midst of COVID-19 — a time when Ms. Renu and I were both navigating personal grief in different ways. It was during this difficult phase that Mr. Chaitanya brought us together — blending Renu’s deep nutritional expertise with my technical background.
That collaboration gave birth to a vision:
A platform that could reduce the time it takes to create personalized diets, enabling dieticians to focus more on care, empathy, and connection — and patients to avoid long queues and delays.
What began in pain evolved into purpose. And that purpose now drives everything I build.
I invite you to watch this TEDx talk — it’s not just about technology or healthcare, but about how our deepest struggles can become our greatest strengths.
I’d love to hear your thoughts: What’s your impossible — and are you ready to chase it?
