I speak about what I live twice over: as an interventional cardiologist who still takes emergency calls, and as the founder of an AI company that has screened 35 million hearts across 16 countries. Every talk draws on both — real patients, real deployments, real failures.

Talks I give

The Golden Hour at Scale

Most heart-attack deaths are not treatment failures — they are timing failures. The average patient reaches care six hours after onset; survival is decided in the first sixty minutes. What it actually takes to compress that window across 12,500 clinics: the technology, the clinical workflow, and the parts that had nothing to do with AI. For medical, health-system, and global-health audiences.

What the Machine Sees — and What It Misses

An honest account of AI in cardiac diagnostics from someone who reads behind the algorithm daily: the patterns it catches that a tired human at 3 a.m. does not, the cases where it is confidently wrong, and why a cardiologist still signs every critical report. For AI, technology, and policy audiences who are tired of both hype and doom.

Built in India, for the World

Lessons from taking clinical AI from a Bangalore apartment to 16 countries: building for clinics with intermittent power before building for hospitals with CTOs, why distribution beats accuracy past a threshold, and what founders in healthcare get wrong about doctors (and doctors about founders). For startup, investor, and health-tech audiences.
