Early on in creating Navya- Gitika and I met with the CEO of a private hospital in Mumbai exploring interest in Navya’s expert opinion services. He dismissed us offhand- saying he could email his friends ‘tak, tak, tak’ (Indian/Desi colloquialism for ‘instantly’) and get a response from them on any questions he had. Funnily enough – he was a radiologist who didn’t see the power of asynchronous and instantaneous collaboration on medical information. Today teleradiology is one of the largest medical services online.

A few years later, I’m impressed with how many ‘tak, tak, tak’ connections Navya has created for our patients across the world. We had 20 requests for consultations today, and we were able to get instantaneous reviews of many of the cases by international experts.  Where one expert’s response wasn’t confident enough, we got two or three to confirm! Back to the patient in a day!

A well-connected CEO of a hospital may get his medical questions answered by specialists in a jiffy, but the true value of Navya on democratizing expert information across the world, instantaneously, is beautiful. It’s truly as easy as ‘tak, tak, tak’.
