About Me

I’m Aviral Prakash, a healthcare business growth partner with 15 years of experience building high-performing operating systems, product narratives, and growth engines for organisations large and small. An alumnus of SRCC and IIM Ahmedabad, my career has been defined by a commitment to robust and foundationally strong strategy across sectors.

As a growth partner, I turn ambiguity into structure: moving organisations to strong processes, operational rigour, disciplined execution and systems that scale.

The Indian healthcare provider market is large and deeply underserved on management expertise. Save a handful of large, well-capitalised systems, the vast majority of providers — the hospitals, clinic networks, and specialty practices that deliver care across the length and breadth of the country — operate without access to strong strategic support. They make do with what is available: internal teams that may lack formal management training, family and network advice, consulting packaged into EMR software deals, or no structured thinking at all.

The business problems are real and growing. The quality of management expertise available to address them has not kept pace. That gap is where I work.

I focus exclusively on the Healthcare and HealthTech sectors and seek to make a difference to patients’ lives by helping businesses run better. Through select consulting mandates I help organizations doing good work in the field of human health do the work more efficiently and profitably. I don’t just design plans; I install the operating systems that go the distance.

What I do differently starts on the ground. Consulting services are sometimes delivered remotely — but before any recommendation is made from my end, I spend days inside the hospital or office building: watching what is breaking, talking to patients, providers and staff, building the ground-level read.

From that foundation, I work across the full commercial stack — business strategy, go-to-market design, revenue systems, operational excellence, and more. Every mandate is delivered directly, and I stay engaged beyond the brief — noticing and fixing the actual blocker, even when it sits outside the original scope. Every deliverable is designed to transfer, so the result for the client is a working system they can operate, improve, and compound on.

If this is the kind of support your organisation is looking for, get in touch.

For 15 years, I built growth engines, product narratives, and operating systems across tier-1 corporate sectors—energy, telecom, and automotive. I was obsessed with system design and optimising business performance. Then, a running injury turned my life upside-down.

Month after gruelling month, I experienced the systemic failure of healthcare firsthand. I was misdiagnosed with a permanent condition, subjected to ineffective treatments, unheard, and casually told by clinical staff that I would ‘never recover.’ Enveloped by fear, I became withdrawn and stopped engaging with life, trapped in anxiety over a disability that didn’t actually exist. I suffered through what I call ‘Double Pain’—the physical toll of the injury, compounded by the mental anguish of a careless system.

It took immense courage to seek a second opinion. When I finally met a true specialist, everything changed. In a single session, they listened deeply, identified the actual root cause and prescribed simple corrective action. Within weeks, the pain was gone, and my life was restored.

That experience exposed the two extremes of healthcare in India: the devastating cost of provider stress, careless diagnosis and indifferent systems, versus the life-changing power of clinical precision combined with genuine empathy.

As a business strategist, I realised that the clinical brilliance that healed me wasn’t happening in a vacuum. The specialist was able to heal because they were supported by a system that worked. Their practice was structured to protect their time, streamline information, and eliminate administrative drag — freeing their cognitive energy for deep listening and clinical accuracy rather than letting operational chaos drain them.

That was my turning point. I had found my “good work”. I realised that the most critical systems we can build in this world are the ones that protect human health and empower those who care for them.

Today, I bring my expertise exclusively to Healthcare and HealthTech. I help leaders build the robust management systems, workflows, and growth engines that remove operational friction and liberate providers to do what they do best — heal. Because no patient should suffer through ‘double pain’, and no healer should be held back by a broken system.
