I’m Aviral Prakash, a HealthTech growth partner with more than a decade of experience building high-performing growth engines, product narratives, and operating systems for technology organisations large and small. An alumnus of two of the world’s premier business schools, SRCC and IIM Ahmedabad, my career has been defined by a commitment to robust and foundationally strong growth strategy across sectors.
As a growth partner, I turn ambiguity into growth that holds: strategic clarity, strong processes, operational rigour, disciplined execution, and systems that scale — this is the difference between growth that compounds and growth that happens once and stalls.
I focus exclusively on the HealthTech sector, and seek to make a difference to patients’ lives by helping HealthTech businesses grow, and run well enough to sustain that growth. Through select consulting mandates I help ventures 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 growth systems that go the distance.
HealthTech founders often have real product and technical strength, but less lived experience in the operating discipline that turns a working product into a scaled business — and the startup-advisory ecosystem that could help is mostly generic, built for SaaS and consumer tech, with little real fluency in healthcare’s specific rules: regulatory approval timelines, trust dynamics with clinical stakeholders, referral and empanelment structures that don’t exist in other categories. So founders end up with generic growth advice instead of healthcare-specific advice.
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 time inside the business, with the founder’s team, their customers and the clinicians and patients who use the product.
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.

For more than a decade, 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 HealthTech. I help leaders build the robust management systems, workflows, and growth engines that remove operational friction — freeing clinicians to do what they do best, heal, and freeing founders to do what they do best, build. Because no patient should suffer through ‘double pain,’ and no one trying to do good work in healthcare should be held back by a system that can’t keep up with them.
