When Deepak Sahni realised that the only way to fix India's Diagnostic Care Ecosystem was to go full-stack, he shut down a 30-city operation and rebuilt Healthians from a single city, with one goal: To make preventive care the default, not the afterthought.
In this episode of The Prognosis Podcast, our Founder & CEO Vivek Sinha goes deep with Deepak Sahni, Founder & CEO of Healthians, one of India's largest diagnostic networks.

Key themes explored:
→ The broken truth behind India's diagnostic market
→ Why chronic & preventive care — not sick care — is India's real diagnostic engine
→  How transparency is the game changer in diagnostic care
→ Solving the toughest part: logistics
→ The Brand Philosophy: "Adding 10 healthy years to every Indian's life"
→ The founder's journey: conviction, pivots & burnout

What started as a single-city pivot is now serving millions across India — and more importantly, it's shifting how we think about healthcare itself: from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.

This isn't just about diagnostic care. It's about reshaping the very idea of healthcare in India — from cure-focused to prevention-first, from mistrust to transparency.

A masterclass in consumer-first healthcare, operational innovation, and purpose-driven building.
