We are always looking for talent that has the passion for technology and is willing to go in-depth to get to the root of the problem and identify the right tech that can solve it. He added.

Commenting on joining as Head of Engineering (SVP), Consumer Business, Practo, Amit Kumar Verma said, “Healthcare industry is going through major transformation and there has never been a time in past where so much collective effort has been put towards building healthcare products.”

“I believe that Practo with its tech-first approach and rich experience of diverse healthcare businesses is well poised to deliver affordable, accessible, and quality healthcare solutions, even to the remote parts of the country.  I have used technology to solve various kinds of problems but I believe that building products and solutions here probably is going to be extremely satisfying.” He added.
