Inception of Practo
The idea came across when Shashank’s father needed a knee surgery and they finalized a specialist in the US. The Doctor wanted to check all the medical records of the patient before giving any of his opinions. But there was no easy and secure way to get all the reports and prescription across and then send to Doctor in the US.
This Incident triggered the idea of Practo. Shashank discussed it with Abhinav who isa computer expert and both worked on the idea.
Shashank also believes that there should be a common platform where patients can write a review of doctor which can be helpful for other patients. Practo made feedback system and attempts to collect the most helpful and reliable feedback from patients.
