After completion my studies, I joined a company as a production engineer. All the work environment there was fine, but I was not satisfied from my inner side. I thought that I should do something from my own to serve the society and all. And luckily at that time I was met with our CEO, Mr. Parthapratim Dashmapatra. His mother was suffering from childhood anemia. The healthcare system was not so developed. That's why she was not diagnosed for a long time, and this anemia leads to lifelong diseases to her. So we set I have a startup called EasyRx.
People are coming to us and saying, yeah, this is a very good device. We don't want to do our blood test and all that, but because of you, we can go and check your hemoglobins easily. So they are very much happy, and seeing the smiling faces of the people is really inspiring for us, and we are happy with that only.
