Piyush Vishwakarma

Time to stan Piyush Vishwakarma, this dude is the real deal in healthtech. He’s a YC alum from the S20 batch, so he’s been in the startup game for a minute now. The guy’s been crushing it with some serious vision.

He kicked things off with Jeevam Health, which he co-founded and was CEO of. That was back in 2020, right when everyone was trying to figure out how to do health differently. Jeevam wasn’t just another app; it was a full-on digital health startup focused on whole care for folks with chronic stuff like thyroid issues and autoimmune diseases. Think about it, most healthcare just treats symptoms, right? But Piyush and his team wanted to get to the root causes using fancy stuff like nutritional biochemistry, advanced diagnostics, and digital tools. They’re basically trying to change how primary healthcare works in India, making it smarter and more personalized.

Getting into YC was a huge win, they raised Rs 1.8 crore from Y Combinator and other investors, which is no joke. That’s proof he’s got what it takes to build something legit, something that can actually make a difference. The fact that Jeevam was part of YC’s Summer 2020 batch shows he’s been recognized at the highest level, not just some fly-by-night startup, but a company with real possible.

But here’s the thing, Piyush didn’t stop there. After Jeevam, he moved on to TATA 1mg, where he’s been heading up B2B products. So he’s now focused on corporate health, wellness, insurance stuff, and helping pharma companies support their patients better. It’s like he’s always been about making healthcare smarter, more accessible, and more works well, just at different levels.

What does all this say about him? Dude’s obviously super driven. He’s not just building a startup for the hell of it; he’s got a real passion for transforming healthcare, making it more rooted in science and technology. That means he’s motivated by more than just making money, he wants to solve real problems, help people live healthier lives, and push the industry forward.

And honestly, he’s the kind of founder you wanna keep an eye on. He’s got the hustle, the vision, and the grit to keep pushing boundaries. Whether it’s building a healthtech startup from scratch or heading up product teams at a giant like TATA, he’s all about having an effect. No bullshit, just someone who truly believes in changing the game.

So yeah, Piyush Vishwakarma, he’s that guy who jumped into healthtech, crushed it at YC, and keeps pushing for smarter, better healthcare. The kind of person you root for because he’s in it for the right reasons, and he’s got the skills to make it happen.
