A journey of vision, partnership, and innovation in healthcare supply management.
Our journey began not in a boardroom, but on a golf course — where two professionals from vastly different worlds discovered a shared vision.
Process Optimization Expert
Shivkumar Salgotra, a seasoned expert with over a decade of experience in process optimization and supply chain management, spent years helping organizations run more efficiently.
While working for a healthcare company, Shivkumar noticed a critical issue—inefficiencies and a lack of visibility in how clinics managed their medical supplies. This observation sparked the idea for a smarter, more streamlined inventory solution tailored specifically for healthcare practices.
Fate introduced Shivkumar to Dr. Giri Dandamudi, a physician and entrepreneur, during a casual round of golf. Their conversation quickly turned from swing techniques to supply chain woes.
Dr. Giri, having experienced similar challenges in his own practice, immediately recognized the value of Shivkumar's idea.
Physician & Entrepreneur
What started as a shared frustration soon evolved into a shared mission: to develop an intuitive, reliable, and scalable software platform that could revolutionize inventory management for clinics, hospitals, and healthcare startups.
Combining Shivkumar's operational expertise with Dr. Giri's clinical insight and years of experience, they co-founded HEALTHSHADE dedicated to empowering healthcare providers with the tools they need to automate their clinic inefficiencies.
Our ultimate goal is enhancing patient care by ensuring healthcare providers have the right supplies at the right time, allowing them to focus on what matters most—their patients.
