Due to personal reasons, Ekikrit is on pause right now with a strong possibility of never launching. It is sad and heartbreaking for me as I gave it my heart, soul, and everything. It truly was the masterpiece of my carer in terms of the idea, architecture, design, and flow. We had done the demo to 100+ modern medicine and Ayurveda doctors and they all were ready and on board to work with us. I was particularly proud of how I defined various indexes to generate more appointments focused on revenue for the doctors and proactive healthcare for users AND how I had designed with the insurance industry experts the solution to provide evidence of preventive medicine's effect on users to claim the incentive-based payouts.
The story of HRV, ECG, wearables, journal entries, diet and lifestyle and therapy compliance tracking, and the custom algorithms designed by me and my respected dad to track the effectiveness of medicine when tracking chronic conditions and risk scores when tracking predispositions was very novel and innovative and it followed the principles used in the cybersecurity risk frameworks and observability platforms. The secret sauce was all in defining and tracking the numbers using statistical algorithms. The MVP was going to have only preview and the statistical equations for the preventive medicine were all ready to start getting developed.
If there is anyone who wants to take these forward, I am absolutely willing to discuss all of my ideas so that humanity can benefit from these and the doctors, integrative medicine, preventive medicine and users can all be successful without expecting anything in return. At this time, money is not important at all. I strongly believe that God gave me an amazing opportunity to get attracted to Ayurveda and Yoga and how that inspiration transformed in making integrative and preventive medicine help people live up to their full potential and take custody of doctor's entrepreneurial goals enabling them to perform their healing duties. It is God's plan and the effort with or without me must continue and see the light at the end of the day.
I am also thinking about learning all the involved technology and with time, as I gain more stability and better mental health comes in this new life, I will finish all the coding of Ekikrit and donate it to AYUSH ministry and WHO as I am humbled by and blessed with the people in those fields known to me.
I specifically want to wish LYBL, Ayurythm, Nadi Taringini and Bala Pasala and others involved in this field ( I got a call from another founder Ankur Rustogi lately) great luck as they are one of the best in terms of being able to realize the dream that I had seen.
The last few days of working for Ekikrit were somber and humbling but God was kind enough to finally give me the opportunity to do the last demo of the end to end solution in a 90 minutes demo to Esteemed Dr K. K. Deepak, the retired HOD of physiology from AIIMS Delhi and he was very impressed and endorsed the preventive ideas and algorithms very much. I will focus on cherishing the sweet memories of the team we built and the endorsements and attention we got. Not all dreams come true but you must thank the higher powers for giving you the opportunity to dare to see a dream and get the kind of attention we got.
I am excited to continue to work on bouncing back and returning to a new personal and professional life and about going back to my roots - get CISSP and CISM certification ( they have been long pending) , get more hands-on experience in coding and using cybersecurity and observability products as my future will be in those fields. I spend time these days on my mental health and learning hands-on spring-boot and GenAI. Learning is very therapeutic, humbling and gratifying.
I really want to thank everyone who supported, endorsed, and was willing to partner with Ekikrit. SOme of these names are:
Dr Madhusudan Chauhan, Dr Rohit Sane, Mr Ranjit Puranik, Dr Nachiket Kutecha, and Dr Amit Gumman, Dr Mandip Goyal, Dr Sagar Binde, Dr Anup Thakkar, Dr RObert Schnieder, Dr Sudheer Bagga, and Dr KK Deepak to name a few provided amazing love and support.
May God continue to give other entrepreneurs associated with Ayurveda., Yoga , integrative medicine and preventive medicine the opportunity, good luck, and blessings to take these amazing ideas forward.
