Vedant Srivastava
Few careers follow a predetermined path, and fewer still emerge from circumstances that initially seem unremarkable. Vedant Srivastava’s journey into healthcare and insurance began in 2001, immediately after completing his schooling, when a friend convinced him to attend a 100-hour training program to become an insurance advisor. The motivation was remarkably simple: free meals during training and the appeal of owning a visiting card at an age when such symbols mattered.

There are technologists who build systems. And then there are those rare few who pause long enough to ask: who are these systems actually built for? Prof (Dr) Mallikarjuna Rao Dubisetty, known professionally as Prof (Dr) Mallick, has spent 28 years doing both. Across landmark organizations including IBM, Kyndryl, Accenture, and Apollo Hospitals, he has designed and modernized some of the most complex healthcare technology ecosystems in the world. Yet it is not the scale of his work that defines him. It is the conviction running beneath it: that innovation only matters when it expands dignity, access, and measurable outcomes for patients, caregivers, and the workforce.
