On Cover
Dr. Priyadarshini Roy
Pharmaceutical Leader | Clinician | Consultant | Coach | Mentor Author, Poet & Literary Critic
There are professionals who build expertise, and there are those who build bridges. Dr. Priyadarshini Roy has spent more than twenty-five years doing both, and the result is a career that defies the neat categorisation that institutions and industry typically prefer. She is a clinician who has worked in government hospitals, public sector undertakings, and corporate healthcare. She is a pharmaceutical leader who has held senior roles at Novartis and Dr. Reddy’s. She is a scientific communications expert who translates complex clinical data into meaningful insights for decision-making.
Prof (Dr) Mallikarjuna Rao Dubisetty
Vice President, Strategy and Execution, HelixBeat & Founder, Smiles Foundation
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.
