Making medicines affordable & accessible for Rural India

They are on a mission to be the nearest, affordable and the most reliable healthcare destination for the rural citizens of India. Vishesh Kasliwal and Rachita Kasliwal, the founders of Medyseva, believe that having independent areas of strength at work and at home, is what makes a couple balance their professional and personal lives successfully. In conversation with Urban Melange, they talk about their story and their vision.

Tell us about MedySeva. Where did the idea come from?

Medyseva is a healthcare startup focusing on Telemedicine in Rural India. It seeks to become the ultimate healthcare partner of all citizens such that they can get access to high quality healthcare services with ease and at affordable prices. It bridges the gap between the urban doctors and rural patients through Medyseva Kendras having state-of-the-art technology, which cover the entire spectrum of services that are needed to keep one healthy – from having virtual consultations to getting surgeries, from booking diagnostic tests to digitizing medical records.

To ensure that every rural citizen of India has access to high quality doctors and medical services at their convenience and at affordable prices and to be the nearest, affordable and the most reliable healthcare destination for the rural citizens of India.

You both work together. How do you maintain the work-life balance?

This balance exists more in our minds that in reality. If you feel comfortable and at ease with your personal and professional lives, without much guilt, then you’re balancing well enough!

As a couple, we are always striving to get there. What works for us is that we have fairly independent areas of working as per our strengths and we try not to interfere much with other person’s department. However, at the same time, we still need to tilt the balance a bit. We have set some default cases where if there arises a situation that requires a choice between work and home, I will take care of work and Rachita will take care of home, no questions asked. This understanding helps us manage both seamlessly. Secondly, we try to make our weekends fun as far as possible! Even if we are required to work on Sundays, we make an outing of it, like have meetings in cafes instead of office! To some extent, it changes the mood and fixes the balance.
