Building companies in regulated industries. Hosting conversations with founders, operators, and domain owners who are building without shortcuts — across healthcare, infrastructure, capital, and systems that actually matter.
From Mechanical Engineering to regulated pharmaceutical distribution — building in one of the hardest industries in entrepreneurship.
Establishing UK pharmaceutical distribution operations under MHRA and EU-GMP compliance. Building supplier networks across Europe. Navigating regulatory complexity in parallel import and generic medicine distribution. MHRA licensing in process. Operating across UK, Germany, Poland, Romania, Colombia, UAE.
Made the uncommon decision to enter regulated pharmaceutical distribution. No background in pharma. No healthcare network. No funding. Just deep research, cold outreach, and operator discipline. Began studying MHRA/EU-GMP frameworks, parallel import regulations, and cross-border pharmaceutical supply chains.
Worked at Swiggy during early growth phase. Learned how high-growth startups scale operations. Saw hypergrowth from the inside. Realized the path wasn't mine. Left to build in regulated industries.
Studied Mechanical Engineering. Learned systems thinking and analytical frameworks. Realized interest in building businesses rather than machines. Developed technical discipline that would later apply to regulated industries.
Born and raised in India. Educated in Vadodara and Porbandar. Early education at St. Mary's School, Don Bosco High School, and Zenith High School. The foundation that made everything else possible.
Long-form conversations with founders, operators, and domain experts building real companies — often in regulated, capital-intensive, or unglamorous industries.
This is not advice. This is not motivation. This is documentation.
Starting a regulated healthcare company is not glamorous. This is a chronicle of what actually happens — the failures, the bureaucracy, the breakthroughs that feel small but matter. Why I started this podcast, who it's for, and what to expect.

Long-form thinking on building companies, navigating regulated industries, and the reality of entrepreneurship outside Silicon Valley.
Most founders choose software because it's fast, scalable, and cheap to test. I chose pharmaceutical distribution — an industry where regulatory approval takes months, where mistakes can shut you down, and where the barriers to entry are deliberately high.
