Founded by Dr. Sumona Karjee Mishra to address what she perceived as a gap in healthcare, Prantae has gone from strength to strength. A Phd scholar from JNU, Sumona completed an EDP program at Judge Business School, Cambridge University and then enrolled for the Goldman Sachs NSRCEL 10K Women program.

“The NSRCEL 10K Women program came at a crucial juncture as I was mulling market entry for one of our flagship projects. I required an understanding of customer segmentation, market entry strategy, product market fit and financial calculations. I received all this and more which made my journey from product development to market very smooth. The mentoring at NSRCEL has been particularly useful to me for regulatory and market penetration,” explains Dr Karjee Mishra.
