" In the near future, when i visit the cancer hospital, I want to see a picture of patient's head full of hairs and smile on their face" Raghuveer Surupa - an entrepreneur, a visionary and an empath. He started his entrepreneurship journey at a young age while he was still a product manager at a leading pharmaceutical company. Working with oncology patients day in and day out drove him to build a startup that would improvie their treatment experience. Raghuveer went on to found Stemtech Medical Devices which has designed and developed India’s first scalp cooling system. This device reduces hair loss caused by chemotherapy, significantly improving patients experience as well as emotional well being during treatment.In a country like India, where early stage investing is yet to grow, starting a hardware company, that too in a heavily regulated medical device space presented several obstacles. Raghuveer navigated several professional as well as personal challenges in his start up journey. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
