Clinical excellence and systems thinking aren't substitutes for each other. I build for both.

FOUNDER, PAYLOAD
Payload, a nuclear medicine dispatch

Payload →

Nuclear medicine was never meant to be memorised. It was meant to be decoded. Payload is a cinematic-science framework for teaching the field, built on visual cognition, physics-grounded metaphor, and narrative sequencing that mirrors how the field actually works.

Trainees memorise half-lives. Clinicians inherit black boxes. Payload teaches it cinematically instead, and makes a hard subject genuinely fun to learn. Presented at SNMMI 2026.

WHAT I'VE BUILT
EVENT
TEDxOMCH stage

TEDxOsmania Medical College

Founded and ran two editions from nothing. Led a 27-person team, curated speakers, secured sponsorship, 100+ attendees each time. Built the room a talk happens in. Looking for the stage next.

PROGRAM
IIM Ahmedabad MPM-Cx certificate

IIM Ahmedabad

Formal training in healthcare strategy, innovation, and leadership. I wanted the clinical depth and the systems view, not one at the cost of the other.

RESEARCH
AI ×
NUCLEAR
MEDICINE

Where AI fits in

I research and publish at the intersection of AI and nuclear medicine, most recently on large language models, accepted at EANM 2026.

WHAT I'M OPEN TO
Leadership & Education

For health and adjacent organisations that need someone to spearhead nuclear medicine education and lead research and international collaboration. Payload is this instinct already at work.
Research & Collaboration

Research partnerships, international organisations, and teams building in nuclear medicine AI, imaging, and products in that space.
Speaking

Nuclear medicine, leadership in healthcare, AI in imaging, and the thinking behind Payload.

If you don't see your reason here, that's not a disqualifier. It's probably just a conversation I haven't had yet.

MY STORY

I came to medicine through curiosity, not convention.

Biology showed me the body's intelligence. Physics showed me the forces underneath it. Technology showed me how far both could be pushed. Nuclear medicine is the one field where all three collide, where you don't just diagnose disease, you track it, watch it respond, watch it surrender in real time.

Most of medicine still doesn't fully understand this specialty. That gap is why Payload exists: I wanted the science that's actually saving lives to be legible to anyone curious enough to ask, not just the people already inside the room.

The future of this field won't be built in silos. It gets built when clinicians, researchers, technologists, and policy people collide. That's the work I'm looking for now.
