Oncologist invests in Startup – Any Time Doctor

Dr. Ramakant Deshpande, a surgical oncologist based in Mumbai has invested in Any Time Doctor. The startup ‘Any Time Doctor’ operates an app that helps to connect patients with doctors and pharmacies. The app provides face-to-face video consultation services for patients who don’t want to or can’t visit doctors physically.
The startup was founded by A. Vasanthakumar in 2017. This type of investment was a first for Dr. Deshpande, who is a Padma Shri awardee. According to him, there is a universal need for a medical opinion, however, the logistics to obtain it often remains a problem, particularly in small towns and villages, Digital consultation could help pull down this barrier, said Dr. Deshpande.
