History
NanoHealth was founded in 2014 by a group of five alumni from the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad— Dr Ashish Bondia, Manish Ranjan, Ramanathan Lakshmanan, Aditi Vaish, and Pranav Kumar Maranganty. Its primary focus is the creation of a network of local community health workers called "Saathis". These workers, who are trained and certified by the company, use the "Doc-in-a-Bag", a low-cost diagnostic tool for chronic disease management. In 2014 the company was awarded the Hult Prize, the first ever Indian team to receive the award.
