HealAI Selected for CampusFounders Program at IIMB

Center For Entrepreneurship, RUAS proud to announce that HealAI (GVA Health Tech Pvt Ltd), a student‑led, multidisciplinary venture, has been selected for the latest cohort of the Campus Founders Program at NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore! After excelling through multiple competitive rounds, HealAI now stands among India’s top student startups to be incubated under this prestigious initiative.

HealAI was co-founded by Aditya B. V. (Ramaiah Medical College), Gaurav Kumar (MSRIT), and Vishal Shetty (MSRIT), with the mission of simplifying wound management for diabetic foot ulcers through artificial intelligence. Inspired by Aditya’s clinical immersion and patient interviews at RMC, the team identified the pressing need for reliable monitoring of ulcer progression. Leveraging their combined expertise, Gaurav and Vishal have developed a mobile application powered by proprietary machine‑learning algorithms trained on hundreds of ulcer images, enabling both clinicians and patients to assess and track wound healing, thereby reducing the risk of severe complications such as amputation.

Their achievements to date include:

• Finalist in NSRCEL’s Healthcare Incubation Program, competing alongside established, revenue‑generating enterprises
• Shortlisting for the MEITY Seed Grant at C‑CAMP
• Advancement to the bootcamp and pre-finals of NBEC 2025, India’s largest bio‑entrepreneurship competition

This remarkable journey began at the Center for Entrepreneurship (CFE) at RUAS anchored Hult Prize Campus Finale, where HealAI earned runner‑up honors. Throughout their development, CFE faculty have provided comprehensive support—from ideation workshops and pitch clinics to one‑on‑one feedback sessions and grant‑writing guidance. This is a testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration at RUAS and the strong mentorship at CFE, RUAS.

As public health entrepreneurship emerges as a critical catalyst for policy and practice, RUAS remains committed to fostering innovation that delivers tangible impact.
