Alumni Q&A

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
The three founders—Aman, Kaishu, and Nikhil—met as students at IIT Roorkee and began Farmako as a college side project. The idea came after Aman's doctor changed a painkiller prescription upon learning of his prior back history, prompting the founders to consider a system where Indians' medical records are stored in one place linked to a unified Health ID.

Summarized from the founders' answers on their Y Combinator profile.
