Swathi Kulkarni, Sindhuri Ananth, and Shubham Sharma founded the company with the purpose of improving healthcare access.Swathi is an ISB alumnus with over 17 years of experience working for companies like Nua, Komli, and Amazon, among others. Sindhuri has over 10 years of experience and has worked with KPMG and Intel. After graduating from BITS Pilani, Shubham worked at Goldman Sachs and Walmart Labs.
Swathi’s father was a gynaecologist in the army, therefore discussions about feminine hygiene and healthcare were frequent at home. Sindhuri was raised in a home where her father was an Apollo employee. Shubham, on the other hand, is a BITS Pilani alumnus with a strong interest in medicine. They then created a coalition in order to have a positive impact on the rest of the globe.
She went on to say that, while there was a broad focus on health, they wanted to go further into women’s health. Swathi claims that they studied feminine hygiene from the beginning of a woman’s menstrual cycle through menopause.
Elda Health was formed with the goal of giving women over the age of 35 with equitable access to healthcare at all phases of awareness, prevention, diagnosis, and cure. Elda’s inspiration stems from the reality that for far too long, women’s health and unique healthcare requirements have been stigmatised. Despite significant progress in normalising talks about adolescence, menstruation, and pregnancy, the firm forecasts that menopause will still be a taboo topic in 2021.

We’re ecstatic to be assisting Elda in their efforts to meet a long-unmet need while also establishing a brand in the developing femtech industry.

Elda’s health-tech platform will surely make waves in this emerging industry, which is worth $600 billion globally.

Women’s health has been ignored for many years. While adolescence and pregnancy are both celebrated and cared for, important periods in a woman’s life, such as menopause (which can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years), are completely ignored. The three founders aim to change that with Elda. Elda’s network of women aged 35 and up offers a safe space for them to discuss their health, obtain advice, and engage in personalised health programmes.
The trio decided to concentrate on restoring normalcy to the situation. Elda offers a dynamic dashboard that allows users to track anything from symptoms to activities, as well as a complete reporting system that lets them track their progress toward their health goals.
