Ritesh Malik is a medical doctor turned entrepreneur and angel investor, who is extremely passionate about building products which create impact at scale leveraging technology.

Coming from a family of doctors, he was forced into doing medicine, and post that he started working at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi, which he didn’t like for one bit, because, back of his mind, he always wanted to do something much more impactful.

In the year 2012, he decided to quit his medical professional and took the entrepreneurial plunge, where he ventured into setting up augmented reality startup AdStuck, which developed an app called Alive in JV with the Times Of India Group, however, he exited from the company after it got acquired by Bennett, Coleman and Company Limited, commonly known as The Times Group in 2013. Then in 2016 he founded Innov8 Working.
