Welcome back to The SaaS CFO Podcast, everyone! Today's episode features a fascinating conversation with our special guest Ramesh Rajentheran, CEO and founder of Miya Health. With an impressive background that spans from practicing medicine to investment banking, Ramesh has navigated an extraordinary path leading to the inception of his company.

Ramesh shares how his platform not only connects patients to the right doctors at the right time but also strives to improve the efficiency of health insurers alike.

Despite starting his company just before COVID, Ramesh has secured nearly $10 million in fundraising and has set his sights on impacting the health insurance of 100 million people. Tune in to learn about Miya Health's journey, their challenges in the health tech industry, and the vision that drives their expansion and innovation.
