Today, we’re excited to speak with Arvind Rajan, Co-founder and CEO/Executive Chairman of Cricket Health. 

Arvind led Cricket Health which is a technology-enabled specialty care provider for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In August 2022, Cricket Health merged with Interwell and Fresenius Health Partners to form the new Interwell Health, a leader in value-based kidney care.

Before co-founding Cricket Health, Arvind served as Managing Director and Vice President of New Markets at LinkedIn, where he was responsible for the company’s growth and operations in Asia Pacific and Japan.

Arvind has spent most of his career building companies across a wide range of industries. Although the industries have been different, every one of these companies was trying to create transformative change that would have a positive impact on the world.

In this insightful discussion, Arvind opens up about his career path, the challenges and successes in building Cricket Health from scratch, practical advice for fundraising, and valuable insights for aspiring startup founders such as strategies and tips for conducting productive board meetings.
