He was inspired to develop the company’s business model after observing overcrowding in neonatal intensive care units in India. He helped develop the company’s first product, the Skylife device for phototherapy jaundice treatment for newborns. The device can be used in hospitals and at home. According to information on the company’s website, the next product in development will address infant hypothermia.
