He didn’t come from healthcare. But he ended up challenging the very way it operates.

In 2017, when Sahil Pruthi
’s mother faced a near-fatal brain condition, the world stood still.

But instead of leaving things to chance, he made a decision most don’t — To understand what the system missed.

While his peers climbed career ladders, Sahil paused everything. For nine months, he immersed himself in nutrition science, cellular healing, and disease reversal.

Not as a doctor, but as a builder. A problem-solver.

The result? His mother’s full recovery — without dependency on endless pills.  That was the beginning of what the world now knows as Livofy (formerly Keto India).

Built on first principles, not pharma.  Focused on root-cause recovery, not symptom suppression.  And entirely bootstrapped — by design.

When he pitched on Shark Tank India, he got all four sharks onboard.  ₹1.6 crore for 16% — the highest deal offered at that time.

But Sahil didn’t take it. Why? Because belief > valuation. He knew where Livofy was headed.

Today:

→ Raised $550K independently
→ Accepted into Stanford Seed
→ Serving 25+ countries
→ Solving PCOS, obesity, and diabetes — not selling meal plans, but building protocols

Sahil didn’t invent a new product.  He rebuilt trust in a broken system.

What’s one founder story that made you rethink the way we approach “healthcare” in India?
