Observations to Achieving a
Breakthrough
Arun Agarwal, Founder of Janitri Innovations,
is native to a small town in India. Since his
childhood he witnessed many of his family
members and neighbors suffer from health
problem like diabetes, malaria, jaundice,
pneumonia and many more. During his
undergraduate study, he realized that technology
can solve most of the healthcare related
problems and that motivated him to pursue a
post-graduation in biomedical engineering. After
completing his PG, he started visiting villages in
India to explore health related problems. While
talking to community, pregnant women, mothers,
midwives and doctors, Arun was able to connect
the dots with his childhood memories. He
realized that maternal & child health is a huge
problem in India and many deaths can be
prevented by simple affordable innovations.
Further, Arun visited 100+ healthcare settings
across India to explore problems related to
maternal & child healthcare and decided to
work on the problems through Janitri
