Doctor Insta: The Beginning

Once Amit Munjal, the founder of Doctor Insta had a sprain on his ankle and had no one to help. So, he had to seek help from a telemedicine app based in the USA. He was quite impressed by the services of the application.

India’s population is massive and there is also poor availability of doctors. So, this telecommunication medical aid can help millions with just a few taps and the healthcare will be just one call away or be right there at one’s doorstep.
• Startup: Inaccessibility to Doctors Even many people are inaccessible to the best doctors due to monetary or distance issues but with this app, they can be helped as well. This social requirement and the new and unique business plan had inspired Amit Munjal to introduce Doctor Insta which was launched in 2015.
