Shashank, who co-founded Practo, highlighted the company's growth over the past 18 years and its upcoming phase requiring strengthened execution and investment in future healthcare ideas. Jagnoor, previously acting as COO, joined Practo in January 2025 and has played a key role in driving the company's growth strategy and expansion into new markets.
