“流感大流行期间Medyseva的旅程开始。我们realized that our friends and relatives living in rural areas did not have access to good doctors and were unaware or uncomfortable with mobile apps. That is when Medyseva was born. We thus started small by bringing on board our own friends and acquaintances who were doctors. We also took the support of the gram panchayat, which plays an integral part of village life and this also ensured faith in our brand and our services amongst the villagers," said Rachita Kasliwal, Co-Founder, Medyseva.

According to Medyseva, it is now preparing for the next round of funding, which can be as early as next year. The company states that it will be adding more services to their portfolio such as introducing mobile apps for service providers, bringing more medical equipment into the Kendras and putting a system in place whereby the doctors can enlist themselves to join hands with Medyseva and the cause.
