CureBay, a health-tech platform focused on bringing affordable healthcare to underserved patients in rural India, has announced the appointment of Vasant Nangia as President effective April 3, 2023. In his new role, Nangia will forefront CureBay’s operations and spearhead its efforts to augment its reach and impact across the region.

With Nangia’s appointment, CureBay now aims to rapidly scale up from its current 30 e-clinics and pharmacies to building a world-class health-tech enterprise, by harnessing innovative technology and rapidly building seamless infrastructure across geographies.

An alumnus of IIM Calcutta, Vasant Nangia recently stepped down as the chief executive officer (CEO) of Chumbak Design, a home and lifestyle retailer acquired by GOAT Brand Labs earlier this year. 

“Vasant (Nangia) brings in years of experience not just in transformational leadership but also in execution excellence. His onboarding will help the entire leadership team at CureBay as we make strong strides toward redefining how affordable healthcare services will be made accessible to a billion people. I am eagerly looking forward to growing CureBay by leaps and bounds as we start this new financial year together,” said Priyadarshi, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of CureBay.

"I am delighted to collaborate once again with Priyadarshi and equally thrilled to be a part of CureBay. The platform's outstanding work in connecting patients from underserved markets to reliable healthcare providers across the chain is truly commendable. I am excited to join the stellar team at CureBay to take its operations to the next level and make a positive impact. It is an honor to be a part of an organisation that is dedicated to improving healthcare access and outcomes for millions of individuals in rural India, and I am excited to contribute my expertise and experience towards this noble cause," added Vasant Nangia.

Co-founded in 2022 by Priyadarshi Mohapatra along with Shobhan Mahapatra and Sanjay Swain, CureBay was established with the goal of creating a similar transformation in healthcare – building an innovative model for delivering last mile in healthcare services through a tech-leveraged hybrid model. The platform has recently closed a Series A funding round of Rs 50 crore led by Elevar Equity, positioning the organisation for further growth and expansion.
