Why are you doing this?

My Mother Mrs. Bimal Tandon and my Tenacity partner Dr. B.R. Shetty, have the same passion, to contribute significantly to our common country of birth India and also to our respective adopted lands, USA in the case of our family and UAE for Dr. Shetty. Priya and I are inspired by their passionate commitment to the cause of repaying back to our roots. Hence, we at Tenacity are committed to engage in those endeavors that will allow us to make available quality healthcare at affordable cost, with strong sustainability integrated in to systems that we build.

Secondly, just like mobile phones have leapfrogged and rapidly replaced land-lines, similarly Tenacity’s priority is to reach the resource challenged and remotest villages utilizing next generation of medicine which takes healthcare to the patients and allows better education to ensure proactive and holistic healthcare. Tenacity will leverage its partner, Silicon Valley’s company TeleVital’s telemedicine to serve the masses in a responsible manner.

Thirdly, we place high premium on job creation and to empowering women so that a critical mass of this and next generation can collectively contribute to society at large. Tenacity is committed to taking Silicon Valley’s signature entrepreneurship and skill/professional development to UP.
