SAARTHAK BAKSHI
Who am I?
HEALTHCARE ENTREPRENEUR
I am Saarthak Bakshi, CEO of RiSaa IVF, and I’m proud to have been recognized as part of Forbes 30 under 30 Asia, along with receiving several other awards for my contributions to the healthcare industry. As a startup enthusiast, I work closely with multiple startups as an advisor and mentor. I also run an angel fund and network, Neos Angels, where I’ve invested in over 30 startups. I firmly believe in the philosophy of “fail fast and rise early,” and this mindset has been key to my relentless efforts. Through RiSaa IVF, I’ve been able to take the fertility industry to new heights, giving hope to infertile couples. I’m passionate about creating awareness and helping couples understand and navigate their struggles with infertility. I’m also involved with various organizations like IIRFT, Women Hopes, Earth Scientific, and Upkaar Welfare Trust, working towards making a difference.
