Surajit Nundy

Surajit Nundy worked as a doctor in the US for over 20 years before coming back to India in 2010. He completed his MD from the University of Washington before doing a PhD in internal medicine from Duke University. As a physician and academic, Nundy was primarily interested in cognitive neuroscience and in understanding the internal workings of the human brain. His PhD was on perception, on the topic ‘why we see what we do’. With his years of experience, he returned to dispense healthcare in rural and slum areas around Delhi. Here, he realised that a large gap in India’s public health system could be fixed by instituting a reliable information network. This informs much of his work today with Raxa.
