HealthifyMe - Founders/Owners and team

Tushar Vashisht (CEO), Mathew Cherian, and Sachin Shenoy (CTO) are the Founders of HealthifyMe

Tushar Vashisht

HealthifyMe founder and current CEO is Tushar Vashisht. Before starting HealthifyMe, Tushar worked with the Unique ID Authority with the Government of India for nearly two years. Tushar started his career as an investment banker on Wall Street and in the Bay Area before moving to Singapore with Deutsche Bank.

How was HealthifyMe Started?

Tushar Vashisht was overweight when he returned to India eight years ago, after a stint as an analyst with Deutsche Bank in Singapore. His sedentary lifestyle continued after he took up a demanding project management role with the formative team that built India’s digital ID Aadhaar. Tushar was determined to do something about his flab and began by tracking the calories and nutrients in what he ate.

But he soon ran into a problem: there was little help available online in evaluating Indian dishes. Also at that time, Tushar and Mathew were working with UIDAI, and they took up an experiment to see what it feels like to live below the poverty line. Both the co-founders started living on just Rs 100 per day. During the experiment, Tushar and Mathew built an excel sheet with nutritional information on various Indian food.

Tushar came up with an analytical tool to break down the calories and main nutrients in 900 foods and presented it to the government’s planning council as a healthcare aid. This was how HealthifyMe started, the startup was then established in late 2011. Former Google employee Sachin Shenoy later joined him as a co-founder.
