Kushala Health closes the gap between annual health checks and actual outcomes. Physician-led chronic care management that reduces claims, cuts presenteeism, and keeps your workforce healthy.
Medical Director, Kushala Health
Indian employers spend crores on annual health checks. The reports flag 15–20% of employees as high-risk. Then nobody follows up. The result? Uncontrolled chronic disease, rising insurance premiums, and a productivity crisis hiding in plain sight.
Many in your workforce. Most undiagnosed or unmanaged. A health check report is not treatment.
Second highest in the world. Average time from diagnosis to proper management: 2+ years.

Every employee completes a clinically validated HRA. We identify those who are high-risk for diabetes, hypertension, or obesity — the people who are lost to follow up.
High-risk members get assigned a dedicated physician (not a chatbot) and a 1:1 care coach. Weekly check-ins. Monthly clinical reviews. Diet, exercise, and medication — together, not in silos.
We track HbA1c, blood pressure, weight, and medication adherence monthly. HR gets a dashboard showing real clinical outcomes — not app-open rates. The goal: reverse chronic disease progression.
From pre-diabetes to insulin-dependent. HbA1c tracking, diet optimization for Indian meals, medication review. Our patient KJ went from HbA1c 14 to 8 in six months — with rice still on the plate.
Blood pressure monitoring, DASH diet adapted for Indian cuisine, medication optimization. Silent killer that drives 40% of cardiac hospitalization claims in group insurance.
Clinical obesity treatment — not a gym membership. BMI-based pathways including lifestyle intervention, pharmacotherapy assessment, and GLP-1 eligibility screening where appropriate.
Clinical obesity treatment beyond lifestyle alone. BMI-based pharmacotherapy pathways including GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and combination therapies — physician-guided with regular follow-ups every 6 weeks for dose adjustment, diet modification, and progress tracking.
"My company health check said I was diabetic two years before I saw Dr. Sowmya. Nobody followed up. By the time I came in, my HbA1c was 14. In six weeks with Kushala — a real doctor, a coach who called me every week, a plan that let me eat rice — I came down to 8. I lost 4 kg. I am off one medication. Nobody else did this for me."
"I had chronic GI issues for years — bloating, acid reflux, irregular bowel movements. Multiple doctors prescribed antacids. Dr. Sowmya was the first doctor who looked at the whole picture — diet, stress, sleep, medications I was already taking. Within one week, my symptoms resolved without adding a single new drug."
Your annual health check is a checkbox. Kushala Health turns it into a chronic care program that reduces claims, cuts presenteeism, and gives you clinical outcomes data — not engagement vanity metrics.
Weekly clinical guidance on managing diabetes, BP, and weight — for Indian patients, by an Indian doctor.

Dr. Sowmya has spent over a decade in clinical medicine with a focus on chronic disease — diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and metabolic conditions. She believes in listening before prescribing, in treating the whole patient rather than the lab report, and in combining evidence-based medicine with certified lifestyle medicine principles for lasting outcomes.
As Medical Director of Kushala Health, she oversees every clinical protocol, trains every care coach, and reviews every chronic patient's progress personally. She is also building India's physician training infrastructure for obesity medicine and lifestyle medicine through Kushala MedEd.
