Indian Doctors Never Get Hands On Training After MBBS. Medigrad Is Fixing That One Doctor at a Time.
This edtech startup is turning generalists into confident specialists — without asking them to
quit their jobs.
India is facing a critical shortage not just of doctors, but of skilled, up-to-date clinicians
who can handle real-world emergencies. Especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, doctors lack
access to advanced training.
Founded by Mohit Arora and Puneet Sharma, Medigrad is solving this problem with its blended learning platform, offering affordable, accredited fellowship programs in key medical fields — without interrupting a doctor’s practice.
How Medigrad is Empowering India’s Doctors
In India, the healthcare problem isn’t just about lack of infrastructure — it’s about the lack of
clinical skill-building opportunities for doctors.
From Diabetes and Emergency Medicine to Cardiology, Gynaecology, and Paediatrics,
there’s a growing demand for specialised, hands-on medical expertise — but very few
options for doctors to acquire it, especially if they’re already in practice or based in
underserved regions.
Doctors in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities often have to make a difficult choice: either leave their
practice and relocate to upskill, or stay stagnant and miss out on evolving treatment
procedures. Financial constraints make this even harder.
This exact pain point led to the birth of Medigrad.
The Healthcare Learning Revolution
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Singapore, Medigrad was created by Mohit Arora
and Puneet Sharma, who saw this crisis from the frontlines. They realised that doctors need
flexible, accessible, and affordable education that doesn’t disrupt their ongoing clinical
responsibilities.
So, they built Medigrad — a blended learning platform offering online skill enhancement and
fellowship programs across a wide range of specialisations. These aren’t generic courses —
they’re designed, written, and vetted by a panel of leading clinicians and academicians to
ensure that doctors gain real-world, practical knowledge that helps them in day-to-day
clinical practice.
Making Quality Medical Education Accessible to All
Medigrad’s model is simple but revolutionary:
- 100% online & self-paced
- Accredited and certification-ready
- Designed for MBBS doctors seeking deeper understanding and hands-on clinical
- knowledge
- Covers in-demand specialities like Emergency Medicine, Diabetes, Cardiology,
- Gynaecology, and more
Most importantly, it connects junior doctors with senior experts, allowing real clinical
mentorship in a virtual format.
Why This Matters for India’s Future
In a country with 13 lakh doctors and over 11 crore patients, ensuring doctors have the right
tools to diagnose, treat, and act with confidence is a public health necessity.
Medigrad’s programs are already making a visible impact:
Doctors in remote areas are handling emergencies with confidence
Rural clinics are seeing better diagnosis accuracy
More doctors are choosing to stay in small towns, knowing they have access to growth.
Overall, the platform is reducing preventable medical errors by upskilling at scale
Building a Healthier Nation, One Doctor at a Time
Medigrad isn’t just another edtech startup — it’s a mission to build a stronger healthcare
system from the inside out. By empowering doctors, especially in underserved areas, with access to expert-designed, career-enhancing clinical programs, Medigrad is closing the skills gap — and saving lives in the process.
Because sometimes, solving India’s biggest healthcare problem doesn’t mean building more
hospitals. It means building better doctors.
