“WHAT IS TO GIVE LIGHT, MUST ENDURE BURNING.”
- Victor Frankl
These are the initiatives I have helped realize, over and above my duties as a Medical Professional - None of these initiatives would have created the impact they did, if it weren’t for the relentless efforts of my amazing medical colleagues, mentors, volunteers & friends. Collaborating with these minds has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

GLOBAL WINNER - PETER DRUCKER CHALLENGE
My business essay on crisis management got selected as amongst the top 3 essays globally. I devised the ‘The Quadruple-P Framework’ for the same basis my lessons learnt as an emergency physician turned student of business management during my handling of the COVID-19 crisis.
My work would be felicitated at the Peter Drucker Forum Vienna wherein I would also deliver the framework for crisis management. I am currently focusing on primary research that would enable the application of the framework to solve complex challenges in healthcare through a cross-functional approach.

MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE
After 6 months of therapy, I was able to wean out of medications for PTSD and depression that I acquired from my experience of serving the COVID-19 frontline.
That transformation led me to become a mental health advocate. I first focused on improving mental health and wellness seeking behaviour amongst other Healthcare professionals. Now I am expanding my influence to cover at-risk students and other working professionals.
I am currently collaborating with NGOs, hospitals, polyclinics and wellness organizations like YourDost to empower at-risk individuals to take the first critical step of seeking care. I am achieving this through delivering virtual talks across the country to raise awareness, break the stigma, promote acceptance of one’s issues and thereafter provide an action plan for recovery.

TRIPLE IMPACT RESIDUE FUND
The idea for the Impact Fund originated from the painful realization that treating symptoms associated with occupational lung diseases was no longer enough.
TIRF is a novel financial solution for preventing crop residue burning. It utilizes blockchain to create a transparent marketplace that incentivizes alternative use cases of the same by providing triple impact data for each dollar invested.
After being adjudicated as one of the winners of the ‘India Impact Challenge’ we are currently in the process of securing investors for rolling out the Fund in India.

Through a peer group of passionate doctors, we have treated countless mild-moderate cases and more importantly, ensured the upkeep of mental health during these challenging times.

NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME
My stint as a Medical Consultant to MEASI group of institutions gave me the opportunity to collaborate with the NSS in catering to the under-privileged in high-risk, high-density areas, in and around Chennai.
The best part about my job was the chance to interact, lead and mentor countless student volunteers from various sister-collages in outreach activities.

TAMZIHAN DA - GIVING BACK :)

It was only a natural progression that we decided to do something to give back to society. We were very fortunate to find people and organizations who believed in our case. The journey has been amazing,
