Meet Rachana Gupta - The woman behind starting the 1st Femtech combining Technology and Ayurveda.

In 2019, Rachana Gupta and her husband, Vishal Gupta, made a bold decision. They left their high-paying corporate jobs to follow their passion: making Ayurveda the top choice for women's health, covering everything from puberty to menopause. 

She also authored the book "Happiness ki Khoj" during her 16-year corporate career. But their real adventure began when they founded Gynoveda. This groundbreaking venture combined Technology & Ayurveda to tackle menstrual problems, making it the world's first Femtech. They even introduced MenoBot, an AI-powered gynecology robot, pushing boundaries in women's healthcare. Gynoveda's impact was significant. It improved the health of 3 lakh women and secured $10M in Series A funding from India Alternatives Fund. Remarkably, the company tripled its revenue each year from FY20 to FY23, reaching an annual revenue of ₹100 crores in just three years.

Rachana Gupta's journey is a testament to the power of passion, innovation, and unwavering dedication in transforming the landscape of women's health.
