Run with Sandeep for rural healthcare
Sandeep Kumar, DigiSwasthya's founder and a cancer survivor, runs the Tata Mumbai Marathon on 17 January 2027. He is raising ₹2,50,000 to bring specialist care closer to families in rural India. Give what you can, or share the run with people who might.
- Goal: ₹2,50,000
Donations are made on United Way Mumbai, the official philanthropy partner of the Tata Mumbai Marathon.
Why Sandeep runs
From a six-month wait to care close to home
In 2007, Sandeep Kumar fell ill and spent six months moving between hospitals in his home district before doctors could even diagnose him — his district simply didn't have the specialists or equipment to find the cause. He was eventually diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a bone cancer that nearly cost him his arm and his mobility.
That experience of being failed by a lack of local healthcare never left him. In July 2020, he invested his own savings to open DigiSwasthya's first telemedicine clinic in that same district — determined to make quality healthcare reachable for rural India.
Sandeep was treated at Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai. Now he runs through the same city so the next family in a village does not have to travel that far for answers.
