The people building Sakura Health

Manish and Kapil were finishing their PhDs at MIT when they met Shashanka at Harvard Business School. Manish's work in healthcare finance pointed them toward a problem hiding in plain sight: an administrative layer still powered by manual work and fragmented systems.

They built the team with the same ambition. Sakura's engineers come from Google, Microsoft, and Uber. Andrew Lo, MIT Sloan's Harris Professor of Finance and a Time 100 honoree, advises the company. Dr. Samyukta Mullangi, an oncologist and clinical strategy leader at OpenEvidence, keeps the work grounded in how care is actually delivered.

Researchers, engineers, operators, and clinicians building a new operating layer for healthcare.
