About Ketan Mangukiya - Founder & CEO of Healthray

Ketan Mangukiya is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Healthray - India's AI-powered Hospital Information Management System (HMS) and EMR Software platform trusted by 1,000+ hospitals worldwide. A seasoned Healthcare Technologist and Serial Entrepreneur based in Surat, Gujarat, Ketan has dedicated over a decade to closing the technology gap in healthcare - building software that saves doctors time, improves patient outcomes, and gives governments real-time access to population health data.

Educated at Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Ketan's foundation in computer science sharpened his belief that technology - applied correctly - can fundamentally transform how healthcare is delivered at scale. That belief became the cornerstone of every company he has built since.

He began his entrepreneurial journey as a partner at Ved Solution, where he spent four-plus years building software products and developing the systems-thinking that would later define Healthray's architecture. In 2010, he co-founded Bigscal Technologies Pvt. Ltd. alongside CTO Bharat Godhani - a full-stack software development company that has since grown to a team of 150–250 professionals, serving Fortune 500 companies and startups globally across web, mobile, and enterprise development. Bigscal today powers the engineering backbone of Healthray.

In 2019, Ketan channelled his decade of software expertise into a single defining mission: building Healthray - a cross-platform medical software that runs on every operating system and brings end-to-end hospital digitisation within reach of any healthcare provider, regardless of size or geography. What started as a vision to save doctors two hours per day has grown into a platform now embedded across 1,000+ hospitals, polyclinics, and laboratories worldwide.

Why Ketan Chose Healthcare - and Why It Matters

Ketan's pivot to healthcare was not accidental - it was problem-driven. He observed three systemic failures converging simultaneously: doctors were losing hours to paperwork instead of patients; patients were disengaged from their own care journey; and governments lacked reliable, real-time health data to make informed policy decisions. No single software solution was addressing all three.

That gap is precisely where Healthray was built to sit. By digitising the entire hospital workflow - from patient registration and OPD consultation to lab reports, pharmacy dispensing, and billing - Ketan designed a platform that serves all three stakeholders simultaneously. Doctors reclaim time. Patients feel heard. Health data flows to administrators who need it most.

His conviction: healthcare technology should be as intelligent as the practitioners who use it - and as accessible to a single-doctor clinic in rural Gujarat as to a multi-specialty hospital in Mumbai.

Healthray's Impact Under Ketan's Leadership

1,000+ hospitals integrated worldwide - from single-specialty clinics and polyclinics to multi-department hospitals and diagnostic laboratories across India and international markets.
AI-powered workflows embedded - machine learning, intelligent diagnostics, and automated administrative systems reduce clinical overhead and improve decision speed at every care touchpoint.
Cross-platform accessibility - Healthray runs on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, removing device barriers for rural and resource-limited providers.
24×7 client support with <30-minute response SLA - a commitment Ketan personally championed to ensure hospitals are never left without technical backup during critical operations.
Continuous product innovation - new modules and specialty-specific features are released regularly, from Pharmacy Management to LIMS and EHR Software.

Ketan's Vision for the Future of Healthcare Technology

Ketan does not build for today's problems - he builds for tomorrow's infrastructure. His roadmap for Healthray centres on integrating emerging technologies that make healthcare proactive rather than reactive, and clinically intelligent rather than administratively efficient alone.

Technologies currently embedded or on Healthray's roadmap under his direction:

Machine learning algorithms - predictive analytics for patient risk scoring and early intervention
3D imaging analysis - advanced diagnostic visualisation for radiology and surgical planning
AI-powered virtual chatbots - 24×7 patient engagement, appointment booking, and symptom triage
Advanced diagnostic tooling - decision-support systems that assist clinicians with differential diagnosis
Enterprise-grade information security - end-to-end data encryption, role-based access control, and HIPAA-aligned data governance
Telehealth and virtual consultation - extending specialist access beyond geography through Healthray's telemedicine module

His long-term goal is simple to state, hard to build: a healthcare ecosystem where no doctor is burned out by administration, no patient falls through the cracks, and no government operates blind on population health.

Leadership Philosophy

Ketan leads with a founder's urgency and an engineer's precision. He believes that great products are built by teams who deeply understand the problem they are solving - which is why Healthray's development process involves continuous feedback loops with the hospital administrators, doctors, and lab technicians who use the platform daily.

As a featured speaker at eChai Ventures and an active voice in India's startup ecosystem, Ketan mentors emerging entrepreneurs and advocates for technology-first approaches to India's most pressing sectoral challenges. His belief that AI should augment human expertise, not replace it shapes every product decision at Healthray.
