During his days at IIT Bombay, Mudit Dandwate designed and built race cars with relentless passion. So it was a natural career choice for him to take up the job of vehicle dynamics expert at Altair Technologies, where he pushed the limits even further. Mudit designed and built four full-scale race cars, including India's first electric race car. But on February 1,2015, his 24th birthday, as he sat alone at Frankfurt airport, Mudit found himself at a crossroads.
Reflecting on his life, he gave himself high marks for innovation, excitement and achievement. Yet when it came to making a real impact on the lives of others, he felt a glaring emptiness. Mudit gave himself six years to change that.
Within two months, he began discussing his ideas for meaningful innovation with his colleague, Gaurav Parchani, who was part of the multi-physics team at Altair. Soon, they became housemates, turning their late-night conversations into intense brainstorming sessions. One evening, after watching an animated superhero film, a spark of inspiration struck: what if they could create an Al-powered device that silently monitors health parameters and sends an alert when something is wrong?
Personal tragedy also played a key role in shaping the idea behind what would eventually become Dozee. "My uncle suffered a mishap in a hospital, and it got me thinking: 'Why aren't patient beds monitored like we monitor every component of a car?" Mudit recalled while speaking with THE WEEK. "In cars, we take pre-emptive action to prevent accidents or damage. Why not apply the same principle to human health?"
