About Dr. A. Velumani
Dr. A. Velumani grew up in a farming family in Tamil Nadu and spent years as a scientist at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre before leaving to start Thyrocare Technologies in Mumbai in 1996. The company grew into one of the largest thyroid-testing networks in India, listed on the stock exchanges in 2016 and was acquired by API Holdings, the parent of PharmEasy, in 2021.
His story is now taught as an Indian entrepreneurship case: a salaried scientist with no business background who built a national diagnostics company from scratch. He is quoted often in Tamil and Hindi media, and his own telling of the Thyrocare years covers the mistakes as readily as the wins, including what it was like to take a founder-led company public and then hand it over.
On stage he is candid and direct, speaking in Tamil, English or Hindi. He talks about science-led entrepreneurship, the long arc of running a founder-led public company, and what Indian healthcare needs next. Investor summits, founder gatherings and B-school events book him because he answers the questions first-time founders are usually too polite to ask.
