Mukesh Bansal, chairman and founder, Curefit Healthcare Pvt Ltd, said. “As organisations grow in scale and complexity, strong governance and clarity of thought become increasingly important. We have been thoughtful about on-boarding independent voices who bring rigour, accountability and a wider institutional perspective to the board. Kalpana, Arun, Indu and Pragya each bring that depth, and I look forward to their contributions in helping us build a more resilient and responsible organisation,”

“As we aim to build Curefit for the long term, bringing in diverse, global perspectives to our board is a natural step in our journey.
