Most people will scroll past this. This is written for the one who does not.

HospiPal is building India’s care continuity platform. Doctor-led, co-founded by a surgeon and a nephrologist. We provide trained hospital companions and nursing associates for patients after discharge because the system does a brilliant job of treating people and almost nothing to support their recovery at home.

You will own GMB, local SEO, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, content strategy, hospital outreach and B2B demand generation. No team yet. No playbook yet. You build both.

Direct access to founders from day one. Full ownership. A problem that genuinely matters.

If this feels like it was written for you, it probably was.
