Medikabazaar appoints Vishal Chaturvedi as CTO

Medikabazaar is a digital platform connects sellers with medical establishments for streamlined and cost-effective procurement. They source medical supplies and equipment from China, the US, and Europe, serving both Indian and international healthcare companies. Medikabazaar collaborates with manufacturers, distributors, and healthcare facilities of all sizes.

He has previously been associated with giants such as Samsung, Amazon, British Telecom, Reliance Jio and most recently with online logistics and trucking platform BlackBuck.   

Commenting on the appointment, Founder and CEO of Medikabazaar, Vivek Tiwari, said, “We are delighted to onboard Vishal as Chief Technology Officer. I am certain that his extensive experience in top Tech companies all through his career, coupled with his Tech, Engineering & operational  background, Vishal will complement high growth  journey that Medikabazaar embarked onto.

In November 2022, the company appointed Sandeep Gandhi and Manish Gahlaut as its chief human resources and chief operations officers, respectively.

Gandhi had earlier worked with healthcare, FMCG, telecom and foreign services companies, which includes PepsiCo, Aircel Maxis, Vodafone and Telenor, among others and supports Medikabazaar’s people-first culture and human resources strategy.
