A Conversation with Carina Kholi the Founder of Humm care.
Passion for healthcare, particularly women’s health, has been a defining force in my journey. As a teenager, my struggle with PCOS led me to extensive research and a deep commitment to addressing healthcare challenges. This passion, combined with my background in business management with a focus on entrepreneurship and finance, set me on a path toward building something meaningful. With entrepreneurship in my DNA, inspired by my parents, I knew I wanted to create a lasting impact in healthcare.
My entry into the FemTech industry was driven by firsthand experiences and rigorous research. Conducting surveys, focus groups, and 1:1 interviews with over 1,000 women, I uncovered common struggles spanning pregnancy, postpartum care, hormone health, and menopause. Recognizing the broader need, Humm Care was designed as an inclusive health-tech platform addressing men’s health, elderly care, and mental well-being alongside women’s health and family care. Our holistic approach ensures that healthcare solutions cater to people at different stages of life. Healthcare is a long-term endeavor with evolving challenges, but the potential to create meaningful impact remains our driving force.
The journey with Humm Care has spanned nearly five years, but the foundation was laid much earlier, with 16-17 years of personal growth, awareness, and domain expertise. One of the biggest challenges we face is the stigma surrounding healthcare, particularly women’s health. Addressing systemic barriers, increasing accessibility, and shifting mindsets toward proactive healthcare remain crucial for progress.
Defining achievements is always difficult because, for us, success is measured by the impact we create. Every successful consultation through our platform, every individual empowered with better healthcare choices, is an achievement.
“For us, true success is measured not in numbers but in lives positively impacted. Every individual we help through Humm Care validates our mission.”
Humm Care is a health-tech company dedicated to supporting individuals and families across various life stages. Our services include:
- Family planning, fertility, and adoption support
- Maternity and postpartum care
- Eldercare and chronic disease management
- Mental health services
We provide expert consultations, educational resources, and personalized wellness programs, bridging gaps in traditional healthcare. We focus on raising awareness about breast and cervical cancer prevention, reproductive health, and mental resilience, promoting a more proactive approach to well-being.
Currently, we are expanding our operations across India, particularly targeting Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities to ensure greater accessibility. We are also leveraging AI and machine learning to enhance user experience and improve healthcare accessibility.
FemTech is more than just an industry—it is a movement fostering innovation, awareness, and better healthcare for women. Beyond technology, it builds allies, supports women-led initiatives, and drives healthcare progress. Women’s health has been underserved for far too long, and this movement is a crucial step toward health equity.
“FemTech is about more than just innovation; it is about building a future where proactive, accessible, and comprehensive healthcare solutions become the norm, not the exception.”
The next five years will be transformative for the FemTech industry. It is poised to become a mainstream health-tech segment, with increased awareness, groundbreaking innovations, and significant investment, both in India and globally. The momentum is strong, and it is an exciting time to be part of this space.
For those looking to build a career in FemTech, persistence is key. The journey comes with unique challenges, including stigma, funding gaps, and a lack of awareness. However, meaningful change takes time. If you are focused on solving real problems and making an impact, keep going. Don’t take no for an answer.
Collaboration and community-driven efforts are essential to advancing FemTech. My goal is to contribute actively to the industry by supporting those creating impactful solutions and addressing the critical gaps in women’s health. Together, we can build a future where proactive and comprehensive healthcare solutions empower individuals and families across all life stages.
