Introduction

Dr. Mitali loves this quote by Rim John:

If you are unwilling to risk the usual, you must settle for the ordinary.

Dr. Mitali stepped out of the usual; now she’s anything but ordinary. It’s not just about choosing a path; it’s about picking it at the right moment.

While pursuing dental surgery in college, I believed my future was clear- to care for patients and make a difference one smile at a time.

I genuinely loved science, the human connection, and the healing. But deep down, I always felt a pull toward building something bigger- something that could create impact beyond the chairside.

I still remember a rural dental camp where patients stood for hours under the sun, waiting for care. We were doing our best, yet I couldn’t help but wonder.

I kept thinking- What if we had better tools? What if we could predict who needed help before they even got here?

That moment planted a seed- one that kept growing.

How Dr. Mitali Found Her Way to Product Management

As I advanced in my clinical career, I became deeply interested in how technology, especially AI, could amplify healthcare’s reach. What began as curiosity grew into a calling to solve problems at scale.

My path to product management wasn’t instant. It evolved through hands-on experience and a drive to build meaningful solutions.

From developing an AI oral screening platform for Colgate to creating healthcare chatbots at Apollo Hospitals, each step took me closer to purpose-driven innovation.

Today, as an AI-focused Product Manager, I don’t just treat- I transform. My mission is the same- to heal and improve lives, now through strategy, tech, and scalable impact.

This wasn’t a pivot. It was an evolution.

Conclusion:

Dr. Mitali’s journey reflects the power of exploration. She didn’t start with all the answers, but discovered where her impact could grow by following her curiosity from dentistry to tech.

Today, as a product manager, she’s proof that when you keep exploring, something meaningful eventually clicks- and that’s where purpose begins.
