Healthcare Marketing & Growth Strategy

Healthcare grows when patients are understood.Most companies skip that part.

I help pharma, digital health, and health tech companies build the systems that actually drive growth — GTM, brand, patient engagement, and lifecycle — from 13 years inside the industry.

Built from inside healthcare.
Not outside it.

I'm Shraddha — a healthcare marketing and growth leader with 13+ years of experience building GTM strategy, brand positioning, and patient engagement systems across pharma, digital therapeutics, and health tech.

I've launched Patient Support Programs from scratch and scaled them to 1 lakh+ patients, built India's first Rx conversational chatbot for dermatology, and driven growth for SaMD and DTx platforms across India and GCC markets.

I consult because I believe healthcare companies deserve strategy grounded in real clinical understanding — not borrowed from another industry.

What I Do

Where I can help

Practical, healthcare-specific strategy — from early GTM to lifecycle optimisation.

01
GTM & Growth Strategy

Market entry, segmentation, value proposition design, and commercial model development. Healthcare GTM that accounts for the real buyer journey — not generic frameworks.

02
Brand & Product Marketing

Positioning, messaging frameworks, and content strategy for health tech, SaMD, and pharma brands. Translating clinical complexity into trusted market messaging.

03
Patient Lifecycle & CRM

End-to-end patient journey design — activation, engagement, retention, and reactivation. CRM automation and cohort-based lifecycle systems that drive repeat engagement.

04
Sales Enablement

Pitch decks, objection-handling guides, demo narratives, and ROI documentation that help commercial teams sell with confidence and clinical clarity.

05
Startup Advisory

Hands-on guidance for early-stage health startups — from first GTM plan to first 10,000 patients. Scrappy, high-conviction execution with a founder mindset.

06
AI in Healthcare Marketing

Helping marketing teams adopt AI effectively — without losing the human judgment that makes clinical communication credible and compliant.

Who I Work With

The right fit matters.

I work with organisations serious about sustainable growth — and willing to do the strategic work to get there.

Awareness Campaign — A Brand for an Ignored Skin Condition

A prescription dermatology brand stuck in stagnation — low awareness, no D2C path. We built an integrated awareness funnel across digital, offline, and BTL that educated patients on the condition first, not the brand. The indirect path drove prescription-seeking behaviour and reversed brand decline.
