Episode 6: Dr Anushka Patchava on Founding with Purpose, Mental Health Breakthroughs, and Leading with Authenticity

From Imperial dropout to Cambridge medic to digital health leader — Dr. Anushka Patchava’s career has been anything but traditional.

In this candid and energising conversation, Anushka reflects on:

The cultural and internal pressures that pushed her into medicine
Why she left radiology (and what a night shift at King’s Hospital had to do with it)
Her difficult but necessary leap into consulting and health insurance
Building WellEx and why she walked away from it
Her brutally honest journey with mental health — and how it led her to join a mental health startup

Anushka brings radical honesty, vulnerability, and wisdom to a conversation about identity, ambition, and the courage to start again — again and again. Whether you're contemplating a transition or simply curious about what life outside of clinical work looks like, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
