As I transitioned into Pharmacy School, I further matured into a proactive networker who would naturally reach out to people and constantly seek solutions to challenges. As an only child, I was naturally driven to seek friendships and developed a strong sense of empathy for others. My parents stressed the importance of humility, a strong work ethic and making a difference to those around you. I was born in Southern India and grew up in the sunny seaside city of Chennai (aka Madras). Can you tell us a bit about your childhood backstory and how you grew up? Before we dive in, our readers would love to learn a bit more about you.

Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series. In addition to a strategic mindset, his ‘people first’ approach has been the hallmark of his professional track record and successes. Satish has over 25 years of experience in building and managing generic pharmaceutical companies, giving him a deep understanding of channel economics and global supply chains as they relate to the broader healthcare system. Satish Srinivasan is the Founder & CEO of DiRx (Direct + Rx, pronounced Directs), a new digital health platform designed to improve medication affordability for Americans who are unable to access it under the health insurance framework. As a part of this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Satish Srinivasan. To highlight these, we started a new interview series about “Technology Making An Important Positive Social Impact.” We are interviewing leaders of tech companies who are creating or have created a tech product that is helping to make a positive change in people’s lives or the environment. But of course many tech companies are doing important work making monumental positive changes to society, health, and the environment. In recent years, Big Tech has gotten a bad rep.
