In today's healthcare landscape, where precision and timeliness are of paramount importance, innovation emerges as not just a luxury, but an imperative.
Dr. Roshan Ratnakar Naik, co-founder of Diagopreutic Pvt. Ltd, embarked on a transformative journey aimed at addressing one of the most pressing global challenges - antimicrobial resistance (AMR). His story is one of perseverance, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of impactful change in healthcare.
Genesis of Diagopreutic Pvt. Ltd: Forging New Frontiers in AMR Solutions
Established on the 10th of November 2022, Diagopreutic Pvt. Ltd stands committed to developing groundbreaking solutions for AMR diagnosis. Dr. Roshan Naik's inspiration stemmed from his firsthand observations during the COVID-19 crisis, where he witnessed a concerning surge in AMR cases. Motivated by the urgency to make a tangible impact, Dr. Naik seized the opportunity presented by the Goa State Innovation Council (GSIC) scheme. This marked the inception of his entrepreneurial journey, which initially began with the development of a prototype addressing water pollution issues. Though fraught with initial
setbacks, this endeavour laid the crucial groundwork for the establishment of Diagopreutic Pvt. Ltd.
The Visionary Duo: Dr. Roshan Naik and Lakshmi Swaroopa Naik
At the helm of Diagopreutic Pvt. Ltd stand two visionary individuals - Dr. Roshan Naik and Lakshmi Swaroopa Naik.

Dr. Roshan Naik's extensive research experience spanning across Europe and Asia, complemented by Lakshmi Swaroopa Naik's expertise in microbial characterisation, forms the formidable backbone of their startup venture.
Bridging the Gap: From Ideation to Impactful Innovation
Driven by a shared passion to effect meaningful change, the founders set out to bridge the gap between diagnosis and treatment in urinary tract infections (UTIs), a prevalent issue exacerbated by AMR. Recognising the pivotal role of accurate and timely diagnosis in combating AMR, they pioneered the development of a near-patient testing kit for
UTIs. This innovative solution not only streamlines the diagnostic process but also addresses the challenges faced in regions with limited healthcare infrastructure.

The journey from ideation to implementation was rife with challenges. Identifying the right team members and securing funding posed formidable hurdles. However, through unwavering perseverance and strategic networking, the founders surmounted these obstacles. Organisations like FiiRE, Goa played a pivotal role in providing mentorship, aiding in the preparation of business canvases, and facilitating crucial connections for the startup's expansion.
Charting the Course Ahead: Regulatory Approvals and Expansion Plans
As Diagopreutic Pvt. Ltd prepares to obtain regulatory approvals for their diagnostic products, their focus remains steadfast on expansion and maximising impact. Collaborations with existing market players in the veterinary sector pave the way for market penetration and revenue generation.
