About WinDNA

Keep well people well.

Founded in Mumbai in 2019. Independent. Profitable. Built by clinicians and operators who got tired of waiting for healthcare to catch up.

Our Story

Why this company exists.

WinDNA began with a question we couldn’t stop asking. Why do most people only take their health seriously after something has already gone wrong?

Like many Indian families, we watched people around us face diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, and conditions that should have been caught years earlier. The patterns were quiet, slow, and traceable, but invisible until they weren’t. By the time action began, prevention had already passed.

There was a better way. Science had moved on. Awareness had not.

In 2019, we founded WinDNA to close that gap. To bring modern genetics, microbiome science, and preventive medicine together, calibrated for Indian biology, designed for Indian lives. Not as a luxury. Not as a trend. As a responsible system to help people act earlier and live better.

A report alone does not change a life. Understanding does. Counselling does. Personalised action does. Continued support does.

That is why WinDNA is built around expert interpretation, clinician-led counselling, personalised lifestyle plans, and twelve months of guided support, not one-time testing.

Today we continue to grow on the values we started with.

  • Science, with responsibility.
  • Innovation, with human care.
  • Prevention, before crisis.
  • Progress, without fear.

We are building WinDNA for families, professionals, doctors, and communities who believe health should be guided early, not managed late.

Help people understand their biology.
Help them protect their future.
Help them stay stronger for the life they are building.

Founders

The two people who started this.

Gourisankar Paridaa, Founder and CEO of WinDNA

Gourisankar Paridaa

Founder & CEO

Gourisankar founded WinDNA in 2019 to do what Indian healthcare hadn’t: act before disease, not after it.

Twenty-two years across diagnostics, pharma, and nutraceuticals, with leadership at national and international companies, gave him a clear view of what India’s healthcare system was missing. Most patients arrived too late. Most doctors had no tools to act earlier. Most labs sequenced DNA but never closed the loop with the family.

WinDNA was built to close that loop.

Today he leads Arogya Doot, India’s first trained workforce for genetics-based lifestyle advisory, and WinSkill, the national training programme in nutrigenomics and personalised wellness coaching. He is a Mentor with Startup Nation India and the author of Save Self: India’s Journey from Disease to DNA-Based Wellness.

Rituparna Mohanty, Co-Founder and COO of WinDNA

Rituparna Mohanty

Co-Founder & COO

Rituparna leads operations, product innovation, and compliance, the systems that turn precision medicine into something a real Indian family can actually use.

She holds a Master’s in Computer Engineering and spent her early career as an Associate Professor at Terna Engineering College, Navi Mumbai, before moving into health-tech. Twelve years of technical and academic leadership later, she has built WinDNA’s AI-integrated health engagement platforms and ensured every WinDNA test operates within DPDP Act 2023 compliance, by design, not retrofit.

She designed WinSkill, the educational vertical now running nutrigenomics and preventive-health certifications in collaboration with Indian universities. She also leads the training of ArogyaDoots and champions inclusive community engagement through Sheconomy and TransForNation.

How We Work

A small team, by design.

We’ve stayed deliberately compact. Clinicians, scientists, designers, and operators. Every person who works here has touched a real customer report. We don’t believe in fast scale at the cost of clinical rigour. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

Our Values

What we stand for.

Evidence first

If it isn’t peer-reviewed and clinically actionable, it doesn’t enter your report.

Clinician-led

Every report passes through a real Indian doctor before it reaches a real Indian customer.

Privacy as design

Your data is yours. India-resident, encrypted, never sold, never shared.

Built for India

Calibrated for South Asian biology — not borrowed from western datasets that don’t fit.
