In 2017, after having health issues, he began examining the causes behind the high rate, prematurity, and severity of cardiovascular disease that affects South Asians and the diaspora. Two months into that project, he was a victim of the crisis, suffering his own heart attack at the age of 52, despite being considered “on paper” a low risk by standard Western coronary risk calculators.

This event and other South Asian community incidences of cardiovascular trauma spurred him to devote himself to uncovering historic and scientific truths on why this was occurring. What he found was a confluence of factors underlying the South Asian health crisis. He discovered that South Asians often display the worst outcomes, and that this was partly based on predisposition based on historical influences. It was a clarion call for him to write a book and help South Asians become informed and make decisions to prolong and enhance their lives.

In October 2022, he published an academic paper presenting his research called "The Susceptibility of South Asians to Cardiometabolic Disease as a Result of Starvation Adaptation Exacerbated During the Colonial Famines" Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Journal (ISSN: 2771-8018).

In May 2023, at TEDx Bangalore, he presented his research and vision for a "New Normal" for South Asian Health.
Let's share the need for a "new normal" for South Asian health.
Let's help our community live more healthful lives.
