On this latest episode of What The Tech, we welcome the Founder & CEO of Tuktu Care, Rustam Sengupta!
Rustam is a passionate serial entrepreneur with a focus on senior care technology, climate change, and renewable energy. As the founder and CEO of Tuktu Care, an on-demand marketplace that connects aging adults with local providers and companions, he leads the creation of innovative solutions for better aging in place.
Before Tuktu Care, Rustam worked with SDTC, one of Canada’s leading sustainable energy funding organizations, and taught at the University of British Columbia. He also managed research projects for the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy (ISEP) at Johns Hopkins University.
If that wasn’t enough, Rustam also serves on the boards of several impactful organizations and nonprofits, while also serving as Executive in Residence at the Foresight Cleantech Accelerator in Vancouver—a group that we’re big fans of here at Boast!
It’s an impressive CV and I cannot wait to pick Rustam’s brain on what it takes to achieve success and drive such positive change as an entrepreneur.
Smart Tech to increase happiness
Rustam and the team at Tuktu Care understand that artificial intelligence has the power to drive more than just efficiency. By leveraging AI-powered companionship solutions, his team can do matchmaking that helps connect seniors or those with need with the perfect companions to help with their healthcare or just tackling the day-to-day.
The Tuktu Care platform is designed to learn how those in need of support from third-party healthcare providers on a day-to-day basis want their relationships to play out. From matching personalities to ensuring relevant skillsets are brought to the table, the beauty of their healthtech solution is that the experience of engaging with Tuktu Care is itself a source of joy for many users.
Taking out the middle layer has helped make Tuktu up to 50 percent more affordable in connecting those in need with caretakers, companions or healthcare professionals. Beyond affordability, there’s layers of vetting, security and even comfort that users can rest assured will be handled throughout the entire interaction with Tuktu Care’s services.
