I’m passionate about redefining what modern healthcare can look like. After graduating with my Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from the University of Auckland, I wanted to combine clinical medicine with innovation, which led me to create Selfcaremen, a fast-growing men’s health platform now operating across New Zealand and Australia. My goal has always been to make preventative healthcare more accessible, engaging, and relevant for men, blending strong clinical standards with a fresh, modern approach.Alongside building Selfcaremen, I continue to invest heavily in my own training and development. I work as an Occupational Medicine Physician and RACP/AFOEM Registrar with Sonic Healthcare in Melbourne, where I’m undertaking specialist training with The Royal Australasian College of Physicians in Occupational and Environmental Medicine (2025–2029). I’ve also completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Occupational and Environmental Medicine from the University of Otago and hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Women’s Health. This background allows me to bring a practical, well-rounded perspective to healthcare, sitting at the intersection of clinical work, workplace health, and entrepreneurship.

Jaya Purohit is the Founder of Deorwine Infotech, a mobile app development company that has delivered 200+ apps for businesses across the USA, UK, UAE, and Australia over 15+ years. What makes her story different from most tech founders, she never started as a developer. Jaya began her career in marketing at Aditya Birla Minacs, one of India's largest business conglomerates, where she learned how businesses think, what clients actually need, and why most technology projects fail to deliver on their original promise. That foundation, understanding the business before the code became the philosophy she built Deorwine on. She started Deorwine Infotech from scratch, with no external funding and with a technical co-founder. What she had was a clear belief: that the gap between what clients want and what development companies deliver was a communication problem as much as a technical one. She built Deorwine to close that gap. Today Deorwine has shipped apps across healthcare, logistics, fintech, education, lifestyle, and home services for clients ranging from US clinical trial platforms to global author growth apps. The company holds a 5.0 rating on Google and 4.9 on Clutch, built entirely on client outcomes, not marketing spend. Jaya's expertise sits at the intersection of business strategy and mobile product development. She advises clients on app strategy, compliance architecture, and market entry helping US, UK, UAE, and Australian businesses make better technology decisions before they spend a dollar on development. As a female founder in a male-dominated industry, she brings a perspective that is still rare in tech: one that puts client outcomes ahead of technical complexity, and business results ahead of engineering ego. She is available to comment on mobile app development strategy, the real cost of building and maintaining apps, compliance in healthcare and fintech, and what US and UK businesses consistently get wrong when hiring development partners.
