Dr Umapathy Panyala
NUS EMBA Class of 2006
Managing Director
Sprihealth LLC, Spry Technologies Inc
Where are you now?
The last position I held was in the Middle East as a group CEO for a large healthcare group. I now have a clear understanding of the healthcare market, strong domain knowledge, and a deep introspection at this stage of what’s next – my venture into entrepreneurship!
While the pandemic has put a dampener on plans, I am confident about launching a new product through Spry Technologies – an application for medical imaging, which utilises a unique approach garnered through extensive interviews and domain expertise.
How has the NUS EMBA helped shape where you are and what you’re doing now?
The deep knowledge transformation that the NUS EMBA gave me – from being a medical specialist to that of being a medical specialist with business knowledge – accelerated progress on my personal front and gave me a deep understanding of business issues. I believe that the NUS EMBA completed my mould into that of a business leader.
