The AI Marketplace Reading 130,000 Medical Scans a Month | Dr Vidur Mahajan & Alok Goyal

Dr. Vidur Mahajan, founder and CEO of Carpl.ai, on why he left a successful family imaging business to build an AI company from scratch. In this clip, he breaks down the insight that started it all: everyone was building AI for radiology, but nobody was actually using it.

Carpl is now the world's largest AI marketplace for medical imaging, running well over 100,000 patient scans a month and used by four of the world's five largest healthcare groups.

They recently raised a $10M Series A led by IFC, part of the World Bank, jointly with Stellaris Venture Partners, to accelerate the company's next stage of growth.
