Senior Associate - Strategic Execution

About RISA Labs

Cancer patients face not just a disease, but a broken system where delays in treatment are common due to outdated, error-prone workflows. RISA Labs is changing that with our Business Operating System as a Service (BOSS) - a powerful platform built for the vertical complexity of healthcare, that transforms healthcare operations. Unlike simple automation tools, BOSS breaks down complex workflows into small tasks, managed by smart AI agents like LLMs, digital twins, and reinforcement learners. This creates a digital workforce that doubles the efficiency of healthcare teams, letting a 1,000-person institution operate like it has 2,000 staff overnight.

Founders

RISA was founded by Kshitij Jaggi and Kumar Shivang, IIT Kanpur alumni with a proven track record from their previous healthcare startup, Urban Health. Their vision is to streamline oncology care through cutting-edge technology.

Funding

RISA Labs is backed by $3.5 million in seed funding, led by Flipkart co-founder Binny Bansal, with support from Oncology Ventures, General Catalyst, z21 Ventures, Odd Bird VC, and angel investor Ashish Gupta.
