Her Circle Bizruptors: Dr Pallavi Singh, Founder- Stride Podiatry

In this video of Her Circle Bizruptors, Dr Pallavi Singh take us through her journey of building a business in the Indian podiatry space.

When her mother, a diabetic patient, developed a small wound on her foot that eventually led to the amputation of her toes, it set Dr Pallavi on a path that led her to a field that barely existed in India at the time. This led her to build something that she felt the country’s patients urgently needed.

In this conversation, Dr Pallavi talks about how she discovered podiatry through a single workshop with a visiting mentor, at a time when there was no college, no degree and almost no awareness of the specialisation in India. She learnt that viewing foot and ankle health as an interconnected structural system, and treating it accordingly, could transform a patient’s mobility and quality of life.

This understanding became the foundation of Stride Podiatry, now present across Mumbai, Indore and Jammu. Built around the idea of holistic, long-term care rather than short-term product-led solutions, Stride Podiatry gives each patient significant time and thorough evaluation before arriving at a treatment plan. It aims at combining physiotherapy, podiatry and fitness under one roof.

Dr Pallavi also speaks about something the Indian healthcare and footwear industries have largely ignored: Western footwear is NOT built for Indian feet. She is currently working with footwear manufacturers to design shoes that are genuinely adapted to Indian needs. She is also developing skincare formulations specifically for people with diabetes and those with specialised foot-care needs, addressing a gap she has observed remains largely unmet.
