Silver Lining Overcoming Adversity to Build NephroPlus- Asia’s Largest Dialysis Provider

When kidney failure struck twenty-one-year-old Kamal Shah and threatened to derail his life, he fought back to take control. Dealing with each setback life threw at him with stoic bravery, Shah figured a way out each time. With lessons learnt dealing with the disease, he co-founded NephroPlus, a patient-centric dialysis company along with Vikram Vuppala, an MBA, and revolutionized dialysis care in India and beyond to become India’ s largest dialysis services company.

Kamal has been on dialysis since July 1997. Diagnosed with atypical haemolytic uremic syndrome in July 1997, he was on haemodialysis for a year and a half before undergoing an unsuccessful renal transplant. His mother had donated her kidney. Kamal was then on peritoneal dialysis (PD) for six years.
