Dr. Sipra Laddha is a psychiatrist, a Y Combinator-backed entrepreneur, and a mother of four.
After relocating from India in the 1980s, she followed the traditional path of excellence: the NYU Presidential Honor Program, medical school at the Jacobs School, and serving as Chief Resident at Emory. She checked every box of "success".

FROM REVENUE-DRIVEN SCALE TO GLOBAL INNOVATION.
Sipra decided to stop working within the cracks and start building the bridge. This led to the birth of LunaJoy Health (YC W22).
She didn’t just build a brand; she built a movement. Her work has been validated on the world stage—from winning 1st Place in the HITLAB Women’s Health Tech Challenge to being named the Indo-US Chamber Business Woman of the Year.
She is one of the few founders selected for the One Mind Cohort and the Women’s Business Leaders (WBL) Fellowship, proving that her vision is as operationally disciplined as it is clinically sound.
"Healthcare strategy isn’t a consulting exercise. It’s systems work. It requires clinical integrity, operational discipline, and the refusal to take shortcuts".
Whether she is advising a global cohort or sitting across from a patient, her mission is the same: building systems that treat people like humans, not data points.
