Inder is a mission-driven entrepreneur, advisor, and executive coach with a deep passion for helping leaders thrive.

He’s best known as the founder of Kinsa, a groundbreaking health technology company created to detect and predict the spread of illness in real time. Under Inder’s leadership, Kinsa pioneered the smart thermometer, served over 5 million consumers, built a B2B platform used by Fortune 100 companies like CVS, Bank of America, and Clorox, and generated over $100 million in product sales. Despite weathering five near-death experiences—including major market shifts during the COVID-19 pandemic—Inder successfully guided Kinsa to dominate its category, capturing over 90% of the smart thermometer market.

Before founding Kinsa, Inder served as Executive Vice President at the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), where he led efforts to dramatically reduce the costs of critical medicines, saving over $1 billion for low- and middle-income countries. He brokered partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, governments, and global health organizations, earning formal recognition from President Bill Clinton, the UK Government, and the World Health Organization.

Inder’s background spans public health, technology, business, and policy. He holds a B.S.E. in bioengineering and a B.S. in economics from the University of Michigan, an M.P.P. from Harvard Kennedy School, an M.B.A. from MIT Sloan, and an M.S. in Health Sciences from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. He also holds 21 issued patents in health technology and AI-driven data systems.

Today, Inder coaches founders, CEOs, and executives through the most challenging parts of leadership—growth hurdles, co-founder tensions, team dynamics, board pressure, and personal resilience. His coaching style blends strategic expertise with lived empathy for the emotional highs and lows of building something meaningful.

He’s an Entrepreneur in Residence at UC Berkeley, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and an advisor to mission-driven organizations and startups. His thought leadership has been featured in major media outlets including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and NPR.

When he’s not coaching or building, you’ll find Inder scuba diving, geeking out about space (he once dreamed of becoming an astronaut), or playing tag with his daughters in the backyard. He finds inspiration in surrounding himself with family, friends, and people who are passionate about making a difference.
