Every woman needs to see a gynaecologist to sustain good health. As reproductive organs mature during puberty, a regular gynaecological evaluation is a must. One can expect a detailed explanation about normal body functions or answers to any female health-related questions upon visiting the gynaecologist. During the visit, the gynaecologist performs breast and pelvic exams. A detailed examination allows the doctor to check for possible abnormalities. Pelvic exams detect potentially cancerous cells. It is encouraged for every woman to go for a pelvic exam annually to assess/prevent any disorders in the reproductive system. However, finding a trustworthy, qualified and experienced gynaecologist can be challenging. Moreover, not having timely check-ups can lead to certain health conditions going undiagnosed. Understanding the concerns of women, Dr Shweta Shah, Founder and Director of TVAMEVA Clinic, has created an identity of a reliable gynaecologist who offers valuable consultation, diagnosis, and effective treatment. The fascinating interview with the CIOLOOK India team with Dr Shweta revealed her professional journey, USPs, medical field views, evolving technologies, and several other aspects.

Please brief us about your journey in the Gynaecology Solutions sector and how they have made TVAMEVA excel in its niche. I was born in a mediocre, Gujarati, non-medico family where my parents always motivated me to reach heights in education. I was an average student till I pursued mine under graduation (MBBS). I procured my internship from Seth GSMC & KEMH, Mumbai. During this tenure, I decided to pursue my post-graduation in gynaecology from this reputed institute, which is the dream of most medical students. I was focused and was a trendsetter from my youth days. My strategy was to prepare only for two entrance exams (State and All India), unlike others preparing for multiple exams. My single focus, comparable to Arjuna’s birds’ eye view, helped me stand apart, ranking in the top 100. I finally completed my formal education at this prestigious institution, where I learned skills and shaped my persona in a way that prepared me to face the world outside. I started working with some of the seniors in gynaecology to gain experience. My zeal for learning took me ahead in training in minimally invasive surgeries in gynaecology. After completing this formal training in surgery, I started my private practice in a few reputed hospitals. Being an aggressive woman and among those who believed only in my confidence, I was taken as a threat by most of the male surgeons in my field, and like no other woman, I had been through challenges on all fronts. Despite my ever-increasing urge to do something for myself and work for myself, I started my brand in the name of Dr Shweta Shah at the age of 36 years in a very small setup on a rental basis. Like any other new venture, I barely had any patients initially, but gradually my practice started picking up. There were days when I used to wait for patients, but her consistency, and focus, led to an increase in patients. I have always believed in providing the best to my patients. Despite my consultation being on the higher side than others in my field, I still had patients who would just come for me. Being a Gujarati and born in a business family, it is in my genes. She started having a roaring practice in just one year. And my USP is my availability at all times for my patients physically and digitally. I developed a team who worked on my digital platforms, and I started getting more reach. Gradually, I started my self-earned brand, TVAMEVA, which is the replica of my honesty, hard work, and consistency. Considering the current industry scenario, what challenges do you face, and how do you drive TVAMEVA Clinic to overcome them? Nowadays, there is so much information available with just a click. People have access to everything. In such a scenario, only if your services are more patient-oriented and in their best interest can you stay ahead of the rest. Precisely for that reason, ‘TVAMEVA – Only You‘ implies the same. We are ethical in our practices and brutally honest in our services such that patient entry is with doubts, but exit is absolutely doubtless. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs who aspire to venture into the gynaecology space? The time to start will never be right. Start with what tools you have, and better tools will be found as you go along. Surround yourself with people discussing business, saving money, and living better. Make sure that your circle motivates and inspires you. Your business might be small, but the fact that you started something, stayed consistent during hard times and created employment for yourself is extraordinary. To end, chase the vision, not the money. The money will end up following you. How do you envision scaling TVAMEVA Clinic’s operations and offerings in the future? We have started on a very small scale. But we envision building TVAMEVA Healthcare. It will offer a wide range of services in the health sector.

If your previous births were through cesarean and you plan to have your next delivery vaginally, it is termed as VBAC, meaning vaginal birth after cesarean or C-section. Previously, there was a claim that pregnant women who had a cesarean would need to undergo the same procedure for future deliveries. However, this claim is now unproven. As per 2013 data, VBAC after one C-section had a 70.4% success rate, while VBAC after two or more cesareans had a 51.4% success rate (1).
