MUMBAI: Looks like Ekincare just gave its leadership a shot in the arm. The corporate health benefits platform has elevated Somak Ray from vice president of operations to co-founder, a move that underscores its ambitions for rapid global expansion. Ray, an NIT Surat and XLRI Jamshedpur graduate, has been with ekincare since 2016 and has been central to the company’s rise. He spearheaded India’s largest cashless COVID-19 vaccination initiative, expanded the provider network to over 50,000 partners nationwide, and rolled out new service lines that diversified revenue streams while bolstering ekincare’s market clout.
“Somak’s experience and consistency have played a big role in shaping Ekincare’s growth story so far,” said Ekincare CEO & co-founder Kiran Kalakuntla. “As we set our sights on expanding globally, his leadership will help us scale faster, serve customers better, and create lasting impact.”
In his new role, Ray will steer operations, strategic partnerships, and growth opportunities across domestic and international markets. For him, the promotion is less about the title and more about the mission. “My focus will be on advancing our mission globally; making preventive and primary healthcare more accessible, technology-enabled, and outcome-driven,” he said.
With nearly a decade of experience in scaling teams, processes, and healthcare logistics across industries, Ray’s elevation signals Ekincare’s intent to fortify its leadership bench and reassure stakeholders of its global playbook.
For a company built on health, ekincare has just prescribed itself the best possible medicine, an insider who knows the pulse of its business and the prescription for its next phase.
