Dr. Vid Karmarkar
Founder & CEO
Canseva Foundation is started by Dr. Vid Karmarkar.
​
Dr. Vid is a techno-commercial professional with a background in strategy consulting and launching for-profit ventures at the intersection of healthcare, genomics, and oncology. His corporate career, which involved working closely with oncologists across India and engaging with hundreds of patients, revealed the devastating financial impact of cancer on patients and their families. This experience inspired him to enter social entrepreneurship and establish the Canseva Foundation.
​
In a just world, cancer survival wouldn’t depend on wealth or geography. Yet for many, poverty means a delayed diagnosis or unaffordable treatment, making survival less likely. Where you are born should not determine your chances of living through cancer. We are committed to fighting this injustice by ensuring access to equitable, high-quality cancer care for all.
