Genomics and AI-powered startup backed by Infosys is aggressively fighting cancer with innovative solutions.

4baseCare, a Bengaluru-based oncology precision startup, is working to revolutionize cancer treatment in India. Founded by Hitesh Goswami and Kshitij Rishi, the company uses genomics to understand the exact type of cancer and provide targeted therapy. The startup received funding from Infosys Innovation Fund and Yali Capital, and is working with hospital chains like Apollo, Fortis, and Tata Memorial Centre. Goswami explains that the traditional approach to cancer treatment is uniform, but with genomics, patients can be subgrouped into categories, requiring distinct treatments. The company is also using AI to analyze data and provide personalized recommendations. Additionally, 4baseCare is developing a digital twin concept, which integrates a patient’s clinical and genomic data to provide insights for doctors. Despite challenges, including limited awareness among oncologists and high costs, the startup is committed to its mission to provide precision oncology. The team is motivated by the impact their work has on patients, with Goswami naming a patient who was cancer-free due to their recommendations as a source of motivation. The company is expected to make a significant difference in the healthcare industry in India.
