Why This Founder Lived in a Nursing Home And What It Taught Him with Sameer Dhar
In this episode, Dinesh and Seema have a conversation with entrepreneur and visionary Sameer Dhar for an inspiring and deeply insightful conversation. From being named one of Canada's top young leaders to founding a successful health tech startup, Sameer’s journey is anything but conventional. He takes us behind the scenes of his bold decision to live in nursing homes for a year, his drive to revolutionize healthcare accessibility, and the personal challenges of navigating identity and purpose after a major startup exit.
This is so much more than a business success story, it's a conversation about resilience, mindset, and what it means to truly be present in the journey of life. Sameer opens up about the power of intergenerational friendships, the lessons learned from stepping into the unknown, and why he believes resolve is the word that will define his year. This conversation is packed with thought-provoking moments that will leave you rethinking your own path.
Sameer is the Co-Founder & CEO of NiaHealth, a Canadian health-tech company making proactive healthcare accessible. Previously, he founded and sold the elder-tech startup Sensassure to Essity, spending a year living in nursing homes to better understand the industry. Sameer previously studied as a Schwarzman Scholar and was named one of Canada’s Top 20 Under 20.
