Recent US Business Visit

From September 23 through October 11, I attended several cities across America to connect with clients, re-introduce our AI-powered product ecosystem, enhance partnerships, and explore new collaborations that aligned with global technology trends.

During the visit, I met with organizations performing work in multiple verticals — from Patient Engagement Platforms and Virtual Care and Telehealth Solutions, to AI Governance and Compliance Systems, Public Health and Insurance Management Platforms, Practice Management Systems, AI-Powered Document Automation Platforms, and many more. Each interaction demonstrated how technology — when built and delivered with empathy and intelligence — has the potential to enhance organizational effectiveness and improve user experiences.

A notable highlight was meeting potential partners in the compounding pharmacy vertical to discuss a Prescription Booking Platform aimed at streamlining patient access and pharmacy workflows. To have them recognize our expertise in the AI/technology space has laid the groundwork for a beautiful partnership, which I am hopeful will yield great and lasting results.

As part of the client sessions, I was able to perform live demonstrations and discuss product roadmaps, shedding light on our smartProduct suite to elevate automation, improve interoperability, and normalize value-based outcomes. As a result, clients provided honest positive feedback and validation around the consistency, transparency, and results we deliver.

Once again, the visit validated that trust, innovation, and a shared vision are all important components in demonstrating progress. It was rewarding to see the partnership develop as we were able to collectively witness our commitment to developing impactful technology.

Business Trip to the United States

My business trip to the United States took place from May 21 to June 7, 2025, with New York as the entry point and Chicago as the exit point.

The primary aim of the visit was to meet and greet-our existing customers where we recently delivered the first phases of their projects, making them aware about our NGT initiatives and Global Capability centres and our overall offerings. The meetings were highly productive they allowed us to discuss and complete the next phases, review project progress, and secure upcoming contracts. In addition, I had the opportunity to connect with several potential new partners, many of whom are deeply focussed on healthcare technology. They expressed keen interest in our offerings and appreciated the advancements we have made.

My itinerary began in New York, from where I traveled to Washington, D.C., covering nearby regions including Maryland. The discussions here centred around strengthening relationships and exploring new opportunities. From Washington, I went aheadto Pittsburgh to meet long-term clients who have been collaborating with us for over three years. These sessions helped deepen our understanding of their evolving expectations and provided a platform to showcase our AI-driven solutions. The clients were pleased to see how we are embedding AI into existing and upcoming projects.

During the trip, an unplanned but fruitful visit emerged. I traveled to Houston to meet a new potential healthcare partner after receiving a fresh business inquiry. The in-person meeting proved to be highly engaging and productive. They provided a tour of their facility, and we had meaningful discussions that would not have been as effective over a virtual call.

The final leg of my trip was to Chicago, where I met another prospective partner interested in our Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) implementation services. Discussions are ongoing, and I also had the chance to interact with another healthcare-focused organisation during this visit.

Overall, the trip was phenomenally successful. 20 touchpoints face to face and 4 zoom/phone calls being in same time zone. I was able to secure new work orders, address client concerns effectively and strengthen our partnerships. Meeting clients and partners face-to-face added immense value, fostering stronger connections and mutual trust.

Business Visit to USA

I had the opportunity to visit the United States this year, where I spent 2.5 weeks traveling across New York, New Jersey, and Florida. During this time, I met with 9 existing clients and 4 potential customers, engaging in meaningful discussions about the future of healthcare IT and technology solutions. These interactions offered valuable insights into their evolving needs and allowed us to align our offerings with the latest industry trends.

A key highlight of the trip was attending HIMSS 2024 in Orlando, Florida—the largest global healthcare IT conference. This year’s theme, “Creating tomorrow’s health,” set the tone for an inspiring and dynamic event, offering a platform to network with industry leaders, explore cutting-edge innovations, and exchange ideas. The insights gained from HIMSS will undoubtedly shape our future initiatives and partnerships, as we continue to push the boundaries of healthcare technology.

Alongside attending the HIMSS conference, I had the privilege of meeting with several key clients to better understand their evolving needs and gather valuable feedback. During these discussions, we reviewed product roadmaps and highlighted our latest advancements in AI, Machine Learning (ML), and other next-gen technologies such as blockchain and advanced data solutions. These conversations reinforced our commitment to empowering clients with the tools they need to tackle industry challenges, improve operational efficiency, and scale their businesses. The trip also served as a crucial opportunity to deepen client relationships, gain fresh perspectives on market trends, and identify potential avenues for new business growth.

Employees poured out of the office, their cheers already echoing across the ground. The much-awaited showdown promised not only a thrilling cricket match but also a celebration of camaraderie that defines smartData’s culture. Two powerhouse squads stepped onto the pitch: sD Royals, captained by Mr. Ajay Tewari, and sD Force, led by Mr. Rakesh Pant.

The crowd erupted with each boundary and groaned with every narrow miss. The sound of applause and friendly banter created an atmosphere where competition and unity blended seamlessly. Dr. Sanjai Tiwari, along with the leadership team, watched every ball with visible excitement, cheering, laughing, and at times holding their breath as the match’s suspense deepened. The SPL was not just about cricket; it was about spirit, teamwork, and the reminder that success thrives when people come together, on the field or in the boardroom.

As the final overs played out and the game reached its climax, the energy around the ground was electric. When the match ended, applause and cheers filled the air, not only for the winners but for everyone who had poured their heart into the game. Dr. Sanjai Tiwari stepped forward to congratulate both teams, his words weaving sportsmanship with strategy. He acknowledged the players’ efforts and tied the moment back to smartData’s larger journey: resilience, collaboration, and the courage to chase ambitious goals.

By the time the sun set over the Mohali office, the day had become a story that employees would recount with pride. It was a day where vision and celebration shared the spotlight, a day that began with strategic clarity and ended with joyous unity. Dr. Sanjai Tiwari’s visit and the SPL thrills were more than events on a schedule; they were a vivid reminder that smartData’s greatest strength lies not only in its business acumen but in its people, their passion, their teamwork, and their unwavering commitment to a shared future.

Travel Purpose and Experience

The primary goal of my travel was to work hand-in-hand with client side team on three crucial areas:

1. Assisting in the launch of a new in-house insurance carrier.
2. Facilitating the integration of an external insurance carrier into our systems.
3. Exploring various AI initiatives and crafting a strategy for their implementation.

In addition to these projects, I conducted technical training sessions for the onsite team. These sessions were designed to share knowledge and ensure everyone felt comfortable using the platform.

Experience

Overall, the travel experience was very positive. Collaborating face-to-face with the teams allowed us to quickly address challenges and accelerate important tasks. The training sessions were interactive, and it was encouraging to see the team’s enthusiasm and involvement. We also engaged in meaningful discussions about AI initiatives, which helped clarify our direction for execution.
