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.

Nurturing Wellness, Nurturing People – A Transformative Employee Wellness Session at smartData

What truly defines a thriving workplace? Is it innovation, deadlines met, or targets achieved? While all of these matter, the real strength of any organization lies in the well-being of its people. A culture that values wellness is a culture that unlocks energy, creativity and long-term growth. With this thought in focus, smartData organized a special Employee Wellness Program at its Mohali office, an event that turned into an inspiring experience for all smarTians.

The session was conducted by Mr. Varun Gupta, Founder and CEO of Zorgers Home Healthcare, whose presence and perspective brought a refreshing outlook to workplace wellness.

He shared real-life insights on mental balance, stress management and building sustainable daily habits that not only improve productivity but also enhance overall quality of life.

What made this initiative stand out was the way it resonated with our work culture at smartData. We believe in a people-first approach, where growth is not just measured in numbers but also in the well-being and happiness of every team member. The interactive nature of the session allowed smarTians to reflect, engage and discuss openly about challenges faced in balancing work and life, and how small conscious steps can lead to significant transformation.

Wellness at smartData goes beyond occasional programs. It is deeply woven into the way we function.

Mr. Gupta’s insights beautifully reinforced this vision, reminding us that success becomes sustainable only when our people feel strong, secure and motivated.
