The company aims to revolutionize sexual health through technology and empathy, with a mission to empower individuals to live “uncompromised” lives.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of health and wellness, one company is tackling a sensitive yet critical issue that often goes unaddressed—sexual wellness. Qurex, cofounded by Amit Singhi and Shailja, is India’s first therapy-backed, treatment-focused sexual wellness company. With a commitment to science-based solutions and an emphasis on creating a judgment-free space, Qurex is transforming how individuals approach sexual health.
Breaking the Silence on Sexual Health
Sexual wellness remains one of the most stigmatized aspects of healthcare, often leaving people feeling isolated and hesitant to seek help. Qurex stands apart by addressing these concerns head-on, offering not just quick fixes but long-term, therapy-led treatments. The company prides itself on delivering lasting results without the need for reliance on pills for every sexual encounter. By combining medical expertise and therapy, Qurex creates a safe and anonymous environment where individuals can regain control over their sexual health without fear of judgment.
Amit Singhi, the driving force behind Qurex, explains, "Our tagline, Live Uncompromised, encapsulates our mission. Many people feel they’re living a compromised life due to sexual health issues, and our goal is to empower them to reclaim their lives."
A Unique Journey to Innovation
Amit's career trajectory is anything but traditional. Despite earning a Chartered Accountant (CA) degree and an MBA in finance, his passion for health and wellness drew him into the healthcare sector. This unconventional path was fueled by his father’s unrealized dream of becoming a doctor and Amit’s desire to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. His professional experience, ranging from scaling businesses at Healthifyme and MFine to his ventures in Nutrigenomics, paved the way for Qurex.
Partnering with Shailja, who brought her own personal motivation after witnessing the impact of unresolved sexual dysfunction on a friend’s marriage, Amit found the perfect synergy. Together, they identified a glaring gap in sexual health care in India and set out to bridge it.
Overcoming Challenges in a Stigmatized Sector
Starting a sexual health company in India is not without its challenges. The stigma surrounding sexual health extends beyond patients to the founders themselves. One of the primary obstacles was establishing medical credibility. Amit and Shailja understood that building a legitimate, evidence-based solution required backing from reputable doctors, which they successfully achieved. Additionally, creating a Sexual Health Index (SHI) was a groundbreaking move that allowed Qurex to demonstrate measurable improvements in patients' treatment journeys.
The team also faced hiring difficulties, as some candidates were reluctant to join a sexual wellness startup, often due to parental or societal pressures. Despite these hurdles, Qurex has built a strong, dedicated team that embraces the company’s bold vision of transforming sexual wellness in India.
Innovative Solutions and Future Plans
Qurex’s unique approach lies in its comprehensive treatment model. The company's Sexual Health Index (SHI) acts as a standardized metric to quantify and track sexual wellbeing, similar to how BMI is used for general health. But innovation doesn’t stop there. The team is also working on AI-driven interventions that will deliver personalized insights and evidence-based recommendations, ensuring that each patient receives care tailored to their specific needs.
In the near future, Qurex plans to roll out Phase 2 and Phase 3 of their AI initiative. This will include personalized insights based on SHI scores, and ultimately, an AI-powered therapist offering automated, evidence-based guidance to patients.
A Team Driven by Passion and Purpose
At the heart of Qurex’s success is its team. As Amit describes, "Our greatest asset is undoubtedly our team of dedicated employees." Their resilience and adaptability have allowed Qurex to navigate uncharted territory in the sexual wellness space. The team's shared passion for making a real difference in people’s lives keeps them aligned with the company’s mission, even when the journey is difficult.
Qurex fosters a holistic learning environment, encouraging its employees to wear multiple hats and embrace ambiguity. The culture is built on open communication, empathy, and a deep commitment to users’ well-being. This collaborative, mission-driven approach is what sets Qurex apart, allowing the company to not only address but also challenge the stigma surrounding sexual health in India.
A Vision for the Future
Amit’s personal motivation for starting Qurex stems from a combination of professional insight and personal connections. His nine years in the healthcare industry made him acutely aware of the gaps in sexual health care, and his co-founder Shailja’s personal experiences reinforced the urgency of addressing these issues. Together, they have created a company that not only seeks to provide treatment but also aims to change the narrative around sexual health in India.
Looking ahead, Qurex is poised to make an even greater impact. With its pioneering technology and patient-centered approach, the company is set to lead the sexual wellness revolution in India and beyond.
