Prabhat Sharma: The Visionary Entrepreneur Behind Labwala’s Nationwide Diagnostic Revolution

Every great journey begins with small steps, and the story of Labwala is no different.

Born in a humble middle-class family in Jaipur, Prabhat Sharma was raised in a home where education and values were deeply rooted. His mother and father, both teachers, shaped his early outlook on life with discipline, curiosity, and compassion. These qualities became the foundation of his personality and later the backbone of his entrepreneurial journey.

From childhood, he was never afraid to try experimental things. Whether it was science models, creative projects, or simply finding new ways of doing routine tasks, his inclination towards innovation was evident. Until 8th standard, he consistently achieved top ranks in academics, but as he grew older, his focus began to shift. While his academic performance slowed down a little, his participation in co-curricular activities and practical explorations gained momentum. Looking back, this shift played an important role in preparing him for the real world—where creativity and practical skills matter as much as grades.

After completing higher secondary education, he chose to pursue a Diploma in Medical Lab Technology (DMLT). This decision set the foundation for his professional career in healthcare diagnostics. Unlike many students who wait for formal education to end before working, he decided to start early.

Parallel to his studies, he took up his first job as a lab technician trainee. Handling patient samples, observing diagnostic processes, and learning the discipline of healthcare laboratories gave him strong technical knowledge at a young age. This was the beginning of a career that would span over 16 years in the diagnostic industry.

From being a technician, he gradually moved into management roles. His leadership skills and understanding of both technical and business aspects helped him climb the ladder quickly. Eventually, he became a Sales Manager in a large diagnostic center, managing teams, clients, and operations. Over the years, he worked in senior roles in reputed healthcare companies, gaining expertise in business development, customer relations, and diagnostic operations.

Life changed dramatically in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many professionals, he faced uncertainty when he lost his well-settled corporate job. But instead of looking at it as an end, he saw it as a new beginning.

Along with a few colleagues who were also jobless, he decided to take a bold step. They launched Labwala, with the vision of making diagnostics more accessible, reliable, and patient-friendly.

The company began with a pioneering initiative—the home collection of COVID-19 RT-PCR samples. At that time, this service was first introduced in Rajasthan, filling a crucial gap in healthcare access during the crisis. The idea of bringing diagnostic services to the doorstep resonated strongly with people, and Labwala quickly gained trust.

What started as a small initiative during the pandemic soon transformed into a fast-growing healthcare enterprise.

2021–2023 – Labwala expanded into three states, building a strong presence in diagnostic services.

By 2025 – Labwala had grown into a national brand, operating in 124 cities across 20 states in India.

Today, Labwala provides a wide range of diagnostic services including:

Blood Tests & Preventive Health Packages

Complete Full-Body Checkups with Home Sample Collection

Sonography, X-Ray, MRI, CT, and PET Scans

Specialized and advanced diagnostic tests

The company has built one of the largest phlebotomist fleets in India and established the strongest service partner network of reputed labs. This ensures quality and convenience for patients while maintaining nationwide reach.

Labwala is not just about collecting samples and delivering reports. For the first time in India, the company introduced Report Evalution—a unique value-added feature with full-body checkups. Instead of only sharing raw numbers and medical terms, Labwala goes a step further by including:

Personalized Diet Plans

Yoga & Lifestyle Recommendations

Insights into Possible Symptoms

Doctor Suggestions for further consultation

Reports available in 13 regional languages, making healthcare inclusive for all

This innovation bridges the gap between diagnostic reports and actionable healthcare guidance, empowering patients to understand and manage their health better.

The journey of Labwala is not just about business growth—it is about building a healthcare movement.

Vision: To be the Largest Diagnostic Services Network in India, providing cost-effective, reliable, and accessible diagnostic services to every common man.

Mission: To deliver healthcare with trust, affordability, and innovation, ensuring that people in every corner of India have access to world-class diagnostic services at their doorstep.

From being a young boy in Jaipur curious about experiments, to a top student till middle school, to a healthcare professional and finally an entrepreneur, Prabhat Sharma has walked a path full of challenges, learning, and growth. His 16 years of industry experience, resilience during the pandemic, and vision to serve society shaped Labwala into one of the fastest-growing diagnostic networks in India.

His story is not just about building a company; it is about turning adversity into opportunity, about showing that healthcare can be both affordable and inclusive, and about inspiring others to think beyond jobs and build solutions that truly make a difference.

Why your resume (mostly) doesn’t matter - Nishtha Desai

 

TEDx Talk | YoutubeMr. Sarabjeet Sachar, founder and CEO of Aspiration Jobs, recently gave an inspiring TEDx talk during TEDxGoldenBridge Studio, sharing new ideas on how value-based connections play a critical role in professional development. The speaker told us that success often does not hinge on resumes or traditional job applications, but rather on building valuable, meaningful relationships that position one on the right path for opportunities to knock.

TEDxGoldenBridge Studio, themed “Semicolon; Pausing to Connect,” brings together a diverse array of speakers and curators to explore the power of intentional pauses and meaningful connections in our lives; has the reputation for providing a platform to ideas that are worth spreading, gave the best platform to this thought-provoking presentation. The proceedings were efficiently planned by Harsh Thakkar (Licensee), Sahaj Tyagi (Co-licensee), Siya Kachhela (Head Curator), Vraj Dangarwala (First Curator), and Yug Desai (Post Production Lead) so that every moment of the event was memorable for everyone in attendance.

The author, Nishtha Desai emphasizes the significance of forming genuine relationships during one's career path. According to her, the emphasis must be on proving oneself, making personal and professional values align with the company mission, and being around people with the same intentions. For her, a career founded on sincere connections is more fulfilling and successful than one focused only on resumes and automated processes.

Crux of the Topic

In his presentation, Sarabjeet Sachar brought forth the revolutionary idea of value-based relationships, breaking from the conventional dependence on resumes in job searching. He identified how the dependence on resumes generated by artificial intelligence and generic keywords tends to derail the recruitment process, making it increasingly difficult for the candidates to get noticed. The actual key to professional success, he contended, is being a problem-solver, not merely a set of credentials.

Details 

It started at the age of 21, when a newly graduated student was commuting on a local train in Mumbai. Enthusiastically talking about a dream to have a career in sales, this person was excited about the prospect of meeting people, knowing their problems, and providing tailored solutions. Unaware to them, a regional sales manager from a major pharmaceutical firm happened to overhear the conversation. Influenced by their passion and commitment in their words, the manager went up to the graduate and gave them his business card, inviting them in for an interview. No resume was required; it was the passion and commitment that got them the job.

This was the starting point of a successful career in sales, where the person rose through the ranks to senior levels in well-known companies like Times of India, Indian Express, The Hindu, India Today, and ZTV Network. In all these shifts, the emphasis remained on demonstrating their worth and love, instead of talking of a resume.

The central takeaway here is that the traditional resume may open doors, but it’s the authentic value you bring that will truly walk you through them. Research and preparation are key. Much like a business consultant, job seekers should approach potential employers by understanding their needs and positioning themselves as solution providers. This requires a shift in mindset—viewing the job search process not as a race to submit applications, but as an opportunity to build meaningful, value-driven connections.

The presentation touched on some of the real-life scenarios in which professionals constructed their careers by intentionally concentrating on value-based network construction. Sarabjeet Sachar narrated examples of people such as Amit and Simon, who were able to switch into new fields and gain leadership positions by matching their capabilities with the precise requirements of their potential employers.

This creative strategy is opposite to the conventional thinking of writing a resume based on a job description. Sachar emphasized that employers are not seeking flawless resumes but those who can provide solutions to their issues. By establishing these connections via networking and reciprocal value, professionals can tap into job opportunities that are not listed on conventional job boards.

Conclusion

As Sarabjeet Sachar finished speaking, he challenged the audience to change their career development mindset. Rather than just concentrating on resumes, professionals need to work towards building deep, genuine relationships founded on common values. These will open doors to opportunities and drive career progression in a more profound manner.

The TEDxGoldenBridge Studio event gave a new insight into job seeking and career development, urging working professionals to aim at establishing value-based relationships to thrive in the competitive job market of today.

After completing higher secondary education, he chose to pursue a Diploma in Medical Lab Technology (DMLT). This decision set the foundation for his professional career in healthcare diagnostics. Unlike many students who wait for formal education to end before working, he decided to start early.

Parallel to his studies, he took up his first job as a lab technician trainee. Handling patient samples, observing diagnostic processes, and learning the discipline of healthcare laboratories gave him strong technical knowledge at a young age. This was the beginning of a career that would span over 16 years in the diagnostic industry.

From being a technician, he gradually moved into management roles. His leadership skills and understanding of both technical and business aspects helped him climb the ladder quickly. Eventually, he became a Sales Manager in a large diagnostic center, managing teams, clients, and operations. Over the years, he worked in senior roles in reputed healthcare companies, gaining expertise in business development, customer relations, and diagnostic operations.

Life changed dramatically in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many professionals, he faced uncertainty when he lost his well-settled corporate job. But instead of looking at it as an end, he saw it as a new beginning.

Along with a few colleagues who were also jobless, he decided to take a bold step. They launched Labwala, with the vision of making diagnostics more accessible, reliable, and patient-friendly.

The company began with a pioneering initiative—the home collection of COVID-19 RT-PCR samples. At that time, this service was first introduced in Rajasthan, filling a crucial gap in healthcare access during the crisis. The idea of bringing diagnostic services to the doorstep resonated strongly with people, and Labwala quickly gained trust.

What started as a small initiative during the pandemic soon transformed into a fast-growing healthcare enterprise.

2021–2023 – Labwala expanded into three states, building a strong presence in diagnostic services.

By 2025 – Labwala had grown into a national brand, operating in 124 cities across 20 states in India.

Today, Labwala provides a wide range of diagnostic services including:

Blood Tests & Preventive Health Packages

Complete Full-Body Checkups with Home Sample Collection

Sonography, X-Ray, MRI, CT, and PET Scans

Specialized and advanced diagnostic tests

The company has built one of the largest phlebotomist fleets in India and established the strongest service partner network of reputed labs. This ensures quality and convenience for patients while maintaining nationwide reach.

Labwala is not just about collecting samples and delivering reports. For the first time in India, the company introduced Report Evalution—a unique value-added feature with full-body checkups. Instead of only sharing raw numbers and medical terms, Labwala goes a step further by including:

Personalized Diet Plans

Yoga & Lifestyle Recommendations

Insights into Possible Symptoms

Doctor Suggestions for further consultation

Reports available in 13 regional languages, making healthcare inclusive for all

This innovation bridges the gap between diagnostic reports and actionable healthcare guidance, empowering patients to understand and manage their health better.

The journey of Labwala is not just about business growth—it is about building a healthcare movement.

Vision: To be the Largest Diagnostic Services Network in India, providing cost-effective, reliable, and accessible diagnostic services to every common man.

Mission: To deliver healthcare with trust, affordability, and innovation, ensuring that people in every corner of India have access to world-class diagnostic services at their doorstep.

From being a young boy in Jaipur curious about experiments, to a top student till middle school, to a healthcare professional and finally an entrepreneur, Prabhat Sharma has walked a path full of challenges, learning, and growth. His 16 years of industry experience, resilience during the pandemic, and vision to serve society shaped Labwala into one of the fastest-growing diagnostic networks in India.

His story is not just about building a company; it is about turning adversity into opportunity, about showing that healthcare can be both affordable and inclusive, and about inspiring others to think beyond jobs and build solutions that truly make a difference.

Why your resume (mostly) doesn’t matter - Nishtha Desai

 

TEDx Talk | YoutubeMr. Sarabjeet Sachar, founder and CEO of Aspiration Jobs, recently gave an inspiring TEDx talk during TEDxGoldenBridge Studio, sharing new ideas on how value-based connections play a critical role in professional development. The speaker told us that success often does not hinge on resumes or traditional job applications, but rather on building valuable, meaningful relationships that position one on the right path for opportunities to knock.

TEDxGoldenBridge Studio, themed “Semicolon; Pausing to Connect,” brings together a diverse array of speakers and curators to explore the power of intentional pauses and meaningful connections in our lives; has the reputation for providing a platform to ideas that are worth spreading, gave the best platform to this thought-provoking presentation. The proceedings were efficiently planned by Harsh Thakkar (Licensee), Sahaj Tyagi (Co-licensee), Siya Kachhela (Head Curator), Vraj Dangarwala (First Curator), and Yug Desai (Post Production Lead) so that every moment of the event was memorable for everyone in attendance.

The author, Nishtha Desai emphasizes the significance of forming genuine relationships during one's career path. According to her, the emphasis must be on proving oneself, making personal and professional values align with the company mission, and being around people with the same intentions. For her, a career founded on sincere connections is more fulfilling and successful than one focused only on resumes and automated processes.

Crux of the Topic

In his presentation, Sarabjeet Sachar brought forth the revolutionary idea of value-based relationships, breaking from the conventional dependence on resumes in job searching. He identified how the dependence on resumes generated by artificial intelligence and generic keywords tends to derail the recruitment process, making it increasingly difficult for the candidates to get noticed. The actual key to professional success, he contended, is being a problem-solver, not merely a set of credentials.

Details 

It started at the age of 21, when a newly graduated student was commuting on a local train in Mumbai. Enthusiastically talking about a dream to have a career in sales, this person was excited about the prospect of meeting people, knowing their problems, and providing tailored solutions. Unaware to them, a regional sales manager from a major pharmaceutical firm happened to overhear the conversation. Influenced by their passion and commitment in their words, the manager went up to the graduate and gave them his business card, inviting them in for an interview. No resume was required; it was the passion and commitment that got them the job.

This was the starting point of a successful career in sales, where the person rose through the ranks to senior levels in well-known companies like Times of India, Indian Express, The Hindu, India Today, and ZTV Network. In all these shifts, the emphasis remained on demonstrating their worth and love, instead of talking of a resume.

The central takeaway here is that the traditional resume may open doors, but it’s the authentic value you bring that will truly walk you through them. Research and preparation are key. Much like a business consultant, job seekers should approach potential employers by understanding their needs and positioning themselves as solution providers. This requires a shift in mindset—viewing the job search process not as a race to submit applications, but as an opportunity to build meaningful, value-driven connections.

The presentation touched on some of the real-life scenarios in which professionals constructed their careers by intentionally concentrating on value-based network construction. Sarabjeet Sachar narrated examples of people such as Amit and Simon, who were able to switch into new fields and gain leadership positions by matching their capabilities with the precise requirements of their potential employers.

This creative strategy is opposite to the conventional thinking of writing a resume based on a job description. Sachar emphasized that employers are not seeking flawless resumes but those who can provide solutions to their issues. By establishing these connections via networking and reciprocal value, professionals can tap into job opportunities that are not listed on conventional job boards.

Conclusion

As Sarabjeet Sachar finished speaking, he challenged the audience to change their career development mindset. Rather than just concentrating on resumes, professionals need to work towards building deep, genuine relationships founded on common values. These will open doors to opportunities and drive career progression in a more profound manner.

The TEDxGoldenBridge Studio event gave a new insight into job seeking and career development, urging working professionals to aim at establishing value-based relationships to thrive in the competitive job market of today.
