5C Network

5C Network (5C) is India’s largest digital radiology platform, supporting thousands of hospitals and imaging centers worldwide.

Founded in 2017, 5C was created to address a fundamental healthcare challenge: limited access to specialist radiologists despite the growing availability of diagnostic imaging. It began as a cloud-based teleradiology network connecting hospitals with expert radiologists before evolving into an AI-enabled platform that supports the diagnostic workflow. By integrating AI into clinical workflows, 5C improves efficiency while keeping radiologists at the centre of clinical decision-making.

5C’s AI-native platform processes more than 15,000 imaging studies each day, combining machine intelligence with a wide network of radiologists to help healthcare providers deliver faster, more consistent diagnostic care beyond the constraints of geography and at scale.

    Kalyan Sivasailam

    Kalyan Sivasailam is a tech entrepreneur whose work has focused on applying digital infrastructure to complex healthcare challenges. Before co-founding 5C Network, he worked across enterprise technology and public health, including developing digital health initiatives for the Government of Karnataka and holding engineering and product roles at Tata Communications. While working across digital health initiatives, Kalyan recognized that one of the health sector's biggest constraints was the shortage of specialist radiologists needed to interpret medical images quickly and accurately. That insight led him to co-found 5C Network along with Syed S. Ahmed in 2017 with the ambition of building a technology platform that could make specialist radiology expertise accessible at scale.

    Syed S. Ahmed

    Syed S. Ahmed is an entrepreneur focused on building technology businesses that address large-scale infrastructure challenges. He has played a central role in shaping the company's strategy and building the operational foundation needed to deliver specialist radiology services across a highly fragmented healthcare system. Syed co-founded 5C Network after recognizing that access to timely diagnosis often depended more on where a patient lived than the availability of medical imaging itself. Together with Kalyan, he set out to build a platform that could connect hospitals with specialist radiologists regardless of geography, helping make expert diagnostic care more accessible across India's healthcare system.
