Navya Care is making a powerful leap in oncology accessibility by scaling its Earthshot decision-support system across regional cancer centres in India. Through partnerships with government and charitable hospitals, Navya is now enabling clinicians in tier-2 and tier-3 cities to deliver standardized, evidence-based cancer care  supported by its AI-powered platform. 

Built on the National Cancer Grid’s (NCG) guideline framework, Earthshot integrates multidisciplinary expertise and real-time AI-driven recommendations. The system helps local oncologists generate treatment plans that align with national standards, while Navya facilitates tumour board reviews and expert consultations.

Importantly, Navya’s expansion includes a CSR-supported model that makes the service free for economically disadvantaged patients. Patients in cities like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Assam have already benefited from this approach through pilot programs and Navya has now expanded into Maharashtra with several regional hospitals. 

Early outcomes from the rollout are promising: clinicians report faster decision-making, reduced unnecessary hospital visits, and better alignment with treatment guidelines. For patients, the benefits are huge  fewer trips to distant cancer centres, lower costs, and access to expert-quality care close to home. 

As Navya’s co-founder Dr. Naresh Ramarajan puts it “By bringing tertiary-level expertise closer to patients, we can significantly reduce the delays, costs, and emotional burden associated with cancer treatment.”
