Growing up in a family of physicians, Meena Mallipeddi didn’t need to imagine the structural cracks in healthcare—she saw them up close. The delays, the bureaucracy, the patients transferred not for clinical necessity but because the right specialist wasn’t on-site. Years later, after building a career in finance and analyzing technology and healthcare stocks, she chose to stop tracking change from the outside and start creating it.
In 2018, she co-founded AmplifyMD with her husband, Anand Nathan, to rewrite the way specialty care works. Not to patch it, not to streamline it, but to replace the clunky, fragmented model with a truly integrated one: a virtual care platform that connects directly with EMRs, supports more than 15 specialties, and brings its own network of hundreds of physicians to the table. One login, one workflow, and one goal—giving providers the tools to deliver faster, smarter, more equitable care. Today, AmplifyMD works with over 200 clinical sites nationwide.
Mallipeddi’s leadership style is no-frills and all-in. She sets aggressive goals and expects everyone—including herself—to rise to meet them. But she’s also clear: the bar is high because the mission matters. She credits Anand for shaping the company’s internal culture and product vision, while she focuses on scaling the business and forging strategic partnerships. That division of labor has kept the company nimble as it grows, and gives her room to do what she does best, move fast, stay close to the field, and drive toward results.
What keeps Meena Mallipeddi moving isn’t just the data, though the numbers are there.
It’s the feedback from inside the system: the hospital that can now treat instead of transfer, and the care team that’s no longer stretched to its breaking point. It’s the proof that the model works—and fixing access isn’t a moonshot, but a matter of execution.
