Service Capabilities

Genetidoc’s platform provides online consultations in ten Indian languages—English, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, and Rajasthani—allowing patients to receive counselling in their native tongue. The company coordinates DNA sample collection from homes and clinics across the country, covering locations from Chandigarh to Kerala and from Punjab to West Bengal, through a network of trained collection partners. Samples are processed at partner laboratories accredited by NABL and CAP, and all clinical interpretations are performed by Genetidoc’s qualified genetics specialists.

Referring Physician Comment

Dr. Amandeep Kaundal, a pediatrician in Shimla, stated: “In Shimla, there is no clinical geneticist. When I see a child with a suspected genetic condition or an unusual developmental profile, I need a referral pathway that is both credible and practical. Genetidoc has been exactly that; my patients get a proper genetics consultation promptly, their families are counselled in a language they understand, and sample collection is arranged locally. It has changed how I manage these cases.”

Founder Statement

Founder and Clinical Geneticist Dr. Roshan Daniel said: “India has a significant shortage of qualified genetics specialists, and the burden falls hardest on families outside the major cities. Genetidoc was built to bridge that gap, through online consultations, doorstep sample collection, and a panel that speaks the patient’s language. The doctors joining us are active clinicians with deep experience across the country, and they share a commitment to making genetics accessible. This expansion allows us to serve more families, in more languages, from more parts of India.”
