A patient's health can be jeopardized by a lack of true medical guidance at the appropriate moment. Dr. Rohit Sharma created ZINI, a flagship product of Delhi-based GRAINPAD Pvt Ltd, to address these issues. The health tech business, which was founded in May 2017, is an AI-powered, voice-based virtual physician that gives medical advice and directs individuals to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. ZINI can close the gap in India's doctor-to-patient ratio. ZINI can also assist in the collection of structured data, which can aid research and policymakers in making data-driven decisions regarding their communities.

ZINI, which can be accessed via an app, allows users to 'speak to ZINI' about any medical symptom or health concern. The app can assess 950+ health symptoms and 300+ diseases, deliver a thorough report, prescribe a plan of action, and share details of nearby medical facilities that a patient may contact, all with an Alexa-like experience. Whenever a patient calls a doctor, the doctor normally tries to determine why the patient has a fever.ZINI is a virtual intelligence capable of automating the 'history taking' procedure.
