Heart Disease Causes Significant Early Deaths Among Urban Professionals in India

Heart disease causes over 59,000 deaths weekly in India, accounting for 32% of fatalities in 2023, with 350 deaths every hour, according to the Global Burden of Disease study. These deaths disproportionately affect urban, working-age professionals, occurring nearly a decade earlier than global averages. Many cases go undetected despite normal health reports. Ankur Bhatia, after corporate leadership, founded The Pivot Health in 2025 to focus on early detection and prevention of heart disease through precision health approaches.
