He Sold His London Home to Build a Startup in America

In this episode of The Second Whistle, Kutraleeshwaran sits down with Inger Sivanthi, founder and CEO of Droidal, to unpack healthcare AI, agentic automation and what it takes to build inside a regulated industry. Inger explains why Droidal moved from financial services into healthcare revenue cycle operations, why AI fails when workflows are broken, and how he thinks about human oversight, hiring, founder risk and money. At the heart of The Second Whistle is a deeper question: how do immigrant roots shape the way people build in America? Inger’s Tamil upbringing shows up in his work ethic, customer trust, family values and leadership across cultures. This episode is for founders, operators, executives and professionals thinking about risk, leadership, reinvention, culture and what it takes to build across countries and careers.
