The founders of Revive Innovations + never dreamed they’d start a med-tech business. Urshita Gautam had studied architecture as an undergraduate and Abhisheik Kamal was working for PwC as an accountant before they applied to attend the Royal College of Art (RCA). Less than two years later, they had created and patented a compact, auto-injector device to rival other commercial devices and transform emergency medicine.
The RCA has been key to the viability of that business, says Kamal, who created the device as part of his master’s in design products: “It really helped us translate a student project into something investible and defensible.”
