Our Story

KidneyChain Story

KidneyChain began as a deeply personal mission, born from loss, love, and a resolve to change the system that failed Kapil's grandmother. After witnessing his dear grandmother, Shantimayee Acharya, suffer and ultimately pass away from kidney failure, Kapil became intimately aware of the devastating consequences of delayed diagnoses and limited access to quality transplant care. Her experience inspired a profound commitment in him to ensure that no other family has to endure the same heartbreak due to an inefficient and inequitable healthcare system.

Our Mission

This loss became the catalyst for his lifelong dedication to kidney health reform. For the past eight years, he has served as a political advocate with the National Kidney Foundation, where he speaks to Texas and U.S. Congress members about kidney-related policies, access to care, and transplant reform. Through this journey Kapil has had the honor of presenting legislation at Capitol Hill, working alongside legislators and patient communities to drive meaningful, systemic change.

His advocacy experience not only connected him to patients and policymakers but also led to the field of nephrology research, where he now utilizes AI and machine learning to address clinical challenges in AKI, PKD, transplantation, and others. KidneyChain represents the intersection of Kapil's personal journey, policy impact, and research expertise—making it more than a platform. It's a mission to transform kidney care with both compassion and innovation.
