Jaswinder Singh Shekhawat’s journey reflects the evolution of a modern legal leader navigating the high-stakes intersection of healthcare, technology, and compliance. As Head – Legal & Compliance at MediBuddy, and with over a decade of experience across leading insurance giants like ManipalCigna, Bajaj Allianz, and Royal Sundaram, he brings deep expertise in risk mitigation, governance, and regulatory strategy. His work today sits at the forefront of digital healthcare transformation—where trust, data, and compliance define success.

In this episode of The Koffee Conversation, Jaswinder unpacks the rapidly evolving health-tech ecosystem. From cyber risks and data privacy to regulatory ambiguity and AI adoption, he highlights how legal professionals must think beyond statutes and become strategic enablers of innovation. His perspective is clear—law, technology, and healthcare are converging, and those who understand this intersection will shape the future.

Jaswinder’s career journey began in the insurance sector, where he built strong foundations in litigation, compliance, and ground-level legal operations. His early exposure to on-ground realities—handling cases, interacting with stakeholders, and understanding customer challenges—gave him a practical edge that shaped his approach to legal problem-solving.

A defining transition came during the pandemic, when the importance of healthcare became undeniable. Moving from insurance to health-tech, Jaswinder stepped into a space filled with both opportunities and complexities. Today, he operates on the other side of the ecosystem—helping digital healthcare platforms navigate compliance while enabling innovation at scale.
