Prashanth Vastred

Founder, Guduchi Ayurveda

Prashanth Vastred’s journey began in a small village in Karnataka and went on to span technology, entrepreneurship and management consulting, including roles with KPMG and PwC in South Africa, where he had been working since 2006. In 2018, he returned to India and joined his wife, Dr. Yamuna B S, with a shared vision of making authentic, doctor-led Ayurvedic care more accessible.

Together, they built Guduchi Ayurveda, combining Dr. Yamuna’s clinical expertise with Prashanth’s vision for creating a structured and accessible healthcare organisation.

Guduchi Ayurveda was built on the belief that traditional Ayurveda, combined with a structured and modern approach to healthcare, can play a meaningful role in managing chronic lifestyle conditions. Among these, Type 2 diabetes became a key area of focus, leading to the development of India’s Only Dual-Target Diabetes Reversal System Activating Beta Cell Function and Reversing Insulin Resistance.

Today, Guduchi Ayurveda has supported 63,000+ diabetes patients through its growing network of clinics and online consultation across India. What began as a shared vision has grown into a larger mission—to make doctor-led Ayurvedic diabetes care more accessible and help 30 lakh people by 2028 move towards better metabolic health.

CHIEF AYURVEDIC PHYSICIAN

17+ years dedicated to understanding and treating chronic health conditions through Ayurveda.

Dr. Yamuna B S, Founder and Chief Ayurvedic Physician at Guduchi Ayurveda. With over 17 years of clinical experience, her work is rooted in classical Ayurveda and supported by a modern understanding of diagnosis and patient care.

A graduate of Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Karnataka, Dr. Yamuna began her journey as a practising Ayurvedic physician, working closely with patients across a wide range of chronic health conditions. Over the years, she developed a strong focus on addressing the underlying factors behind lifestyle disorders rather than focusing only on symptom management.

Her clinical experience became the foundation of Guduchi Ayurveda's approach to care. She has played a key role in developing treatment protocols and proprietary Ayurvedic formulations, while guiding the organisation's clinical team and standards of patient care.

Today, her work focuses primarily on Type 2 diabetes and metabolic health, alongside liver health, metabolic disorders and hormonal conditions. As Chief Ayurvedic Physician, she continues to lead Guduchi's clinical direction with a clear belief: Ayurveda should remain authentic while being delivered through a structured, responsible and patient-centred approach.

ABOUT GUDUCHI AYURVEDA

At the heart of Guduchi's approach is the belief that Ayurveda should go beyond one-size-fits-all remedies. Every patient's journey begins with understanding their health condition, medical reports, lifestyle and individual needs. Based on this, qualified Ayurvedic doctors develop personalised treatment plans combining Ayurvedic formulations with diet, lifestyle guidance and continuous clinical monitoring.

Over the years, Guduchi has developed a growing system of Diabetes reversal clinics, online consultations, a team of qualified BAMS doctors and in-house GMP-certified manufacturing capabilities. While its work spans multiple lifestyle-related health concerns, Type 2 diabetes has become a central area of focus, leading to the development of a structured, doctor-led approach to diabetes reversal.

Today, Guduchi Ayurveda has treated 63,000+ diabetes patients through its clinics and online care across India. As the organisation continues to grow, its larger mission remains clear — to make structured doctor-led Ayurvedic care more accessible and help 30 lakh people by 2028.
