Labwala’s Success Story: Mr. Prabhat Sharma’s Mission to Make Healthcare Accessible for Every Indian

Every great journey begins with small steps, and the
story of Labwala is no different.
Born in a humble middle-class
family in Jaipur, Prabhat Sharma was raised in a home where education and
values were deeply rooted. His mother
and father, both teachers, shaped his early outlook on life with
discipline, curiosity, and compassion. These qualities became the foundation of
his personality and later the backbone of his entrepreneurial journey.
From childhood, he was never afraid to try experimental things. Whether it was
science models, creative projects, or simply finding new ways of doing routine
tasks, his inclination towards innovation was evident. Until 8th standard, he consistently achieved top ranks in academics, but as he grew
older, his focus began to shift. While his academic performance slowed down a
little, his participation in co-curricular
activities and practical explorations gained momentum. Looking back, this
shift played an important role in preparing him for the real world—where
creativity and practical skills matter as much as grades.
After
completing higher secondary education, he chose to pursue a Diploma in Medical Lab Technology (DMLT).
This decision set the foundation for his professional career in healthcare
diagnostics. Unlike many students who wait for formal education to end before
working, he decided to start early.
Parallel to his studies, he took up his first job as a lab technician trainee.
Handling patient samples, observing diagnostic processes, and learning the
discipline of healthcare laboratories gave him strong technical knowledge at a
young age. This was the beginning of a career that would span over 16 years in the diagnostic industry.
From being a technician, he gradually moved into management roles. His leadership skills
and understanding of both technical and business aspects helped him climb the
ladder quickly. Eventually, he became a Sales
Manager in a large diagnostic center, managing teams, clients, and
operations. Over the years, he worked in senior
roles in reputed healthcare companies, gaining expertise in business
development, customer relations, and diagnostic operations.
Life
changed dramatically in 2020 with the
COVID-19 pandemic. Like many professionals, he faced uncertainty when he
lost his well-settled corporate job. But instead of looking at it as an end, he
saw it as a new beginning.
Along with a few colleagues who were also jobless, he
decided to take a bold step. They launched Labwala,
with the vision of making diagnostics more accessible,
reliable, and patient-friendly.
The company began with a pioneering initiative—the home collection of COVID-19 RT-PCR samples.
At that time, this service was first
introduced in Rajasthan, filling a crucial gap in healthcare access during
the crisis. The idea of bringing diagnostic services to the doorstep resonated
strongly with people, and Labwala quickly gained trust.
What
started as a small initiative during the pandemic soon transformed into a fast-growing healthcare enterprise.

building a strong presence in diagnostic services.

Labwala is not just about collecting samples and delivering reports. For

growth—it is about building a healthcare
movement.

From being a young boy in Jaipur curious about
experiments, to a top student till middle school, to a healthcare professional
and finally an entrepreneur, Prabhat Sharma has walked a path full of
challenges, learning, and growth. His 16
years of industry experience, resilience during the pandemic, and vision to
serve society shaped Labwala into one of
the fastest-growing diagnostic networks in India.
His story is not just about building a company; it is
about turning adversity into opportunity,
about showing that healthcare can be both affordable
and inclusive, and about inspiring others to think beyond jobs and build
solutions that truly make a difference.
