Srasti Gupta: Redefining Health Through Data And Design

In an era where health is often reduced to a single number, Srasti Gupta is reshaping the conversation. As the Founder of Dietium, an India–based health and wellness platform pioneering data-driven, personalised nutrition, she’s building tools that help people understand their bodies beyond conventional metrics.

With over eight years of professional experience, Srasti combines her expertise in nutrition science and data analytics to create solutions that empower individuals to improve their health through insight, not guesswork. She holds a Master’s degree in Nutrition Science and Dietetics, along with certifications in Data Analytics and Health Informatics. Her career spans clinical nutrition, research, and health product design, where she has collaborated with leading healthcare startups and wellness organisations.

Recognised among India’s emerging women health-tech entrepreneurs, Srasti has been a featured speaker at wellness forums and a recipient of innovation awards for her contributions to digital health design. Her core areas of expertise include personalised nutrition, health data analysis, behavioural design, user experience strategy, and AI integration in wellness. At Dietium, she leads product innovation, research collaborations, and strategic growth initiatives — driving her mission to redefine health understanding through data and design.

For Srasti, the spark began with a simple realisation: the Body Mass Index (BMI) — long considered the universal measure of health — no longer fits the modern individual. “BMI was never meant to define people,” she says. “It’s a population metric, not a personal one.”

This belief led to the creation of Dietium, a platform that integrates data science, AI, and evidence-based nutrition to decode how individual bodies truly work. By analysing parameters like body shape, waist-to-height ratio, and muscle-to-fat distribution, Dietium helps users see what traditional health tools can’t — their real metabolic health.

Her approach replaces one-size-fits-all metrics with a holistic “health dashboard,” where BMI is just one of many data points. “What I encourage people to track are the numbers that actually reflect your metabolic health,” she explains. “Waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, blood glucose, triglycerides — these tell the true story.”

Under her leadership, Dietium has evolved into more than a digital health platform — it’s a movement toward informed self-awareness. “The goal isn’t perfection,” she says. “It’s empowerment — helping people understand their bodies so they can make informed, sustainable choices.”

With a background that bridges science and technology, Srasti continues to advocate for a future where data and design converge to make wellness truly personal. “Health isn’t a single data point,” she concludes. “It’s the sum of your biology, your choices, and your story.”
