Back in 2017, there was no easy access to a dermatologist’s expertise for everyday skin and hair care. We identified this problem and worked towards making it accessible with the power of AI.
As a result, Cureskin is the only app that now gives you continuous dermatologist care to manage ever-changing skin and hair conditions.
Guna Kakulapati found himself in a situation where he could not get proper care for his son’s skin condition. After meeting countless doctors, he began to understand skin science and wanted to combine it with his field of expertise – technology.
He then collaborated with his colleague Ramakrishna R, who developed AI-led diagnosis, assessment, and care capabilities. Dr. Charu, who understands every nuance of skincare, brought in medical expertise and presently leads a team of over 50 dermatologists.

Before starting Cureskin, Guna worked in giant technology companies like Google and Amazon in the United States for over 11 years. The idea of a holistic skincare platform was born out of his questioning the norm of a “single-point consultation” for skin health. He believed that there ought to be a system that helps people get continuous guidance from experts, and now this belief drives our every endeavor.
Guna is passionate about technology and data, practices mindfulness daily, and when not working loves spending time with his kids.
Ramakrishna R’s intellect introduced the potential of AI to the field of skin health. He pioneered the usage of artificial intelligence to identify and monitor outcomes of various skin conditions with only photos taken on mobile phones. Thus, eliminating the need for an in-person consultation, which gave everyone the option to get a dermatologist’s opinion from the comfort of their home.
Before this innovation, he worked at Google for over 10 years in several deep-technology teams and leadership roles. His interests include gadgets, wearables, biohacking, and reading everything related to health.
Cureskin would not have been a dermatologist-driven app without Dr. Charu Sharma, who leads the medical team of experts at Cureskin. Before joining hands with her co-founders, she headed aesthetic dermatology at VLCC and helped launch their private line of skincare products.
She is a renowned dermatologist with over 19 years of experience in treating different skin and hair-fall cases. When not in her lab coat, she loves to paint, click photographs, and play video games with her son.
