About Gaurang Choksi
Gaurang Choksi is a gay man and Indian immigrant. As the CEO and founder of Violet, a company that is working to close the gaps in healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community. Gaurang got the idea for Violet when he experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find a healthcare provider who is culturally competent and understands the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ community. He was lucky enough to have the resources to find a good provider, but many people in the LGBTQ+ community don't have that same privilege. Gaurang wanted to create a platform that would make it easier for everyone to find a culturally competent healthcare provider. Violet partners with universities and hospitals to find the best educators to teach courses on cultural competence.
