Hi, I'm Kanav Jain
I’m Kanav Jain, a systems thinker and product leader reimagining the structures we rely on—healthcare, technology, and society—so they center care, equity, and human dignity. My work bridges technology, neurodiversity advocacy, and social justice, combining critique with creation to challenge the status quo.Throughout my career, I’ve focused on developing tools that simplify and humanize complex systems. At Doximity, I led the creation of Doximity Dialer, a platform facilitating over 100 million patient-clinician interactions, making remote care more accessible. More recently, I co-founded Andwise, a platform designed to empower physicians to navigate financial and legal complexities. While Andwise has since closed, the experience deepened my commitment to building solutions that challenge systemic inefficiencies and empower individuals.As an autistic individual, my perspective deeply informs my work and advocacy. I am passionate about advancing neurodiversity and cognitive justice, envisioning systems that value and embrace diverse ways of thinking and being. For me, advocacy is a lived reality—one that shapes the tools I design, the questions I explore, and the alternatives I imagine.On my blog, syādvāda, I critique the systems that dominate our lives—bureaucracies, algorithms, and markets—while imagining alternatives rooted in care and solidarity.Recent articles include:
- Non-Coercive Systems: Exploring how care can replace coercion as the foundation for governance, labor, and healthcare.
- Temporal Solidarity: Examining how slowing down and embracing Universal Crip Time can transform productivity into a communal, sustainable practice.
- Proof-based Harm: Critiquing oppressive uses of documentation in welfare, policing, and migration, while imagining proof as a tool for equity.I believe critique and creation go hand in hand. Identifying what’s broken is essential, but the real challenge lies in imagining and building what comes next. Whether through technology, writing, or advocacy, my goal is to leave systems—and the people within them—a little better, more equitable, and more humane than I found them.
