Dr Richa Mishra: Empowering Women through Healthcare, Education and Leadership

Creating inclusive healthcare and educational ecosystems that nurture women as leaders, advocates, and pioneers in healthcare and education.

When women thrive, all of society benefits. These inspiring words from former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan capture a fundamental truth about progress and development. Across India, women form the backbone of families, communities, and the workforce, yet when it comes to healthcare, they continue to face disproportionate challenges. Access to quality, respectful care that truly understands their needs can be hard to find. On top of that, women still struggle to find opportunities to lead and grow in the healthcare field itself.

It is within these struggles that we find true change-makers, leaders who transform systems. Dr Richa Mishra is one such visionary who has spent over 20 years building healthcare institutions dedicated to people-centred care and social upliftment.

A Journey Rooted in Purpose

Dr Richa’s journey into healthcare began with a simple but powerful drive to make a difference. Starting her career in hospital administration, she quickly realised that the challenges in healthcare went far beyond infrastructure; they were about people, access, and dignity, especially for women.

Working on the ground gave her a close view of the gaps in the system and an even closer insight into the resilience of the communities she served. These early experiences shaped her vision of creating ecosystems that educate, empower, and uplift. That vision found its truest expression in her latest endeavour, Adyant Institute of Medical Sciences.

Building Institutions, Shaping Futures

Dr Richa’s path has never been about one institution or one moment; it has been a continuum of purpose,
built patiently over decades, each milestone laying the foundation for the next.

2000

Shekhar Hospital

Her first bold step into healthcare entrepreneurship. Shekhar Hospital was founded to provide dependable, people-centred tertiary medical care, earning the trust of the community and setting the tone for everything that followed.

2009

Hind Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS), Barabanki

A powerful leap into medical education. Co-founding HIMS marked her entry into academic leadership, establishing one of the region’s most respected medical colleges with MBBS and postgraduate programs that continue to flourish today.

2014

Second Hind Institute of Medical Sciences, Sitapur

Further expanding her vision with a second full-fledged medical college, strengthening Uttar Pradesh’s healthcare education infrastructure and reaching a broader student community.

2016

Rural School in Sitapur

Driven by a deep commitment to social equity, she established a school for underprivileged children in rural Sitapur, making quality foundational education accessible to those who need it most.

2019

Adyant Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow

The pinnacle of her mission, blending clinical care, women’s empowerment, and education. From a multi-speciality hospital to the state’s first women-focused medical and nursing college, this initiative brings her legacy full circle with purpose, scale, and soul.

The Story behind Adyant

Founded in 2019 by Dr Richa, Adyant Institute of Medical Sciences stemmed from a powerful belief: that women deserve a healthcare ecosystem rooted in compassion, dignity, and long-term empowerment. Having pursued advanced degrees in Business Administration, Healthcare Management, and Personnel Management, she brought both academic expertise and a deeply human perspective to the field.

Adyant was the culmination of her lifelong mission to create a space where women feel truly seen, heard, and supported at every step. Located in Lucknow, the institute blends clinical care with education and community engagement. At Adyant, Dr Richa merged academic rigour with a deeply human mission: to bring holistic healthcare and education to women across India.

Breaking Barriers, Building a New Culture

The journey to establishing Adyant was anything but easy. As a woman founder stepping into a male-dominated sector, Dr Richa faced her share of resistance, systemic gender bias, doubt, and the challenge of being heard. But rather than letting these experiences deter her, she used them to shape the culture she wanted to create: one that is fiercely inclusive, purpose-driven, and led by women who believe in lifting others as they rise.

Today, Adyant stands as a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem in Lucknow, offering a wide range of medical services, including:

General medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, paediatrics
Obstetrics & gynaecology, ophthalmology, ENT, neurosciences
Neonatal ICU, ICCU, SICU, pain clinic, blood bank, Pathology, radiology

But the vision doesn’t stop there. Adyant is now evolving into an academic powerhouse, developing Uttar Pradesh’s first women-specialised medical and nursing college focused on leadership in health and child care.

Core Values: The CREI Framework

At Adyant Institute of Medical Sciences, a set of guiding values forms the foundation on which every decision, interaction, and initiative is built:

Compassion: Listening and healing with empathy
Respect : Honouring every individual’s voice and role
Excellence: Striving for the highest quality in all we do
Integrity: : Acting with honesty, transparency, and purpose
Empowerment: Building confidence, strength, and independence

Saksham Naari Abhiyaan – Empowerment in Action

Among the most impactful initiatives at Adyant Institute of Medical Sciences is the Saksham Naari Abhiyaan, a multi-pronged empowerment program designed to nurture more than just patients; it aims to raise powerful community advocates. This comprehensive initiative offers:

Self-defence training
Meditation and stress management
Health education and awareness of women’s rights
Paramedical and childcare skill-building

Through Saksham Naari Abhiyaan, Adyant extends its commitment beyond clinical care, cultivating strength, knowledge, and leadership among women in the community.

Vision 2030 – A New Era of Women in Medicine

Looking ahead, Dr Richa envisions Adyant as a hub of medical excellence and a springboard for women leaders in healthcare. The coming decade promises formal academic programs enriched with community outreach and emotional resilience training, all aimed at cultivating generations of skilled, self-aware, and socially conscious women professionals.

Leadership Mantra

To young women entering healthcare, Dr Richa offers this inspiring advice: “Let your empathy be your strength and your ambition be unapologetic. Learn endlessly. Lead fearlessly. And never let your light dim for the comfort of others. The healthcare system doesn’t just need your hands—it needs your heart and your voice.”

Parting Thoughts

In a world where women are often expected to adapt, Adyant Institute of Medical Sciences is rewriting the narrative, one where women lead boldly and unapologetically. Because when women rise, society doesn’t just heal, it transforms.

In a world that often tells women to shrink, Adyant Institute of Medical Sciences stands as living proof of what happens when a woman dares to expand—her vision, her voice, and her impact.

To every reader, especially every woman charting her own course: let your light be too bold to dim, too fierce to be filtered, and too brilliant to be ignored.

At Adyant, we’re not just healing bodies. We’re igniting generations.

And the future? It’s not only female—it’s fearless, focused, and forever rising.

Warmly,

Dr. Richa Mishra
