Meet Our Team

Our dedicated founders bring expertise to create engaging learning experiences.

Mahila Cheralathan

Founder

Mahila Cheralathan has been passionate about becoming a physician since childhood. Through her experiences learning about different areas of healthcare and observing how medical systems function, she became deeply interested in expanding access to early medical education. She is committed to helping young students explore a wide range of medical specialties and discover careers they may not have previously considered.

Naaya Talwar

Founder

Naaya Talwar developed a strong interest in medicine at a young age through early exposure to the healthcare field. Her mother is a practicing cardiologist, and watching her care for patients sparked Naaya's passion for the medical profession. She envisioned a camp where children could learn directly from healthcare professionals and participate in engaging, hands-on experiences designed to inspire a lasting curiosity about medicine.

We founded Medical Mystery Camp because we believe that early exposure to medical education can transform lives and communities. After witnessing the profound impact of hands-on learning and seeing how few students had access to quality medical education resources, we knew we had to act. Our mission is to break down barriers, ignite curiosity, and empower the next generation of healthcare heroes to discover their potential and pursue their dreams in medicine.
