Diasporaa 09-17-25 Cricket and Medicine: Mohit Joshipura’s Texas Adventure

In this episode of Diasporaa, hosted by Aditya Mehta, we explore the inspiring journey of Mohit Joshipura, a doctor and Chief Medical Officer at Open Loop. Originally from Bombay, Mohit moved to the US as a teenager and has since thrived in various parts of Texas, ultimately settling in Dallas Fort Worth. The episode delves into Mohit's transition from traditional medicine to digital health during the COVID-19 pandemic, his university life at UT Austin, and his experiences with the Longhorn Cricket Club. The discussion also touches on the intricacies of adapting to a new culture while maintaining roots, and sheds light on the growing role of telehealth in modern medicine.

It focused on helping new immigrants in Canada find their feet, get off to a running start and ease their assimilation into Canadian life. A big part of the platform were conversations, community and support. Though the startup stopped growing once Aditya moved to Seattle, WA - it remained alive in the form of several discussion groups and online communities. Now, Diasporaa has been resurrected in the form of a podcast focused on uncovering and sharing interesting immigrant stories from the South Asian diaspora. It is available on YouTube, all major podcast platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, etc. and is also broadcast as a radio show on Alternative Talk 1150 AM and 98.9 FM HD Channel 3 on Wednesdays from 2-3pm PST. About Aditya Mehta: Aditya is a Bombay boy who has lived in Austin, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Vancouver before making it to his current home in Seattle. He has degrees in marketing, urban planning, real estate and strategy but has spent his career in financial services, social media and now real estate - mostly as an entrepreneur and partly as an employee at Amazon. He balances Indian, Canadian and American culture, loves helping those who are new to North America and looks forward to the interesting stories that his interview guests bring each week. When not podcasting, he is helping his wife Prachi build her pharmaceutical business or hanging out with his son Arjun.
