Success often comes in unexpected forms. For four young bankers, their journey began in the corporate world of finance but eventually transformed into something far more meaningful: changing lives by making world-class spine care accessible to people in rural Maharashtra.
The Turning Point
Mayur Gajare, Nasiroddin Shaikh, Shrikant Lonkar, and Mahendra Sarwade built their early careers at HDFC Bank. Their leadership and hard work were always acknowledged as the best.
But for Mayur, life took a painful detour. He suffered from severe back pain that limited his ability to function normally. After trying different options, he finally found lasting relief at ANSSI Wellness through advanced Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment.
This personal experience was transformative. Meeting ANSSI Founder Dinesh Dalvi and U.S. expert Dr. Joseph Cammarata, Mayur was deeply inspired by their vision. He felt compelled to bring this breakthrough treatment to more people, beginning with the city of Solapur.
A Collective Leap of Faith
Though he came from a finance background, Mayur didn’t have to take this step alone. He reached out to his trusted friends, Nasir, Shrikant, and Mahendra, who shared his values and determination. Together, they launched the first ANSSI Wellness clinic in Solapur.
The clinic quickly began performing beyond expectations, offering numerous patients relief from back and neck pain without surgery. Energised by the success, they opened a second clinic in Kolhapur within just three months. Once again, the results surpassed all forecasts, proving that there was a genuine need for such care.
Awakening to a Bigger Mission
Despite their initial success, the four friends noticed a heartbreaking reality. Rural communities were filled with people silently suffering from chronic back and neck pain. These individuals lacked access to advanced treatment, often resigning themselves to a lifetime of discomfort.
This realisation stirred something deeper in the team. They couldn’t ignore the pain of rural patients. They knew they had to act – not just as entrepreneurs, but as changemakers committed to bridging the healthcare gap. Determined to act, they reached out to the Health Minister of Maharashtra state through their close friend, Mr. Vikram Patil.
Recognition from Leadership
On 15th September 2025, their efforts received a powerful endorsement. The Health Minister, Mr. Prakashrao Abitkar, visited the Kolhapur clinic. The minister personally experienced the treatment, reviewed patient success stories, and engaged in meaningful discussions with the ANSSI leadership.
He was deeply impressed by the vision of providing world-class, non-surgical spinal decompression to people at affordable costs. He encouraged the team to present a plan for integrating this treatment into government schemes, so even the poorest sections of society could benefit.
For the four ex-bankers, this moment was historic. The validation from the Health Minister strengthened their mission and gave them renewed determination to expand their reach.
The Power of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment
At the heart of ANSSI’s success is its U.S. FDA-cleared spinal decompression protocol. Unlike surgery, which involves risks and long recovery times, this treatment is non-invasive, medicine-free, and highly effective. By gently stretching the spine, it reduces disc pressure and increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients, allowing damaged tissues to heal.
With an 80-90% success rate for conditions like slipped disc, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and chronic neck or back pain, it has already helped over 6,000 patients across India regain their mobility and live pain-free lives.
Future Goals: A Statewide Mission
For Mayur, Nasir, Shrikant, and Mahendra, the journey is no longer just about building successful clinics. It is about creating a movement. They are now committed to reaching out to every MLA and MP in Maharashtra to raise awareness about this treatment. Their ultimate vision is to make spinal decompression accessible to every household, especially in rural and economically weaker communities.
With the Health Minister’s encouragement, they are confident about aligning their mission with government-backed healthcare schemes, ensuring that no patient has to suffer due to a lack of awareness or affordability.
An Inspirational Journey To Remember
The story of these four ex-bankers is more than just a career shift. It is a testament to courage, purpose, and a desire to serve humanity. From leading banking operations to leading a healthcare revolution, they chose a path that prioritises people over profits.
Their journey demonstrates how personal hardship can inspire life-changing missions. Mayur’s pain became the seed of a vision, and with the support of his friends, it has grown into a movement that has the potential to transform healthcare in Maharashtra.
As ANSSI Wellness continues to expand, supported by recognition from leaders like Health Minister Prakashrao Abitkar, the mission is clear: to bring safe, effective, and surgery-free spine care to the people who need it most.
These four friends dared to step away from secure corporate careers. In doing so, they created something far greater: the chance for thousands to live without pain.
