At your doorstep, a Hyderabad-based startup offers cupping therapy

Hyderabad: How often do women face challenges in order to get a particular treatment? This precise question led city-based student entrepreneur Fatima Khadar to come up with the Cupping.app, an application offering cupping therapy services at your doorstep .
Fatima is a 3rd-year Computer Science student from Lords Institute of Engineering and Technology, Hyderabad. She also holds a diploma in the Arabic language from King Abdul Aziz University, Saudi Arabia.
Speaking to Siasat.com , Fatima said, “I came with the initiative to provide cupping therapy to people at their doorstep at an affordable price and in the comfort of their homes,” while adding that it is an alternative medicine to Allopathy.
Asked if the service is exclusively for women, she said, “No, I am trying to make cupping accessible for everyone irrespective of their gender or faith.” The student entrepreneur went on to say that she noticed certain irregularities in the health centres providing therapy in Hyderabad.
Sharing her experience at one such centre, Fatima said, “I noticed that not all steps, such as checking the patient’s Body Mass Index (BMI), among others were followed before the cupping procedure.”
