Amit Kothari is the founder & CEO of Tallyfy, an AI-driven startup focused on helping companies document, track, and continuously improve their processes. Born in Kenya, raised in London, and now calling St. Louis home, Amit’s path runs from flipping rare stamps to pay off university debt, to poetry, to a decade consulting on process improvement—before launching his current company. Grants first took him to Chile to MVP the idea, then to St. Louis, where he built a fully remote team serving customers worldwide.

The conversation dives into Toyota-style continuous improvement applied to office work; why onboarding (employees and clients) is a high-leverage process; and how generative AI finally made “right product, right time” possible by auto-drafting SOPs and migrating PDFs into runnable workflows. Amit shares tactics for async, global teams; transparent, GDP-adjusted pricing; keeping moats via customer love, not just features; and a future where AI + robotics tackle physical tasks. His closing advice: skip the flashy fad—solve “unsexy,” real problems people actually feel every day.

Dr. Calvin Cajigal, a first-generation physician and partner at Pain Management Services in St. Louis, joins Raj Tut for a deep dive into the realities of modern healthcare. After earning his medical degree through UMKC’s competitive six-year program and completing his anesthesia and pain management training at the University of Iowa, Dr. Cajigal has built a career balancing clinical excellence with entrepreneurial insight. His story—from overcoming adversity as a minority student to becoming a respected pain management specialist—highlights resilience, mentorship, and the pursuit of meaningful, patient-centered care.

In this episode, Calvin and Raj explore the business of medicine and what it takes to thrive as a physician today. They break down how declining reimbursements and rising overhead push doctors toward hospital employment, explain the RVU (Relative Value Unit) compensation model, and discuss how to deliver quality care amid financial constraints. Calvin also shares strategies for clinical efficiency, reflections on private equity in healthcare, and his philosophy on maintaining ethics and compassion in practice. The episode closes with his health and lifestyle advice—including sleep, fasting, cold plunges, and red-light therapy—underscoring his belief that good medicine starts with taking care of oneself.
