Hi, I'm Dr. Namrata Upadhyay — a Dentist, Coach, and Consultant to the dental industry. My mission is to upskill dentists by helping them understand the dental device manufacturing space and connect them with real-world projects from the dental tech sector. At the same time, dental device manufacturers often need expert input on product design, development, clinical use, and regulatory strategy. To bridge this gap, I created the Global Dentists’ Pool® — the world’s first Upwork/Fiverr-style platform for dentistry (yes, you can Google it!). It connects dentists — both generalists and specialists — with dental companies, enabling meaningful collaboration and offering clinicians an alternative revenue stream beyond the chair. 💡 If you’re a dentist interested in joining the Pool, fill out this quick form: 👉 https://2ds4n4.share-eu1.hsforms.com/2WgW4IP6vTR-KrC5rLId2pA 🔗 Follow me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dr-namrata-upadhyay-wegotthis 📩 Or feel free to reach out: namrata@namnrpro.com
