Vidya is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who previously founded and led Pace Physical Therapy Clinic in San Jose, California, USA — treating thousands of patients across orthopedic, neurological, sports, and post-surgical rehab alongside a multi-disciplinary staff. She earned her DPT at Touro University, New York, USA, and her Master of Physical Therapy at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad. Early in her career she trained at Kaiser under Roland Lucas, sharpening the hands-on, evidence-led approach she still teaches today. She completed the Ignite entrepreneurship program at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, California, USA. Vidya has mentored DPT students through clinical rotations and preceptorships with partner universities and physiotherapy schools, and regularly hosts cohort field trips so students see modern, evidence-based clinical care up close. At Siyara she leads clinical care across physio and the wellness studio, and is the Wellness Program Coordinator — designing and curating every class, package, and progression pathway so members get the same listening-first care they would get in a physio session.
