Dr. Vidya Devarapalli
Director, Physio & Wellness Programs
DPT (Touro University, NY, USA), MPT (NIMS Hyderabad), Stanford Ignite — entrepreneurship (Stanford University, CA, USA)
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.

Dr. Fayez Ather Hussain
Physiotherapist

Fayez trained at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences and brings a gym-floor understanding of how people actually move — he lifts, runs, and knows what it takes to get someone back to training. Found most weekends running, at the gym, or hunting for a new café.
Dr. Sathvika Gatla
Physiotherapist
BPT; clinical internship at AIG Hospitals, Gachibowli
Sathvika completed her physiotherapy internship at AIG Hospitals in Gachibowli, where a busy hospital floor taught her to listen quickly and explain clearly. She listens to music, travels, and is usually learning something new.
Dr. Nikitha Venkatesh
Physiotherapist

Nikitha has two years of clinical practice and works the way Siyara does — from the evidence, with the reasoning explained to the person in front of her. She practises yoga, runs, and trains for strength and core control, which is often exactly what she is coaching a patient through.
