Vetri Vanakkam

I am Dr. Punithan Shan, a medical doctor, entrepreneur, TV host, and student mentor dedicated to empowering the Malaysian Indian community. From the consulting room to the television screen, my mission has always been to educate, inspire, and uplift through healthcare, education, and mentorship.

 

My Journey

 

My career began in medicine, where I developed a deep passion for public health and education. Over time, I realized that my impact could extend beyond the clinic. That led me to entrepreneurship, where I co-founded MindAppz.com, a platform dedicated to digital learning. I also launched eVTEC Academy and StudentMentor.my, initiatives focused on guiding students toward academic and career success.

 

Television & Community Engagement

 

Today, I’m widely recognized as the host of Astro Vinmeen HD’s ‘Vanakkam Doctor’, a popular medical talk show that brings expert insights directly to the community. Through this platform, I work with specialists across various fields to debunk myths, spread awareness, and promote healthier lifestyles among Malaysian Indians.

 

Beyond television, I actively mentor students, guiding them through UPU applications, IPTA/IPTS admissions, and scholarship opportunities—ensuring no deserving student is left behind due to lack of resources or guidance.

 

My Mission

 

Everything I do is centered on one goal: building a stronger, healthier, and more educated community. Whether it’s through medical awareness, student guidance, or digital education, I believe that knowledge is the key to transformation.
