Siddhant Jain

Siddhant Jain is the founder of Asthma Friend, a free asthma education and support site for people with asthma in India and their caregivers. He has lived with asthma for more than 30 years, so he knows how much it can shape everyday life, from festivals and travel to work and winter air. After he moved from Delhi NCR to Dehradun, his breathing improved. That personal change, and years of managing triggers in Indian cities, led him to build Asthma Friend. His aim is simple: clear, practical and empathetic guidance that helps patients and caregivers feel less alone, without replacing the care of a qualified doctor. Asthma Friend offers articles, tools and a small WhatsApp community where people can share what actually helps in daily life. Everything on the site is educational. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is never a substitute for speaking with a doctor or seeking emergency care when breathing is difficult.
