A Surgeon’s Mind.

A Builder’s Vision.

A Leader’s Discipline

Dr. Rehan Sayeed

Dr. Rehan Sayeed is a cardiothoracic surgeon, healthcare entrepreneur, and lifelong athlete whose work has consistently bridged clinical excellence with compassionate, preventive care.

Trained at some of the world’s most respected medical institutions, Dr. Rehan began his medical journey at Madras Medical College, followed by advanced training in cardiothoracic surgery at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, under Padma Bhushan Dr. M.R. Girinath. He went on to pursue fellowships and specialist training at Boston University, Harvard Medical School, and The Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, where he worked in heart failure surgery, mechanical heart devices, transplantation, and minimally invasive cardiac procedures. He later headed cardiac
programs at Apollo Hospitals, Bengaluru, performing over 1,000 successful heart surgeries and pioneering endoscopic heart surgery in South India.

Beyond the operating theatre, Dr. Rehan is the founder of the Motherhood Hospitals group, which grew from a single vision into a national network of over 29 hospitals across India, backed by global
private equity institutions. Building Motherhood taught him how to scale healthcare responsibly, without losing its core DNA of empathy, safety, and patient-first decision-making.


Healing doesn’t end when
treatment does. Nutrition is
where real recovery begins.

What shaped WelloTree, however, is not just Dr. Rehan’s medical career but his lived understanding of recovery.

A competitive rower since the age of 15 and a lifelong member of the Madras Boat Club, rowing instilled in him discipline, resilience, and respect for the body’s limits and potential. Dr Rehan has participated in and won several events, secured national medals, and participated in head races in the USA. Years of competitive sport, surgery, long clinical hours, and recovery cycles made one truth clear: “medicine treats disease, but nutrition sustains healing”.

WelloTree was born from this insight


Conversations on Health, Healing, and High Performance


Dr. Rehan saw a clear gap between what patients needed during recovery, especially after illness, surgery or even fatigue and physical stress, and what conventional supplements offered. WelloTree’s formulations are designed to support strength, repair, inflammation control, and long-term vitality, rooted in science and informed by decades of clinical observation.

For Dr. Rehan, WelloTree is an extension of his medical philosophy: helping people recover better, live stronger, and age with dignity.
