Entrepreneur India diagnosed the entrepreneur behind the doctor and how Dr. Shetty juggles his duties on a day-to-day basis.

Here are quotes from the industry veteran every healthcare entrepreneur and doctor should read and follow

  • I always wanted to have the freedom to tell people that you don't have to pay much for a surgery if you don't have the required money
  • The greatest roadblock to affordable medical education
  • Healthcare is given by skilled people likes us! When I die, someone else will be taking my position because human resource is replenish able
  • All of them (startups) are doing a great job but my concern is their expectations of what they get at the end of three-five years
  • In healthcare, you have to identify one particular human need and address that really well
  • In healthcare, you need to be comfortable in dealing with people
  • You should have the sense of empathy and belonging towards strangers you are dealing with and make them feel comfortable
  • Essentially what remains important is what I've learnt and I want the younger doctors of today to follow
