Overview
“If your vision does not scare you, it’s not audacious enough” Today we are delighted to have with us the Co-Founder and CEO of Meddo, The Ex CEO of Foodpanda, Mr. Saurabh Kochhar. After finishing his education, Mr.Kochhar started out with good exposure and big companies like McKinsey and Printvenue. He currently handles Meddo, a private end to end clinic chain. At Meddo, he works towards establishing an out-patient care space organisation. His plan is to change the distributed markets and bring together all multiple existing players of the market under one single layer. This is to provide insurance, healthcare and subscriptions all under one package. Mr. Garg and Mr. Kochhar further engaged in an interesting conversation about hospital day care chains in India. The functions, declining levels, manpower, capital investment etc. Mr. Kochhar also throws light upon the handling of contracts and process of infrastructure for such clinics. In his opinion, the problem of Indian medical chains is twofold- the quality of care and the timeliness of care. He firmly believes that for a startup it is important to have a co-founder or business partner. To help your vision grow, a confidante who will always have your back. A very modest man, Mr.Kochhar believes that there is still a lot to achieve and that his journey has just begun!
