Hi,
Please find my personal brief. If it interests you, we could speak further.
1. At the age of 16, I started a mail order firm, named Business Through Mail. It published ” Mail Order Special” which had circulation across the world. I made profits. But time consumed on publishing was too much. I quit the biz at the age of 22(Year-2000).
2. I started BTM trading (with my friend) which acted as a middleman for export and imports across the world. We did well in the biz of connecting buyers and sellers. We closed few big deals. During this biz, I developed contacts across the world. We’re not able to do our own deals due to lack of funds. We decided to quit. After that I went on to work for Advertising agency.
3. During my agency days, I worked for leading brands viz., TAFE, Amco Batteries, and other leading brands. I quit the job and started Real Estate broking Company.
4. Now at my real estate biz and looking to take challenging assignment in dot.com environment.

I’m a practicing cardiologist in West Delhi, in practice for the past 10 years after taking premature retirement from the Armed Forces. Health Insurance in India in true sense is ‘Sickness Insurance’. Claim rates are extremely high because early detection and timely therapeutic intervention aimed at prevention is not being exercised. Of course, the other reason for high claim rates which we all know is deliberate misrepresentation about health status at the time of enrolment. Due to advancements in research based knowledge resources, there is a tremendous unutilized potential in the medical profession in the field of early detection (& timely remedial intervention) of diseases/ disease patterns even when the individual is asymptomatic (i.e. is yet to become a ‘patient’). But this vast & powerful resource is not being utilized as it does not lend itself to commercial application. Till now the thrust of well meaning people has been to appeal to the ethics & morality of medical professionals to exhort them to use this resource more diligently, but sadly (though understandably), it has not worked. Reason is that a major chunk of revenues of doctors come from sickness: either by treating sick people indoors when they are admitted to hospitals or by referring patients to hospitals and getting their ‘referral incentives’, a euphemism for illegal dichotomous practices. After a lot of brainstorming, I’ve hit upon an idea: why not to link preventive healthcare to health insurance? By keeping the people healthy, doctors shall be rewarded and in failing to do so they shall be penalised by having to pay a part of the hospital bills! At the moment, the physician community is busy with single minded focus to put as many people in hospitals as possible (of course they’re egged on by the hospital industry to do so, through various ways & means). In the proposed scheme of things, there shall be a 180 degrees paradigm shift: now the physicians will dread the prospect of one of the individuals under his/her care landing up in a hospital! To give a practical shape to this concept, I propose to set up a Health Insurance company which will enroll services of a few thousand practicing physicians across the country. They shall screen the insurance seekers for pre-existing diseases (obviously with much more diligence) and thereafter shall provide them dedicated preventive healthcare services with the premise that if they succeed in keeping the people under their care out of hospitals (and in turn save the insurance company from having to settle claims), a part of the premiums collected shall be shared with him/her. In case a hospitalization takes place, then the physician shall be sharing a part of the hospital bills. At the moment, health insurance companies are bogged down with claim/ revenue ratios varying between 80% and 100% in private sector and between 110% and 130% in the case of public sector (i.e. they’re booking losses, at the cost of taxpayers of course). In the proposed schema, claim rates can be brought down to less than 5%, without any major investment. One million people thus enrolled country-wide (which is a miniscule number, considering the sheer size of this great country) will generate a premium of Rs 300 crores @ Rs 3000/ person/ year (average). If 50% of this is allocated towards settling claims and administrative costs (including payouts towards participating doctors share), we are still left with Rs 150 Crores in profits, with 100 fold scope for growth! If any venture capital fund finds this idea interesting, they’re invited to call me for a more detailed PP presentation.
Thanks for sparing your valuable time in reading this piece.
