“The Ventilator Project” marks the start of a new era in Indian Medical Technology world.
In the “Pre-Covid” world, SME Medtech companies would make sub-standard, jugaad products which hardly pass-of as “AatmaNirbhar”. Startup Medtech companies would make good, innovative products but would vanish for lack of market support within 2-3 years. Larger companies would mostly import Medical equipments from Europe, US and china and sell at exorbitant prices.
In the new “Post-Covid” world, the ventilator project provides a new platform or blueprint for SME Medtech companies to join hands with Startups and Academia and build world class, truly “AatmaNirbhar” products.
This book is a must read for everyone - young startups brimming with ideas, entrepreneurs involved in new product development, government agencies, academics and all those who want to have a stake in building truly AatmaNirbhar Bharat.
As a person closely involved in the manufacturing of Noccarc V310 Ventilator, I am confident that now there will be many more projects making world class, innovative products in India and this book will be their blueprint.
