Piyush Seth of First Medical Services is one of many entrepreneurs
that are contributing to the startup boom that the medical industry is
experiencing. With Fortune reporting that “$6.5 billion was invested in
new healthcare ventures, a 125% increase over 2013,” it is certainly a
“revolution” that is making itself felt. But it is driven by many
different skills, with many doctors taking the plunge to go into
business, with other skill sets like engineers joining the fray.
For Piyush Seth this looks like a natural transition;
with a graduate education in engineering, the future businessman then
went on to land responsible roles with Philips, GE Healthcare, and
Siemens. This gave him a lot of technical training, but also many of the
business skills that he would later go on to use in his own ventures.
As he says, the “entrepreneurial bug caught me early in life,” and that
he “quit a very stable career with Siemens to open a Diagnostic Center,
Kanpur Scans Pvt Ltd in 1995."
It is a decision that many are
faced with, making that jump to move into starting your own business
when you have a reliable career. But it is those that take the risk, are
willing to work hard, that not only will reap the rewards, but also are
changing the face of medicine as we know it. Which is why people like
Piyush Seth of First Medical Services are changing business as well as
the medical care that we receive, and we are all the better for it.
