The Journey of NIRVAN began from November 2009…..BY DEFAULT….NO IDEA…
My strengths as a beginner..Risk taking ability..
Thought of being different..Strong intention..

Not to forget my limitations
• No business background.• Earning for myself.• Unpleasant experiences.• No major financial backup.
But “I” ??

Sustainable advantage with differentiation
HCO
• Gift knowledge to doctors.• Small / Medium companies
do not have in house medical deptt.
• Device and diagnostic industries still lack scientific communication and training.
• Training with a difference.• Doctors as first line to deal
with clients.
HCP
• Doctor-Patient relationship • Of the doctors, For the doctors,
By the doctors• Medical practice management.

Hurdles to take the concept across..
• Resistance to change…Awareness required• Management considered as advertising…themselves
managing practice.• Not willing to pay…creating value.• Companies not used to unconventional ways of
promotion…approaching on a regular basis.• Control on expenditure…. short term consultancy / part
time.• Sponsors needed….looking for partners.• Time and energy spent on follow up….

Strength required to overcome the hurdles
• Exude enthusiasm….convinces people.• No hesitation in meeting new people…to explore new
avenues.• Unlearn to relearn…no ego hassles.• Experience of medicine and corporate…gives confidence
and belief.• Accepted being a doctor…make use of it.• NIRVAN is within me…
