INTERNATIONAL TRAINING AND CONSULTING SERVICES (ITCS) A 360° CONSULTANT FOR A SKYROCKETING OVERSEAS CAREER

A scholar once said, When a student studies abroad, his growth doesn’t remain limited to academic shackles. He finds access to world-class innovations, a window of opportunities to diversify his knowledge, learn new languages and cultures that help him grow as an independent and future-ready person. In India, the passion for foreign education isn’t an epiphany. Every year, the country witnesses several aspirers flying abroad to follow their dreams of becoming doctors, engineers and other innovation-based careers. While every subject has its own prominence, MBBS in an abroad college raises the bar up a notch. Countries like China, Philipines, Ukraine, Nepal, Russia enables access to a monumental curriculum that widens the limits of education and knowledge. A life-changing academic system, international recognition, modern medical services, a strong support system for students, outstanding job prospects, and foreign scholarship kindles a significant number of students to fly abroad to International Institutions.

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL - 2 | ISSUE 4 | MARCH 2021

ITCS is an International Education consultant providing robust International admission programs for studying in the United States, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, China, Australia, New Zealand, and several other countries.

They make sure you know exactly what to do, where to go, and who to call when you arrive. Over the entire path of progress, they are your friend and your guide. They are knowledgeable and trained abroad, which helps them empathize with student’s concerns ensuring no query is left unanswered.

The team is repeatedly nourished through training sessions, internationally organized webinars, and seminars at various countries to stay abreast of the trends as well as changes. Its global footprint with a world-class educational system encourages practitioners to meet global job opportunities.

A PROLIFIC BRIDGE FOR ASPIRERS India has a huge potential when it comes to education on scientific aspects. It homes some of the best colleges and professors that one can ask for. But still, many students prefer divergence and don’t wish to remain confined in the mainstream framework. And, ITCS is willing to stand for all such students, giving their dreams the wings to fly high. Established in 2014

by Kshatradhari Mandal (Director), the firm is associated with more than 100 globally renowned Universities in 20+ countries.

The firm is committed to imparting the best possible consulting services with attention to the minutest detail and personalized care. ITCS has a ‘360° framework’ that extends beyond consultation - to training for gateway exams, booking air tickets, arranging for foreign exchange and accommodation for initial weeks, assisting in integrating to a new culture while keeping candidates updated on policy changes through its website and blogs.

A person might think, these are all that an Education Consultancy can provide, but no! As mentioned before, ITCS is a 360° firm, and more than an education consultant - a holistic career guide. After completion of studies, ITCS stands by its candidates - guiding them further on career prospects. The all under one roof model has earned ITCS a significant reverence amongst young aspirers. Conferring its growth, the Director proudly shares, “We are one of the fastest and most trusted overseas education and immigration consultants in India. We believe in fostering globalization, through the promotion of higher education across borders”.

FEATURES THAT PROVES THEIR FINESSE ITCS has very precise guidelines for choosing its colleges. All the associated colleges have a QS World Ranking with 75+ years of history, MCI/NMC approval, Central/state govt. authorization, user-friendly infrastructures and accommodation facilities, World Directory of Medicine School Information and English Medium Education System. Moreover, ITCS takes in Alumni reviews and personally visits the universities for the actual scenario. The quality parameters empower trust among candidates and keep ITCS in the trending section. Its associations consist of some of the globally acknowledged Universities namely – Kazan Federal University (Russia), LVIV National Medical University (Ukraine), Fachhochschule des Mittlestand (Germany), Shandong Medical University (China), Ural State Medical University (Russia) and Spartan Health Services University (USA).

ADDRESSING THE PAIN POINTS “In India, 03 hrs NEET Exam (Qualifying Exam for Medical Aspirants), decides whether or not you’re going to become a doctor. It depends on your day’s performance - else you need to re-attempt”, explains Mr Mandal. Also, there is a fine difference in ‘Cost of Study’ between Govt. and private colleges, which brings foreign education to the picture. Another factor is acquiring a credible MBBS License in INDIA. Prior to 2018, India didn’t have any licensing exam for MBBS, and the opportunity went to Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGE) only. But after the NMC ACT in 2019, it became mandatory for both Medical Graduates of India and FMGEs, to pass the National Exit Test (NEXT), to acquire their license. In such a scenario, it becomes indispensable to choose a University with an impressive pedigree, else clearing NEXT won’t be a success came too easy. Foreign Medical Universities surpass Indian Medical Institutes in several aspects, further raising the bar of foreign education. ITCS understands these facts and devises customized solutions accordingly.

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL - 2 | ISSUE 4 | MARCH 2021

At the same time, ITCS is well-aware of the perks of studying abroad, which helps them inspire candidates. It doesn’t matter whether you speak English or other languages, your grasp over the regional language will improve.

A Bachelor’s degree from a foreign university opens the door to an ocean of opportunities.

Students are also able to explore their interests in hobbies and sports. Universities also offer exciting extra-curriculums and courses, depending on where you end up studying, that will help you expand your horizons in a new country. ITCS is a bridge to all such aspirations. “We provide classroom-based academic research and training programs for undergraduates and a credential program for professionals, to develop productive leaders, practitioners, and people who can respond to intercultural job opportunities,” says Mr Mandal. ITCS also helps NRI students to engage in full-time supervised study and workbased training and learning experience.

These holistic policies place ITCS in the mind of students and parents alike. In the last 4 years, it has sent a bunch of students to China, Russia, Ukraine, etc. Many of them are now sustaining a prolific career.

KEEPING UP WITH THE PERKS

Even before the NMC Act, an MBBS degree from a foreign university was prioritized, so undoubtedly, it has its own prominence. But the true benefits revolve around global exposure, infrastructure, scholarships, reasonable fees, diverse network, flexibility and job opportunities.

The degree is valid across eminent countries like the USA, Canada, UK AUS, New Zealand, and more for M.D Program and jobs as well. Students only need to clear the nation’s respective exams like USMLE/PLAB. International Colleges further incorporate all the state-ofthe-art surgical devices, medical labs, and ample scientific and experimental services that can provide a favourable experience. They also leverage upon i4.0 advancements like robotics, AI, mechatronics, etc. to built world-class Simulation Centers.

On top of that, the budget is very feasible. Public Universities in Germany offers free of cost MBBS course and 100% scholarship. Students can study with a small fee to cover administration and other costs per semester. In China, students able to understand the regional language can study for free and earn a stipend as well. ITCS guides its students in a way that they can afford the tuition fees at a reasonable cost of living. “There is at least 60% of costsaving as compared to India, private or deemed medical colleges”, affirms Mr Mandal. Also, it is very easy to get visa for education and requires no Interview.

We care about the future of our students and aim to be their guardians, not advisers. We share the expectations of our students and their parents, strive to understand their reality, and match our incentives with their ambitions, so they understand we’re in this together”, Concludes Mr Mandal enthusiastically.

WINDS OF CHANGE! THE DNA OF MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS IN INDIA MANOJ JAGATHMOHAN Director & Head, QIAGEN India

” Something

Dave Pelzer

edical Diagnostics plays a crucial part in the delivery of quality health care by providing solutions, information and services that contribute to maximizing the effective delivery by providing answers for many clinical ailments. The recent pandemic has very clearly shown how we need to be clinically ready with our diagnostics testing infrastructure both in the Public and Private healthcare system.

Like the popular adage goes cometh the hour cometh the man, the winds of change have begun in India’s medical diagnostics ecosystem.

Manoj Jagathmohan Director & Head, QIAGEN India

Medical Diagnostics is the most effective, least invasive source of the objective information used in decision-making by a clinician in Infectious disease, cancer testing and non-communicable diseases. There are clear evidence that 60%-70% of critical decisions in diagnosis and treatment involve quantifiable laboratory data. The medical diagnostics industry accounts for only 5% of the total health system cost, but it influences 95% of the remaining costs. Along with treatment regime selection, diagnostic test results help in monitoring of the patient condition during recovery and follow-up. Even in cases of hospitalization, where diagnostics are critical in defining the treatment regime and reducing the turn-around time, the cost of diagnostics is lower than 10% for both urban and rural hospital settings and with volumes this can further be reduced.

This may sound cliched but increasingly it is important to focus on prevention overall as a way forward for the health and well-being of our Nation.

This pandemic explosion has, in fact, highlighted the importance of the health facilities systems and hospitals in the first place, and their constant management, as relevant part of the whole governance of this dramatic and complex moment. This has reinforced the need for Continuous improvement in diagnostic test preparedness be it for more rapid results, at the point of care or community screening for optimized prevention and treatment. Molecular diagnostics would increasingly be the future and the pandemic has shown that this is a key relevant area on which management of major clinical decisions would depend. In health care, periods of crisis and adversity are also frequently important catalysts for innovation. Campaigns against past epidemics were responsible for improvements in health system infrastructure and the adoption of better hygiene practices. Similarly, some of the greatest innovations in trauma care have been the product of wartime medicine. The fight against COVID-19 has the potential to accelerate the emergence of a new framework for organizing and managing health systems in our country.

Lab chains, hospitals, Public Health system and Medical Diagnostic corporations should drive the awareness initiatives to ensure the person/ patient understands the need for preventive diagnostics, coupled with coverage and value. The perceived value of this change should be fully understood by the consumer and provider. This behavior modification will be the key to the success of this change.

The emerging evidence from health systems across India is that COVID-19 will provide the impetus for long overdue changes to the way that Medical Diagnostics is approached and delivered in the entire healthcare spectrum. There needs to be a paradigm mindset shift in the way diagnostics is approached as a tool of prevention and better well-being and this will need to sustain prevention as a goal coupled with digital advancements that healthcare consumers have now come to expect to ensure continuous access to health services in a safe and convenient way. In the Healthcare framework Medical Diagnostics should be built to manage a pandemic as well and not build around the pandemic-this will not only ensure a resilient health ecosystem but also will be a more sustainable one during such trying times.

This will also ensure a more potent patient centric approach which is fast, proactive and reliable.

THE SIX-POINT ACTION PLAN TO LEAD CHANGE AND DELIVER DESIRED OUTCOMES 1. Inclusive and Accessible: Newer Delivery Models that is inclusive will enhance access to Medical Diagnostics the larger population by leveraging on resources, expertise, existing infrastructure like instrumentation and human resources. PPPs mode of delivery across various geographies of the country have proven successful , a fine example for such inclusive model is the success of National TB Elimination programme of India, that has been effectively leveraging multisectoral engagement as part of the TB Harega Desh Jeetega Campaign.

2.

Innovative and Affordable: Being innovative both with technology used in Medical Diagnostics as well as efficient service delivery models, like the inclusive one cited above, will drive scale of volumes. The inclusive ecosystem will drive the market forces towards more affordable pricing.

There are several such examples of inclusive model generating the desired level of services at affordable price which have led the government and the private players to work more closely and deliver better results. It is about making diagnostics accessible to all.

3.

Awareness and empowerment: Increased awareness will empower people with information to take the call on preventive health check-up, leading to more Medical Diagnostics, proactive approach to health and wellness. The various stakeholders in the ecosystem like the diagnostic

4.

Value based testing: increasing shift in the approach to disease based rather than a technology-based will ensure value-based testing and how the report is given with interpretive data. Quality of tests will become more important thus driving volumes further with a patient (person) centric approach. Medical Diagnostics Lab chains, Hospital Public Health system and Medical Diagnostic corporations have helped in expanding the test menu for disease profiling, identifying early onset of clinical conditions, genetic testing for targeted treatments like cancer, diabetes, prenatal testing, early and rapid detection of infectious disease. Value based testing to drive the message of responsible testing to the consumer, which currently is not realized. As reports suggest of the 25% of population having some sort of access to healthcare will grow further with better understanding of the distinguished value

5.

Make way to Pay: Creating traceable consistent affordable finance options has been one of the biggest challenges which needs to be addressed. The public health coverage through programmes like Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana is growing. Private Health Insurance has a huge role and opportunity in driving this further. And innovative microfinance schemes leading to healthcare bonds would naturally increase coverage and affordability.

6.

Deploy and Upskill Human resources: The diagnostics industry in India has created approximately 0.4 million direct & indirect jobs each. While increasing accessibility and affordability, the industry has also helped address one more core objective of national development, i.e. job creation and skilling. The Indian medical diagnostics industry employs around 1 to 1.5 million people, with an average of 15 jobs created between direct and indirect. Niche skill development, critical roles and responsibilities assessment, continuous knowledge enhancement, job creation and additions to the workforce will enable the industry to serve communities better.

With India accounting for only 1 to 1.5 % of medical diagnostics industry globally, there is a huge scope to increase coverage and access that would have a positive impact on the overall healthcare delivery system leading to a healthier population. During the COVID-19 pandemic early understanding of the epidemiology, deploying appropriate testing strategy and rapid ramping up of facilities to provide diagnostics and care in a short span of few months has shown that where there is a will there is a way. Now is the time that all right forces are deployed by stakeholders in this framework to work in a concerted way to bring a change towards advancement and play an important role in the health and economic well-being of the country. These winds of change would further enable us to set the sail to charter a new course in Medical Diagnostics in India.

RUBY HALL CLINIC

Leading on the COVID-19 Frontline

DR. MANISHA KARMARKAR COO , Ruby Hall Clinic

S

ince early 2020, the world has been grappling with the health and economic consequences of COVID-19. There are two distinct pictures of the response in health care: One is the heroism of health care workers fighting to save lives.

The other is healthcare systems pushed to the brink as the surge of COVID-19 patients necessitates the cessation of operations critical to their institutions’ financial viability. There are no easy choices. Yet critical decisions must be made. And Dr. Manisha Karmarkar, COO, Ruby Hall Clinic is someone who takes these headstrong decisions on a daily basis.

HERE’S HER TAKE ON THE JOURNEY, THE CRISIS AND BEYOND: Q: COULD YOU PLEASE ELABORATE ON YOUR ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY. HOW DOES YOUR VISION ALIGN WITH THAT OF THE HOSPITAL? A: My dream of becoming a doctor kindled at a very young age.

I grew up in a family of doctors who became my inspiration in the later years. Looking at my father and brother don the white coat every single day, I realised what an immeasurable difference they made in the lives of their patients. It is this sentiment of dedicating your life towards a cause as noble as medicine that instilled within me the motivation to push my boundaries and serve society.

Despite stepping into her new role in the midst of the global pandemic, she has become one of the healthcare industry’s primary leaders at the frontline of this fight. As the first woman COO of the 60-year-old hospital with over 4,000 employees, she ensures Ruby Hall Clinic consistently ranks among the very best in India.

As an anaesthetist, I realised that the clinical aspects of performing surgeries are straight forward, requiring skill, dedication and the precision of a stopwatch. But the leadership task is exceedingly complex. Fortunately, having mastered the art of patient care, I took the opportunity to understand the nuances of healthcare management and shattered glass ceilings to eventually lead the hospital. I strongly believe it is this vision to better patient health and the healthcare ecosystem as a whole that is in alignment with the futuristic path Ruby Hall Clinic is on.

When COVID-19 struck, Dr. Karmarkar was one of the first in the city to propose radical changes that would not only safeguard patient health but also help reduce the risk of viral transmission. While dealing with the crisis, she has kept a steady eye on the path forward for Ruby Hall Clinic for when the pandemic abates.

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL - 2 | ISSUE 4 | MARCH 2021

it operations, infectious-disease expertise, intensive care, diagnostics or even advanced technology. Amid a crisis of such a mammoth scale, it’s only through teamwork that we will succeed and pull through.

Q: WHAT WOULD BE EXAMPLES OF AREAS WHERE YOU FELT YOU REALLY NEEDED TO INNOVATE DURING THIS CRISIS? A: We started by segregating the hospital into COVID and non-COVID zones in completely different buildings. Both facilities had independent ICUs and separate staff to ensure the continuum of care was maintained for all our patients — including those coming to us for emergency procedures and even those suffering from long-term malignancies.

By partnering with hotels in the vicinity, we were able to create COVID stations where those who tested positive could be monitored by our teams. I also had the responsibility of ensuring staff safety. It was a period of financial uncertainty and perhaps my biggest challenge was service restructuring to keep profits and expenses under control.

However, after having weathered that storm, I can say with utmost pride that both the Wanowrie and Sassoon Road hospitals were not shut for even a day. Both hospitals managed to care for all those who walked through their doors every single day.

It was during this time period that I also took up the key challenge of the systematic delivery of the COVID-19 vaccination as well as clarifying the myths shrouding it.

Now, we’re on the path to creating a COVID free country through focused vaccination drives.

Q: HOW DO YOU CONTINUE TO GROW AND DEVELOP AS A LEADER? A: I strongly believe that healthcare organisations represent a system of processes, people, and other resources that must be led effectively to achieve the desired outcome of high-quality, safe patient care. It is for this very purpose that I have always pushed myself to do more, achieve more and learn more.And I am lucky that the hospital supports these very endeavours of mine.

However, self-development is just one side of the coin.Truly effective leaders inculcate a culture of learning while endorsing growth. I consider it my duty to instil a culture of innovation and change and a spirit of teamwork amongst my team and in the hospital at large.

Q: THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS IMPACTED ONE AND ALL. AS A COO, HOW DO YOU COPE WITH A CRISIS OF THIS MAGNITUDE? A: At the onset, a healthcare emergency of this kind may be overwhelming. But it isn’t just us in India dealing with the pandemic, the world is shouldering this colossal burden. What’s important as a leader is that you’ve got to adjust — agility, flexibility, a little innovation. But I suppose what’s most important for me is presence of mind, calm communication, seizing the moment and making sure we’ve got all the pieces being attended to and the right, empowered expertise.

In a healthcare set-up such as ours, there are thousands of moving pieces that need attention every day. We have a dedicated COVID task force and a steering committee led by our very capable team.

From the get-go, in my time as COO, I tried to build a team that encompasses different areas of expertise and talent — be 27

Q: SHARE SOME WORDS OF WISDOM THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONVEY TO THE ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS AND THE READERS OF OUR MAGAZINE A: There was once a time when doctors were viewed as under-prepared for leadership roles because their selection and training led them to become “heroic lone healers.” But this is now changing. The emphasis on patient-centred care and efficiency in the delivery of clinical outcomes means that physicians are prepared for leadership.

Having chosen to defy the odds and rise to the occasion myself, I believe no dream is too far-fetched to achieve. This stretches to sectors beyond medicine as well. So don’t be afraid to dream — after all, the biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

Pune’s Ruby Hall Clinic is an 800-bedded tertiary care multi-speciality institute. Providing care backed by the futuristic technology for over six decades, the hospital has grown on to become one of India’s most recognised healthcare systems.

With 9 NABH and NABL certifications and accreditations by the Quality Council of India in Healthcare, a state-of-the-art cancer centre and Pune’s only comprehensive breast care unit, the hospital stands tall on delivering its promise of patient-focused care.

SAM VERMA : AN altruistic leader in the ever-challenging mortgage industry To grow in this segment requires strong and strategic personas with 5 key competencies: 1) Understanding regulatory compliances, 2) Decision making with an analytical approach, 3)Passion for efficiency, 4) Ability to accommodate and utilize emerging technologies and finally 5) An ability to manoeuvre through changing and unpredictable market conditions. Sam Verma, CEO of Peoples Processing Inc., is an exceptionally accomplished professional displaying and executing on all of the above skills. Peoples Processing Inc. specializes in delivering mortgage origination, servicing and title solutions. Its solutions optimize their client’s efficiency and capacity, as well as delivering high customer satisfaction while decreasing operational costs and cycle times.

INCEPTION STORY

Sam and Mridhul Prakash (Managing Director) co-founded Peoples Processing, Inc. an Austin, TX based company that provides mortgage solutions. Sam has worked in the mortgage industry for over 20 years prior to this venture. In addition to Peoples Processing, she is a board member of several financial industry ventures including Nexus Capital and Button Finance.

Mridhul’s expertise encompasses various business facets, from financial technology to business consulting and development and cross border experience with prominence in global delivery models. He was a key member of Deloitte’s technology media and telecommunications practice before moving to the financial services industry. Having worked in the industry, and through long time interactions, the pair identified the pain points of mortgage lenders and brokers in processing loan files, managing compliance and scaling operations to meet demands.

SAM VERMA | Chief Executive Officer hile the ultimate goal of a leader is to lead by example, their style is influenced by the industry sectors they work in. From routine operational challenges to adapting to unforeseen changes, a leader needs to navigate through a lot of challenges. How a leader operates in healthcare, won’t be the same as a leader in the retail industry. Among various industrial sectors, the Mortgage Industry in the US is a testing ground for several leaders. The Mortgage Industry is a significant component of the overall economy representing about 20% of the US GDP. It is influenced by global events, government regulations, and several other factors. It works using diverse programs to foster mortgage lending, construction and encouraging home-ownership.

“We had a good understanding of the process; and we believed that those processes could easily be replicated and done remotely. People can be trained over time to meet all the requirements of end-to-end mortgage fulfilment” asserts Sam. Within a few months, the company started getting licensed in select states in the US, as a contract mortgage processing company.

support entrepreneurs in general and women entrepreneurs in particular. In the US, Sam is a member of NAMMBA (National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America), which has the goal of placing 50,000 students in the Mortgage industry by 2025. She volunteers her time for this cause to bring awareness to a larger group – who are the future of the industry

Nonetheless, the focus was always on residential mortgage processing. Peoples Processing was born to address the prevailing challenges amongst lenders and brokers through tailored solutions. Several small lenders and brokers were facing huge challenges processing loans. The process was time-consuming and expensive with the end-result being unexpectedly high cycle times. Peoples Processing offered lenders and brokers the option to increase their process efficiency and cost by partnering with Peoples Processing and leveraging its global presence. Over time the company has championed several new operational strategies in residential mortgage and amassed tools and technologies to process loans faster and more accurately.

PROACTIVE TO COVID-19

An entity that can integrate ingenuity and innovation quickly while adapting to challenges will survive any uncertainties. In India, Peoples Processing took proactive steps to survive COVID and ensure business continuity. The IT and HR departments worked against time to implement its Business Continuity plan, which involved the logistics of procuring hardware and software and complex coordination between various teams. All individuals were assigned to work from home and were quickly issued computers, dual monitors and internet dongles, etc., required to continue their work effectively. The coordination was key and helped the team pull off this herculean task. The lockdown period was quite a challenge for the team, as they were stuck in a new city. Nevertheless, the executive team left no stone unturned to ensure the comfort and safety of their team members.

WELL-ORIENTED OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK

“As a company, we have always believed in ‘customer first’ as an approach”, declares Mridhul. Procuring value for customers makes a company preferable especially when there are so many companies out there vying for the attention of customers. This philosophy has supported the growth of Peoples Processing. To deliver value in every solution, they keep a focus on changes in the industry and challenges faced by customers. The company has marshalled a team of experts, whose knowledge contributes to product development and delivering to a diverse client base.

Every individual is well versed in his and her responsibilities which keeps them sensitized of their work and helps them deliver a difference.

On the business front, COVID-19 has helped them grow.

Mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels and the refinance boom started. In a way, this acted as an opportunity for Peoples Processing, as lenders needed help to process their volumes but lacked the staff and expertise. With its teams available remotely, Peoples Processing was able to take on these challenges and provide appropriate solutions to their customers.

Peoples Processing has embraced technology which it uses to monitor quality, deliver customized solutions and ensure timely internal development. In mortgage fulfilment, closing time, origination costs and compliance are very important.

Cycle times are very important as they relate to customer retention and application pull through. Compliance costs have also led to an increase in the cost to originate a mortgage. Using a partner like People Processing with proven work flows and offshore operational capability helps lenders greatly reduce cost and shorten closing times.

AN EVENTFUL BUSINESS VOYAGE

Peoples Processing has become a well-respected organization, and its excellence is underlined with notes of appreciation and positive testimonials from customers. The company celebrates ‘customer success’ based upon different milestones it helps them achieve. They are currently working on several technology developments that will be released in the near future.

TREATING EMPLOYEES LIKE CLIENTS

During her early years in the mortgage industry, Sam had the privilege of working under a strong and savvy woman CEO. ‘Mentorship’, was an ambiguous word in that era. But Sam’s boss helped her navigate through the landscape, which helped her become who she is now as a leader. Today Sam utilizes her experience to blur the boundaries of gender - and work towards a more ”equal world”.

Peoples Processing also helps title agents in processing title reports, tax reports and overall title production. Over the years its services have expanded bringing several mid to large-sized lenders on as clients . The focus has always been on ensuring faster and more reliable solutions. For the next milestone, Peoples Processing aims to bring tech-powered solutions to its customers and the industry.

Her mentorship approach has created a very inclusive work culture at Peoples Processing. At Peoples it is always ‘customers first’ and then employees. Profits and traditional company performance metrics come next as the founders believe that if customers and employees are taken care of, profits and growth will come automatically. These values keep the leaders tuned into the requirements of clients as well as employees. Team members carry a sense of responsibility and ownership of their tasks. To monitor and nurture their growth, the Company has process metrics that defines performance standards constantly and the Company celebrates top performers frequently.

The framework further motivates others to strive for better performance and be the next awardees.

Sam is focused on “paying it back” with her mentorship abilities, so that she is able to give back to society what she had received as a budding professional. She is on LinkedIn support groups to

One of the most innovative products launched recently is ‘Smart Rx paper’ for doctors, particularised in digitalizing hand-written prescriptions instantly, record clinical voice instructions of the doctors with a tick on the Smart Rx paper, and play videos with just a tick of the pen on the Smart Rx paper. The WONDRx

consumer app is another successful innovation whereas a user, patients can access multiple healthcare applications just under one roof. Conspicuous to say, the WONDRx consumer app renders enormous facilities.

PROCURING AN EDGE OVER OTHERS The company’s unique and integrated digitalization of products for doctors, consumers, and healthcare providers paves way for accumulating the entire healthcare ecosystem under one platform. This gives them a cogent and strong edge over their peers in the industry. The SMART Rx solution is a unique and pioneer innovation of this enterprise which stands out amongst hundreds of other Prescription digitization solutions in the market which force the Doctor to Type instead of Writing. The love of writing a Prescription is hard to let go but with SMART Rx paper the Doctor continues to handwrite the Prescription while digitizing the handwritten medical records thereby creating a massive Digital Prescription base.

Substantially, start-ups focus majorly on fixing diagnostics, medicines, and telemedicine but WONDRx amalgamates all these issues on a customary platform while expanding the digital reach to Doctors, Consumers, Ambulances, Pharmacies, Rehab centers, Labs, Blood Banks, Dieticians, etc. They have aggregated more than 25 categories of healthcare providers with a gross volume of more than 180 thousand Healthcare providers on the WONDRx platform which are available to conduct Digital business during any kind of lockdown.
