Jignesh Patel has 14+ years of leadership experience in Business Development, Channel Sales, Sales & Marketing Strategy. For a major part of it, he was associated with India’s largest automobile manufacturer; Maruti Suzuki India Limited, driving sales & operation for the western zone of one of the Maruti Suzuki’s division. Even when his corporate career was going from strength to strength, his passion lay in becoming a social entrepreneur. He wanted to be a change maker in the field of healthcare, a dream that lay hold of his heart for nearly 8 years. In 2018, he could take the brave step of leaving his cushy job at Maruti Suzuki that earned him a remuneration of more than INR 2 mn to join The Foundation for Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship (CfHE) at IIT Hyderabad. The 1 Year Research based Residential program (based at IIT Hyderabad campus) helped him to understand healthcare sector from close quarters and identify various issues faced by diverse stakeholders primarily from patient/society perspective. The research of 1 year at IIT Hyderabad helped him in understanding the on-ground bottlenecks of the Vaccination Delivery model in India (and also in various developing nations around the world). He envisages an organized and customized Vaccination Service for India as an answer to the issue by introducing India’s 1st Doctor based Mobile Vaccination Clinic in 2019 – VaccineOnWheels as part of 1st division of Jivika Healthcare. The model involves a customized vaccination service to take Mobile Vaccination Clinic facility on the wheel’s community level focusing on reaching the unreached within urban and rural parts of India.
