thank you very much I am going to talk
about today is what we call Gandhian
innovation of frugal innovation so so
this is a greetings for TEDx Ames from
All India Institute where we treat about
3.5 million patients in India every year
at the cost of one dollar per day with
the same infection rates at anywhere
else in the Western world so this is
just all india institute where we are
all sitting and and this was mentioned
as the cover story on the news week
where they said that the medical mecca’s
of the world and all india institute
featured as the top 10 medical makers of
the world so now I will ask since
what has India done well in when I asked
anyone they normally say India has done
very well in mobiles India has done very
well in IT and then they stopped I asked
him further what India has done very
well in I said India has done well in
Bollywood as since independence we
talked about 70 years ask them further
what is India done well and then they
say well India has done well in cricket
again they stopped there
what did don’t talk about what India has
done well in is in agriculture we used
to import food grains in the 60s we had
the PL 480 program the Colombo Plan
grains were being imported in this
country Jai jawan Jai Kisan was a well
we had to miss a meal in the 60s and now
the Green Revolution happened with
swaminathan and we are exporting grains
to different parts of the world that’s
where we have done well we’ve done well
in agriculture we have done well in
space we’ve done well in nuclear program
we’ve done phenomenally well in medicine
no one has to go out of this country for
any treatment everything is available in
this country
having said that cost of medical
treatment is increasing in this country
it is not available to all an emergency
medicine is the next frontier which we
really need to develop so what is the
state of the country we have lot of
problems in our country we look at bad
roads bad health indices we have bad air
pollution but we wait as Indians we have
a great ability to tolerate we tolerate
tolerate tolerate till the water reaches
our our noses and then we try to solve
the problems but the problems are still
plenty look at the health status of our
country
our infant mortality rate is 41 per
thousand compared to two in Japan two in
Sweden three in Germany seven in Chile
twelve in Brazil maternal mortality rate
is 190 compared to three in Japan four
in Sweden 69 in Brazil twenty-two in
Chile so so we are still not there yet
but our
our health indices are a huge big
problem and we have still not been able
to tackle malaria malaria leprosy
tuberculosis the infectious diseases and
the non-infectious or the non
communicable diseases have made their
Bay in a big way diabetes hypertension
coronary artery disease cancers are so
we have got a double whammy a double
burden 62 million cases of coronary
artery disease as we speak today 40
million these cases of of diabetes as we
speak so this is a huge huge big problem
in our country and and public hospitals
like ours like this one caters to 80% of
the population of the country the
private hospitals are there but they are
unregulated and they have been
responsible for putting India on the map
in terms of the medical tourism number
too but they are unregulated and they
lack accountability the current prime
minister is trying to improve these
public hospitals by a program called
kiya cult and that is happening and we
are seeing that now because of Health
with related expenditures about 39
million people fall below the poverty
line every year but that is a huge
problem and why does that happen because
80% of the devices all the treatments
are imported and they are available only
for a 20% of the population as we speak
much of the devices are invented in the
West thought in the West and are
deployed in the East and that is a
problem which we need to solve but this
is the grim picture but the positive
picture is that as Indians we are
genetically endowed for innovation we
have something in us ourselves that we
need innovation whether it be in the
u.s. whether it be in the Europe whether
it be in Australia and in India whether
it be to God innovation whether it be
frugal innovation we are genetically
endowed the second important point is
we have the ability of not to waste
we are frugal in our mindset and I feel
there is a limited time for our
generation really to utilize the
strength of not to waste with the
internet with the mobiles we are became
becoming global citizens and we are
learning to waste and throw we still
need to keep that strength of ours with
us not to waste remain frugal and and
that is what is important the government
is also also now realizing the relevance
of this industry of innovation and as
physicians in India we see the maximum
number of patients and have the maximum
experience than anywhere else in the
world so so I come back to that point we
have so many problems we wait we wait a
lot however when we solve these problems
we solve them cheaper better faster and
in a scalable manner and I’ll give you
examples of that look at our struggle
for independence cheap fast scalable
copied by other countries South Africa
rest of the world looks at it a great
example look at our food grain crisis I
just mentioned about our Green
Revolution our white revolution you have
Swaminathan you have people like Korean
who started the white revolution you
have the space program and we have
examples of Sarabhai MGK men and Kasturi
Rangan our nuclear program we have
rather a menage-a-trois Baba who have
really made ourselves proud and have
made ourselves have a standing of this
country in the world in a huge big way
we are launching satellites for at least
eight different countries in the world
including Canada and also some for the
u.s. of a polio eradication program
harshwardhan that has been a great
example of what has happened in India
mass transport there Delhi Metro we can
do it we have done it our resident
banking system from Reserve Bank of
India to the State Bank of India use
you you can see it everywhere in the
country
our mobile networks from hotel to air
cell or whatever you name it our
government schemes the National Rural
Health Mission parish first be my
Eugenia and and and and many of these
schemes are coming up not only for
healthcare but in every sphere and many
of them are really working well we can’t
realize the impact that they have
sitting in this room but they do have a
tremendous impact Bollywood
I don’t want to give examples the list
will be very long okay generic drugs we
have we have Hamid who started the sip
la he worked with sir Lord Todd the
Nobel Prize winner who synthesized the
Whitman b12 molecule in 1958 he came
back started supply and everyone knows
Kiran Muslims are shown the Bioeconomy
so can we think of generic medical
devices taught in India made in India we
have we have done a revolution as far as
generic drugs have concerned but for
medical devices is the next frontier and
I think in the next 10 years we need to
innovate in that sphere in a huge big
way so this is a slide just explaining
how in the last 40 years innovation has
happened in every fair sphere in the
world
earlier it was clearly imported
innovation ideas were from the West
manufacturing was done in the West and
everything was sold in countries like
India China and India and in the East
1990 onwards with examples from China
and Taiwan this found what is called
export led innovation where ideas were
from the West manufacturing was done in
China and Taiwan and then it was again
exported back to countries like USA and
Europe and deployed there 2000 onwards
we saw examples of end-to-end innovation
where local innovation where ideas were
from the East manufacturing was done in
the east and they were deployed in a
but 2010 onwards what we are finding is
the whole world is looking at countries
like ourselves because of our
genetically endowed mindset ideas from
both parts manufacturing together
deploying in both parts and 2020 onwards
you’re going to see more and more bulbs
share mathematics look at the numbers
any I mean anyone would save 2% of the
population or 4% of the population is
going to be a brilliant innovator so the
numbers are there so here I want to
emphasize on one one important point and
that is about the edisonian innovation
versus Gandhian innovation edison used
to say anything that won’t sell I don’t
want to invent its sale is proof of
utility and utility is success while
Gandhi says there is everyman earth
provides enough to satisfy every man’s
need but not every man’s great so the
idea of patenting started in the late
eighteen eighteen sixty arena and early
19th century and Edison was the really
the king of patenting everything he had
I mean he could patent anything the
first Indian patent was done by anyone
knows who patented the first first
Indian pattern interesting I’ll just
tell you the story just it’s out of the
context Brad I just stated first Indian
patent was done in 1904 and it was done
what he did when he had gone to the
Chicago World Congress of religions he
carried the papers of our tradition boss
who did not patent anything earlier
Marconi patent to the radio technician
was invented but then he had more ideas
he carried the papers of their decision
both to Chicago and patented those in
the u.s. so that was the first patent
filed by Indians in 1904 and so that’s
that’s just to put things in perspective
but in India we have to keep a balance
between edisonian
and Gandhian innovation we as the
youngsters are trying to copy the
Americans in an Uzbek way but we need to
remain grounded and keep a balance
between Edison and Gandhi because our
paradigm is social inclusion
affordability availability and
accessibility so to ensure that it has
to be a thin line between Edison and
Gandhi
now we talked about Indians being
intelligent and being genetically and
out now this is a slide showing when the
Starbucks store opened in Bombay people
wanted to have the American coffee so
there was a huge queue for and it was a
few few weeks that people had to wait to
get into the Starbucks store to get
coffee
this gentleman realized the potential
and he started selling masala chai
he made his started selling masala chai
to the people waiting in queue and and
he made his money in these few weeks and
then went on to some other idea so that
is why I say that we are genetically
endowed to think of new ideas and do
what is called jugaad innovation so
beyond masala chai we have been frugal
and that is another point genetically
endowed and not to waste and be frugal
our mongolian the Mars mission costed
eight rupees per kilometer while the
gravity
movie made by Hollywood costed 63 I
don’t I mean so many million rupees per
minute so that is where we need to
remember and be conscious about so
frugal innovation does not mean cheap
innovation it should not be confined
with cheap it is high quality yet low
cost and that is what we are talking
about if you look at the frugal
innovation that happened in India and
the healthcare in in the last 10 years
six of them have been related to
healthcare and this is the GE ECG
machine costing ten thousand rupees
manufactured in India disruptive or
reverse innovation done by GE in India
using the Indian brains the one two nine
eight ambulance service in Bombay or
when the hospital making the lens
implant intraocular lens implant costing
three dollars which has been done at our
when the hospital being exported to
several parts of the world the swatch
water filter by Tata using rice husk
using rice husk as a filter that was an
idea and it’s working well market it
Narayan hurt dolly they have taken a cue
from all india institute the assembly
nine for cardiac surgery at this moment
we have tenth cardiac surgery of
theatres each one doing three open-heart
surgeries so thirty surgeries being done
every day at all india institute
cost-effective similar thing was
increased by daily Shetty and started in
around Havana and we all know about the
Jaipur prosthetics in the Jaipur foot so
just an example of how 28% of the US
market has been captured by Indian
generics today how it started
SIB la we the triple therapy for AIDS
HIV AIDS costed ten thousand dollars at
the time it started in 2001 when the
three drugs started for HIV AIDS the
Indian companies Cigna came up with the
product and everyone brought their
prices and five years later it $132
treatment for HIV AIDS
triple drug therapy
and it is available to the entire
population we miss the AIDS epidemic
same has happened for vaccines same has
happened for anti hepatitis drugs people
come from Australia carry suitcases full
of anti hepatitis drugs carry them back
because they’re so inexpensive so she
can we repeat the same for medical
devices again another example of
spontaneous and jugaad innovation this
is just outside one of the roads where
there is a small cross road where people
come to feed feed the pigeons and buy
and get their grains from the home
this gentleman realized the potential of
the market he started selling those
grapes people come they buy they throw
the cards and at the end of the day we
switch that place clean recirculates
those grains and again this is this is
what is our mindset we need not to lose
that that is important so in India now
the talent is there the opportunity is
there the competitiveness is there
funding is also available we have the
global mindset the policy is also from
the government is for pro innovation and
we started up we feel that inventing can
be taught personal creativity can be
stimulated undisciplined highly
innovative thought process can be
systematically challenged and produce
problem-solving concepts and they could
be innovations so we started the school
of international bio design right here
at All India Institute in collaboration
with the IIT Delhi it stands up I think
you started before give me a minute more
okay so so we we have a philosophy is
global affordable need driven health
innovation that is Gandhi and we have
been able to have 300 innovators in the
last 10 years with 10 startups and and
and several medical devices which have
which have reached the market have got
us FDA approval have got approval by the
and are now in the Indian market
examples for collecting urine you have
catheters everyone knows that but for
collecting stool there is nothing
available in the world except diapers
yeah adult diapers so what we developed
was a nitinol based self expanding
device which can be inserted by the
family member or the healthcare worker
and can connect semi-solid and semi form
stool in a bag like a catheter this has
got US FDA approval it’s used in 67
hospital in the US and about 68
hospitals in India as we speak and this
is this was conceived at all india
institute developed at all india
institute tested at all india institute
and the new company was formed by the
innovators called con shah and now it is
being marketed as well another 15
million road traffic accidents happen in
in in India of every year five million
are lower limb fractures nothing is
available on the roadside for fractures
simple device like a cricket pad made
out of cardboard coated with a special
plastic can be placed at the site of
accident you can do an x-ray with it you
can do a CT scan with it remove it at
the operation theater and throw it off
cost about less than hundred rupees
patience of shock emergency trauma if
you can’t find the way in 45 seconds the
recommendations are that you go for the
upper extremity upper bone of the of the
bone of the leg yeah and this is a
device which is based on the principle
that the Carpenters use like for
drilling a hole with a with a book a
mechanical device for drilling a hole in
the wood we have developed the same
principle and are able to give fluid
into the bones of the long bones and
fluid can be kept medicines can be kept
for up to 12 hours till we find a
suitable vein in all emergency shock
trauma patients this is now been
can we go for them can go forward yeah
this is a biopsy device where a sample
is collected it has lot of it has a
safety mechanism all electronic sensors
in it if you open this up there are
about 100 circuits in it and this is a
simple device for a breast liver kidney
biopsy and will be available for
probably by the time you do your
post-graduation
to do the biopsies this is a once first
foot operated neonatal resuscitator for
for the asha workers and now is being
used in about 13 hospitals in India and
is ultimately going to be taken up by
the Rural Health Mission this is a
contemporary resuscitate in machine
which is for cardiac arrest patients as
you now the recommendations are that you
need to do cardiac massage for at least
45 minutes before declaring the patient
dead early the recommendation of the 15
minutes but we have found that we have
been able to save some people so up to
45 minutes and after one minute the
effectiveness of a cardiopulmonary
resuscitation Falls by about 60 70
percent and we often change our so this
device is it can take care of that so I
think just so in India the show starts
in 2025 but the tickets are being sold
now for healthcare innovation and as a
nation to succeed I think no time better
than now and we need to innovate and
think think global think low-cost think
of our masses and try to achieve we have
we all genetically and out we can all do
it all the best to you [Applause]
about today is what we call Gandhian
innovation of frugal innovation so so
this is a greetings for TEDx Ames from
All India Institute where we treat about
3.5 million patients in India every year
at the cost of one dollar per day with
the same infection rates at anywhere
else in the Western world so this is
just all india institute where we are
all sitting and and this was mentioned
as the cover story on the news week
where they said that the medical mecca’s
of the world and all india institute
featured as the top 10 medical makers of
the world so now I will ask since
what has India done well in when I asked

again they stopped there
what did don’t talk about what India has
done well in is in agriculture we used
to import food grains in the 60s we had
the PL 480 program the Colombo Plan
grains were being imported in this
country Jai jawan Jai Kisan was a well
we had to miss a meal in the 60s and now
the Green Revolution happened with
swaminathan and we are exporting grains
to different parts of the world that’s
where we have done well we’ve done well

to tackle malaria malaria leprosy
tuberculosis the infectious diseases and
the non-infectious or the non

coronary artery disease cancers are so
we have got a double whammy a double

in our country and and public hospitals

Swaminathan you have people like Korean
who started the white revolution you
have the space program and we have
examples of Sarabhai MGK men and Kasturi
Rangan our nuclear program we have
rather a menage-a-trois Baba who have
really made ourselves proud and have
made ourselves have a standing of this
country in the world in a huge big way
we are launching satellites for at least
eight different countries in the world
including Canada and also some for the
u.s. of a polio eradication program
harshwardhan that has been a great
example of what has happened in India
mass transport there Delhi Metro we can
do it we have done it our resident
banking system from Reserve Bank of
India to the State Bank of India use
you you can see it everywhere in the
country
our mobile networks from hotel to air
cell or whatever you name it our

of them are really working well we can’t
realize the impact that they have
sitting in this room but they do have a
tremendous impact Bollywood
I don’t want to give examples the list
will be very long okay generic drugs we
have we have Hamid who started the sip
la he worked with sir Lord Todd the
Nobel Prize winner who synthesized the
Whitman b12 molecule in 1958 he came
back started supply and everyone knows

being marketed as well another 15
million road traffic accidents happen in
in in India of every year five million
are lower limb fractures nothing is
available on the roadside for fractures
simple device like a cricket pad made
out of cardboard coated with a special
plastic can be placed at the site of
accident you can do an x-ray with it you
can do a CT scan with it remove it at
the operation theater and throw it off
cost about less than hundred rupees
patience of shock emergency trauma if
you can’t find the way in 45 seconds the
recommendations are that you go for the
upper extremity upper bone of the of the
bone of the leg yeah and this is a
device which is based on the principle
that the Carpenters use like for
drilling a hole with a with a book a
mechanical device for drilling a hole in
the wood we have developed the same
principle and are able to give fluid
into the bones of the long bones and
fluid can be kept medicines can be kept
for up to 12 hours till we find a
suitable vein in all emergency shock
trauma patients this is now been
can we go for them can go forward yeah
this is a biopsy device where a sample
is collected it has lot of it has a
safety mechanism all electronic sensors
in it if you open this up there are
about 100 circuits in it and this is a
simple device for a breast liver kidney
biopsy and will be available for
probably by the time you do your
post-graduation
to do the biopsies this is a once first
foot operated neonatal resuscitator for
for the asha workers and now is being
used in about 13 hospitals in India and
is ultimately going to be taken up by
the Rural Health Mission this is a
contemporary resuscitate in machine
which is for cardiac arrest patients as
you now the recommendations are that you
need to do cardiac massage for at least
45 minutes before declaring the patient
dead early the recommendation of the 15
minutes but we have found that we have
been able to save some people so up to
45 minutes and after one minute the
effectiveness of a cardiopulmonary
resuscitation Falls by about 60 70
percent and we often change our so this
device is it can take care of that so I
think just so in India the show starts
in 2025 but the tickets are being sold
now for healthcare innovation and as a
nation to succeed I think no time better
than now and we need to innovate and
think think global think low-cost think
of our masses and try to achieve we have
we all genetically and out we can all do
it all the best to you [Applause]
