Forus & Hippocampus: Startups that have Revolutionized Healthcare & Primary Education

India has huge population, providing Primary Education and Healthcare at affordable cost is mirage even to Governments. Education is becoming costlier day by day and Healthcare at super specialty hospitals is like reaching to stars for masses of this country.
When these two issues couldn't be addressed by Govt as well as NGOs with right direction.
Indian Youth have come up with a business model through startups to address Educational & Healthcare needs of masses. Two such startups are Hippocampus and Forus both started operation from city of Bangalore in Karnataka.

Hippocampus Learning Centres:

It is a brainchild of Ex-Infosys techie Mr. Umesh Malhotra, an IIT-Madras graduate. Umesh who was in team of Infosys which got listed in NASDAQ in year 1999, quit Infosys to venture into his own IT company called Bangalore Labs, which he sold to an IT services company called Planet One Asia in 2002.
He later inclined towards Education sector and initiated activities of procuring Library books for the children of needy sections of the society. While working on this social cause of giving access to knowledge, Umesh realized the cons faced by Educational sector of our Nation. Thus initiated a new venture of reaching out to masses to provide Head-Start to kids of underprivileged rural sections of India by providing quality Pre-School Education of Three Years. Thus the 'Hippocampus Learning Centres' came into play in Mandya District and Davanagere districts of Karnataka in year 2011.

Today Hippocampus has expanded across the states of Karnataka and Maharashtra with 285 and 12 centres respectively.    
When the Govt. run Anganvadi schools are struggling to compete with posh upmarket infrastructure based schools, Hippocampus is providing affordable pre-schooling in rural sections of our nation. Most importantly it is not a charity show but a business model that has provided Job opportunities to young teachers and knowledge to rural kids.
Let more and more Umesh Malhotras' flourish and cherish on our Mother Earth.

Forus Healthcare

The whooping cost of medical care in India is a nightmare to rural masses. Providing free healthcare is still mirage to Govt. In such a context, Forus Healthcare has come up with innovative products in the field of Ophthalmology, so that Eye-Testing cost is drastically reduced and also the travel time involved in rural masses visiting city hospitals is eliminated with use of Portable Eye testing equipment called Tri-Netra (Meaning: THREE-EYES).

Forus Healthcare started in year 2010 is brainchild of Dr. Shyam Vasudeva Rao, an Engineer and Academician who later took up the roles of an entrepreneur to cater to the needs of needy sections of society in health care. Today 25 countries are using Forus Eye scanner and in India masses in villages which lack roads to commute are being provided treatment by using these Portable Eye-Scanners. Most importantly a driver who carries this Tri-Netra eye scanner to rural places himself can operate it and send reports to a doctor sitting in city head Quarters.

Priyadarshini- A Five year kid makes Karnataka proud in skating

A Five Year old girl Priyadarshini Hiremat from Karwar has made a remarkable record in Limbo Skating by crossing 40 bars placed at an height of 6.5 feet by crossing them in reverse direction and was blind folded for the entire event. Priyadarshini has proved that she is Born to Win... (Watch Video here).

A New Record in Limbo Skating By a Five Year Kid From Karnataka: Prajavani Picture

This story reminded me of recent incidence of a girl by name Kaveri being drowned to death within a newly laid Bore-well, which tells ours is a country of conflicting-society, where time and again we fail to safe guard life of small kids through our apathetic social behaviours and actions and at the same time we have parents who guide their kids to pinnacle of glory in their field of interest. If our society behaves with little more concern towards saving valuable lives of this motherland, We can nurture millions of Priyadarshinis who can bring Laurel to both country and parents.
