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.

Today Forus has grown as 13 Billion company.Visit Forus Healthcare here...

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.

GOOGLE's DOODLE Respect to Dr.Rajkumar

Dr. Rajkumar aka Mutturaj is undisputed Thespian of Kannada film industry and Karnataka. A personality that has imbibed simplicity and values to core. A matinee Idol who did not misused Fan following to reap Political mileage, which is an aberration  from other contemporary stars of his period who hijacked their 'Heroism-Image' on screen to gain political powers. A person who maintained same physic throughout his career is amazing, to be precise his son Mr.Puneet Rajkumar has recently revealed in an interview that Dr. Raj maintained 32 waist size throughout his career of 50 years read more.... An icon who practised YOGA rigorously, A Matinee Idol who was not only an actor but fabulous singer! Moreover He was a person known for simplicity who never looked into monetary aspects of acting and never exhibited stardom or superstar ego that celebrities are known to possess with them.

Yes, any one who possess talent becomes celebrity obviously and India is known for celebrity worship, But this star of Kannada and Karnataka addressed his fans as "ABHIMANI DEVARUGALU" (GOD in form of  FAN ) should be remembered on his Birth anniversary (April 24th) for his SIMPLICITY and Google has shown its respect to this icon through its DOODLE is a meaningful and we Kannadigas are overwhelmed by this gesture. read more.....

Dr Rajkumar Doodle on ೨೪th april ೨೦೧೭

Coming back to simplicity that this Thespian possessed within him I have to narrate few incidences so that younger generation also can understand What kind of Personality Dr. Raj was?!

My school days friend by Preetam Gubbi, narrated this incidence to me, Once Preetam had visited Dr. Rajkumar's residence with his uncle who was a I.A.S officer. Believe me or not Dr. Raj who was at its peak of success as Superstar of Karnataka had not only welcomed the guests from gate to hall but for the entire period of their stay at his residence was Standing beside their sofa to serve the guests. But also had made a remark that "It's his honour to receive and serve a person who is highly educated!" This is an incidence which millions of Kannadigas have experienced while interacting with Dr. Raj.

The other incidence was Dr. Raj never use to carry big wallet or huge some of money with him, He had once lost his watch in a big crowd of fans also. This is an incidence I read in one of his biographies, Once Dr. Raj and his brother Mr.Vardanna were travelling in car and in a signal a street side beggar asked for money. Dr Raj asked his brother Vardanna to donate money and Vardanna handed over 500 I.N.R note, Dr. Raj was having an impression he had handed over only 100 Rupees and should have donated more, When Vardanna told him he donated 500 Rupees Dr. Raj was surprised as he was not aware that RBI had released Rs. 500 currency in India! He with an element of astonishment took another currency from his brother to realize How 500 rupees currency looks like!
Yes, He was an actor and singer to core and was detached from rest of the aspects which revolves around celebrity stars of Today. It's an honour to Google India also for releasing Doodle of such an amazing Human Being.

Not Racism But Casteism Country!

Mr. Tarun Vijay of B.J.P, tries to claim India is not Racist by passing remarks that WHITE ARYANS have accepted BLACK DRAVIDIANS read more read more.... But the ugly picture is India is a country that is ruined and ruled on the basis of CASTE. Give me one single instance of our political parties giving B-FORM for elections which is not based on CASTE!

Day before yesterday a Dalit Bridegroom was attacked by so called Upper Class hooligans for carrying out wedding procession on a Horse in Haryana read more.... We discriminate People on the basis of Food they consume, which is the most ugliest aspect for any civilisation. 

Indian marriages are done on the basis of caste even today many Dalits were beaten up in BJP ruled states of Gujrat and Rajasthan.

To claim we believe in universal brotherhood through Sanskrit quotes of Vasudaiva Kutumbakam and practising Casteism in every walks of life is the hypocrisy of Indian society.

Is this not racism?

Here are Instances of Casteism which is deeply rooted in our blood:

• Electing C.M, P.M is not completely free from caste factor
• MP seats, MLA seats are distributed based on caste
• Vegetarian food habit is considered as Highest class society
• In Non-Vegetarian food takers BEEF eaters are treated as Anti-nationalists
• Every Hindu caste and sub caste has a separate mutt/pontiff
• All Hindus are not given same treatment in Temples of worship while offering food
• Indian Matrimony sites talk about Caste based search preferences!
• Worshipping One sect of God is intolerable to other sect 
• We call Ourselves UNITY IN DIVERSITY country in wrapper, But It is Caste and religion based Divided society 
• HINDI is considered as National language while other languages are not?!

Finally How can Tarun Vijay declare India as RACISM FREE nation is million rupees question!?

Bangalore Cheapest City of INDIA to Lead Happy Life

Bangalore has one more feather in its cap. After being adjudged as one of the Clean City in India by Swacch Bharat Mission, Next it was adjudged as VIBRANT ASIAN city by world organizations. Now City has one more distinction as CHEAPEST CITY IN INDIA or Third Cheapest city in world. Three more cities to take place in top ten list of cheapest cities are Chennai in 6th place, Mumbai at 7th place and New Delhi at 10th place respectively.

Affordable market on  streets 

The survey by Economic Intelligence Unit (E.I.U) read more is carried out by considering various commodities prices like food, drink,clothing, groceries, home rent, transport, private schools,domestic help, recreational services and many more services and products which amount to 160 in count.    

redefining Bangalore transport system -Metro Train

In my opinion the availability of daily needs, basic needs and recreational services in wide array of choice ranging from needs of a daily wages earner to upmarket techie/management professionals and business tycoons makes Bangalore most affordable place.

Tasty Mobile  canteens  of  Bangalore 

• A decade ago friends from Chennai used to complain about HOME RENTS and Real estate costs in Bengaluru, But today given its uniform landscape, Today All segments of society can afford to purchase or lease or rent a living place.

• Further availability of Multi-cuisine food chains at street side tasty vendors to five star hotels makes FOOD not a problem for any demographics human being in our city. Darshini Chain of hotels to Halli-Mane, Non-Vegetarian hotels, MCDonalds, DOMINO PIZZA, KFC, FIVE STAR CHICKEN centres to GOLI VadaPav centres galore in city   

• 'NAMMA METRO' which is getting operational completely by APRIL-2017 should reduce the Transportation woes of city which is often blamed as "TRAFFIC-JAM/CHOKE"city by outsiders.
• Citizens of Bengaluru have quickly adopted to OLA CABS/UBER CAB type of public transport services too which is one more factor that can help commuters to use less private vehicles
• Home needs are available to all sections of  society like BIG FOOD BAZAARS to small Buy N Save shops to shopkeepers and street hawkers, the city has offers to every one
• Recreation in Multiplex Malls or Small single screen theatres are available at various prices.
• Hospitals range from super speciality to govt hospitals and many mid segment Nursing homes galore in city, You want Television services from Branded DISH TV Providers or local cable operators you have dime-dozen providers 

All in all, You do Cashless Business using CARDS or PAY-TM, RECHARGE or buy through Hard cash Bangalore affords services to all sections of society. Hope Bangalore Remains Cheapest City with better services in future too...
