Our third Medtronic engineer, Adam, joined us early on Sunday in Hyderabad. The morning was filled with breakfast, conversation, and bringing Adam up to speed. After official planning in the morning, the team split up to have a relaxing Sunday. Shruthi and Dhananjay visited family while Erin, Maddie, Kesevan, and Adam left to visit a famous museum.
Shruthi
visited her aunt and uncle in Hyderabad and Jay went home to Indore where he
also met with Atul Sethi, the Managing Director of Shree Pacetronix Pvt
Ltd. Mr. Sethi shared some great insights about the Indian healthcare system
and the medtech industry in general, apart from the pacemakers space. Shree
Pacetronix is one among a handful of medtech companies in India that are doing well.
Mr. Sethi’s father is a cardiologist in the US and they, together 20 years ago,
decided to enter this industry and make pacemakers available to the middle
class Indian at an affordable cost and yet good quality.
Erin,
Maddie, Kesavan and Adam spent their day looking at artwork in the Salarjung
museum and doing some shopping. Kesavan, in particular, was very interested in
Raja Ravi Verma’s paintings since he himself was an artist. You can check out
Kesavan’s work here: http://www.kesavanpotti.com/

Excited
to get some Indian clothes, the girls steered the group to MG Road to buy
authentic Indian clothes but unfortunately, most of the shops were closed
because of the festival of ‘Janmasthmi’ (Lord Krishna’s birthday). Overall,
Sunday was relaxing and helped the team recover from the hectic week.
