Parulekar Healthcare Private Limited was established by Dr. Vishwas D Parulekar and Dr (Mrs) Vishakha Parulekar in 2004. They started with a nursing home, Parulekar Hospital, in an independent building in Airoli, Navi Mumbai. He started by believing that goodwill building is paramount. He was strong of the view that having fewer profits and more goodwill should always be welcomed than the other way round.
ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY
Being a gynecologist and infertility specialist himself, Dr. Vishwas Parulekar was keen to start a state-of-the-art IVF and laparoscopy centre. He conceptualized it, started work on it, and finally got it completed and fully functional in 2010. This was the first IVF centre in a private nursing home in the entire city of Navi Mumbai. The response to Parulekar Hospital was tremendous and as a result, the hospital had to be expanded to accommodate 20 beds although it had started as a 10-bedded nursing home.
“To become successful in the healthcare industry, it is important, just like in any other industry, to develop your own team, train them well, delegate work, and inspire teamwork. But unlike other industries, financial gains alone should not be aimed at” – Dr. Vishwas Parulekar
