A doctor by training, a man of of many parts, and a healthcare entrepreneur with indefatigable energy and belief, Dr Shuchin Bajaj, as Founder Director, has been instrumental in the entire journey of Ujala Cygnus from its inception and from its very first avatar as Cygnus Medicare and Altius healthcare.
Driven by the missionary zeal of providing ‘equitable health care access’, Dr Bajaj stepped out of the safety of a promising career as a doctor, soon after completing his MD in internal medicine. He embarked on his entrepreneurial venture of trying to provide the highest quality of healthcare to all communities, regardless of their financial, social or geographical status – urged on by personal stories of friends and family who bore the brunt of living in healthcare-dark zones of India.
An alumnus of INSEAD, King’s College, London, IIM Calcutta, Boston University and PGIMS Rohtak, Dr Bajaj continues to serve the cause through Ujala Cygnus, and through working across the healthcare ecosystem, revitalising it beyond the well-provided Metro regions.
He is on the board of a number of prominent national NGOs as Advisor-Health Programmes and has played an active part in the Healthcare Track for Xynteo’s India2022 coalition as well as being part of the Helpage International’s Regional Research Initiative on Older People’s Health as the Academic partner of the International Health Working Group.
Dr. Bajaj is also an avid Healthcare Investor and is associated with multiple Health Tech Companies as investor, Board Member and mentor. He also sits on the TBIU Board of The Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) at IIT, Delhi.
