Making Healthcare a Right, Not a Privilege | Dr. Shuchin Bajaj on Maximum Purpose, Maximum Profit

Dr. Shuchin Bajaj, Founder Director of Ujala Cygnus, shares the powerful mission behind his healthcare network: to ensure that no one is denied quality medical care due to financial, geographic, or social barriers.

At Ujala Cygnus Kashmir, turning away a patient for financial reasons is a fireable offense, a testament to the organisation’s unwavering commitment to healthcare equity.

Dr. Bajaj dives into their cross-subsidy model, which enables the hospital to sustain a high-cost, low-volume approach while delivering affordable, high-quality care, even in underserved regions like Kashmir and India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

He also shares how his purpose-driven leadership fuels efforts to attract and retain top medical talent in regions that are often overlooked and why true impact lies not in scale alone, but in deep, personal commitment to the people being served.
