We are in the process of developing hospital and major medical clinics in India.  We are looking for NRI doctors to collaborate with us on the medicine part of the project.  We are looking for:

1)  Affiliations with U.S. and U.K. healthcare providers;

2)  Landowners wishing to have us develop medical operations on their sites in India; and

3)  Physicians and healthcare providers interested in collaborating with us on these projects.

Our first sites are in Arakkonam; Hyderabad; Lucknow; Nagpur; and Kochi.

Last night I shared cocktails at a “Leadership Weekend,” hosted by the Chairman of Saks Fifth Avenue.  It was lovely!  But to get there I had to walk New York’s crowded Christmas shopper filled streets for 45 minutes both coming and going.  Today I could not move from my bed I was so stiff!

Asked the “meaning of life,” Joseph Campbell once remarked, “There is no meaning of life; only  the experience of life.”  Seeing a homeless man at Penn Station in New York this morning, wearing a grimy “Hustler” T-shirt, I realized that, for him, a worthy Christmas present would be just to see a naked woman once more before he dies.   His dreams are not so different from mine, though my probability of success is much higher.  Still, before we were conceived, it wasn’t necessarily so.   We are both Champions; sons of creatures spontaneously animated more than a billion years ago.  We are sons of Eros and mothers driven by that defining jolt!  Within a  blink of time, we’ll both add our energy to the Universe at the speed of light—E=mc² –the petty distinctions of our lives so trivial as to be meaningless.

I recall reading Stephen Ambrose’s Eisenhower while isolated a long way from home, in Tokyo.  It dawned on me then that the problems Eisenhower faced, as Commander of Allied Forces landing in North Africa, were not so different from the problems I was confronting four decades later.  Today, as I confront a financial crisis, comparing my issues to those of our President-Elect conjures a distinction without a difference.  The same applies to the man in the T-shirt.  Though Barack Obama may solve his problems more effectively, who will care in a century?  Though Americans often look blankly at a $10 bill, few could identify the hero without the cue of his name printed there.  And why is he there, rather than Ronald Reagan?  Whisper who dares!

Every time I get on the move again, I find myself humming “Wandrin’ Star,” and contemplating the lyric “Searching, but for what? I never will know!”  But, that’s the point, isn’t it?  That animating spark of our existence started the search, which continues in all of us.  Do you feel it?

In 1994, I was one of the first movers in the Indian BPO industry.  Through my company, Transcriptions International, Inc., I began the Indian Medical Transcription Industry.  Additionally, we started the first private contract call center in India, as well as starting businesses in medical billing, legal transcription, telecommunications and accounting.  We operated the largest private data circuit of any company in the World into India during 1994-95, before the commercial Internet really got started.  I was instrumental in starting Nittany Decision Services (Chennai) and Seaview Support Systems (Trivandrum), both of which went on to success. 

In 1998, two Indian partners joined me, and the medical transcription business became CBay Systems, Ltd.  I gave lectures in 4 Indian cities about the business, and within 18 months NASSCOM reported that 640 companies had attempted to copy our model.  Of those, about 500 companies went out of business, because they failed to understand how to access the business in the USA.  Of those remaining, most achieved a moderate living by selling to the doctor’s offices of their brothers, uncles, and cousins in the USA, but few built large businesses supporting American hospitals.  All of the companies that succeeded copied my leadership.  CBay became a public company and the largest company in the industry of 1,500 companies, with 38 production centers in India, 1 in Oman, 1 in Bhutan, and 650 clients in the USA and Saudi Arabia. 

The key to our breakthrough was that we melded the Indian passion for success with non-Indian marketing, customer service and business development leaders in the USA.  My non-compete with CBay is now finished and I am ready for a new challenge to do this again.  I would welcome hearing from any company that aspires to achieve this level of breakthrough success.
