When I look at the euphoria in the markets, I am left wondering what people are expecting from the now-inevitable ‘Modi Sarkar’.

As a participant in the Dr Mentoring Program (DMP) four years ago, I can say with confidence that the program has been instrumental in shaping my approach towards managing operating cash flow and developing strategies for becoming a successful doctor entrepreneur.
Under the guidance of Mr. Sanjeev Pandiya, a seasoned ex-CFO of many listed companies like SRF, Jindal Steel, and Haulonix, the program provided us with invaluable insights into the financial aspects of running a medical practice. From understanding the basics of accounting and financial statements to learning about cash flow management, the program covered all the essential concepts required to successfully run a medical practice.
Moreover, Mr. Pandiya’s expertise and guidance helped us develop a strategic mindset to approach our profession as entrepreneurs. We were taught how to think outside the box and innovate to create unique offerings and build a brand that sets us apart from the competition.
Overall, I can confidently say that the DMP has had a profound impact on my professional growth as a doctor entrepreneur. The program’s emphasis on financial management and strategic thinking has equipped me with the tools to build a successful and sustainable medical practice. I would highly recommend this program to any doctor looking to enhance their entrepreneurial skills and take their practice to the next level.
Regards,
Dr Yatin Shinde
