In part 1, Viren talked about healthcare in India – something he described as an “assembly line.” \n\nIf you remember listening to it, you’ll know that Viren has both intricate knowledge and undeniable intuition about the healthcare landscape in India. We discussed Viren’s ambitions to fix healthcare in India and where Narayana Health is headed. \n\nThat led us to why Viren holds this mission so close to his heart, in this second part of our conversation.\n\nWhat led him to healthcare? What drives him to wake up and do this, day after day? In our opening, you heard about Viren’s innate pattern recognition superpower, which is very different from his father Dr. DeviShetty’s.\n\nSo, how did he build this intuition? And how does he use it to run a vast hospital network?\n\nViren answers all of these questions with stories from his life, career and even from the hospitals where he grew up. \n\nThis is episode 37 of First Principles—The Ken’s weekly leadership podcast.\n\nP.S.
