EXPERIENCE

Founder Director (ISAPL)

Medical Evacuation and worldwide Assistance

ISAPL helps a person in Medical distress or Traumatized in an alien
location, with Quick and precise medical assistance. The criticality and terrain demands Air Ambulance, with specialist doctors. For foreign nationals; the process, procedure, documents, clearances and facilities are different and do need a comprehensive approach. ISAPL combined experience of 65+ years handling foreign nationals is unique.
In the region, similar services are run by only Male Doctors. It is a man’s world. I am the only non-Medical & a Female leading an organisation. I remain unbiased on selecting the ‘suitable’ Medical team.
I had seen the disparate and disjointed sector & persons in despair. In situation of emergency, one had to coordinate with: Affected, Employer, Family, Doctors, Insurance, Hospital, Airport, Air Charter, Consulate. I decided to be wing-to-wing venture. We created a model of ‘Partnership’ with all the stakeholders with 40+ formal Agreements.
Our concept is to be more comprehensive. We are the only company to own the complete value chain of Medical Risk Coverage, Risk mitigation and Risk services to human life.

Director - Operations (Prime Air Global Pvt Ltd)

Prime Air had been providing Air Ambulance, Medical Assistance team,
Equipment and stretcher on commercial airlines. We also coordinate with
embassies and insurance companies for legal & financial support to our
clients. For the family of a deceased, we arrange Repatriation of body between cities or countries. We do arrange Funeral services

I picked the nuances of a ‘business’ and the competitive world of Medical Evacuation.
I served citizens of 23 countries in 19 months. A global community.
Defined the business processes, cookie-cutters & Commercial ways for this new Line of Business.
Generated 3 times the targeted revenue
My brand was reckoned.

BALANCE BETWEEN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE AND WORKING LIFE

For me: “I work on LIFE as one entity.”

My co-founder & spouse, Sanjay Jain, is a person of great Vision, who can gaze at the horizon. He is someone who always identified the rising sector and built upon it. While he is the mentor to ISAPL, himself runs an e-commerce global business. Frequently, I use him for bouncing my ideas and darts! A strong dart board is must for a start-up entrepreneur. Once vision is agreed, I work on operational elements, he identifies opportunity to cement the backbone of the network, alliances, resources and processes. We are family.

We have arrived-in with a clear thought of Empathy towards those in Distress of ‘Life & Death’. We value Human life and Human emotions to the utmost significance. We facilitate the Human Life creation and Soul departing. We understand that human needs are the same across the world. People (client) connect to us seeking Empathy and life-saving support. We relate to them. We are God’s special children that we are getting blessings of 500+ families who either got a new soul in their family or they could hold on to the life of their near-dear, spanning 35+ countries. Race, religion, faith, country, culture is immaterial. ONE SOCIETY. We work for blessings & God gives us money as bonus.

I am very contended 24×7 for the simple reason that I ‘help’ someone, somewhere !!

Since, I had learnt everything over the last 25 years and I believe that anyone can learn. The only quality needed is Empathy towards the person in distress and 360 degree view of the situation. I keep looking for few like-minded, similar experience members. I shared her ideas with few of her colleagues from the embassy time. Now, I have Dolly as my buddy and Sam, Ashu & Divika as my global partners. Two of the partners are my erstwhile clients. We have gained market leadership position in 2 of the 3 services segments of the business. Our Marketing is largely ‘word of mouth’. Slow, steady, sound and solid. I seek people who reflect Empathy for Human life; rest is hands-on training with ‘ownership’.
