A crisis can typically evoke two broad responses from individuals or groups - wait， watch， and assess， or get to work right away。 A team closely associated with IIT Kanpur took the second route - and the result is an astounding 90-day journey from merely an idea to an indigenously made ICU ventilator that was deployed to save lives in India during the pandemic。 The book recounts the story of executing the ventilator project from day 0 but also ventures into providing a blueprint for how vital in A crisis can typically evoke two broad responses from individuals or groups - wait， watch， and assess， or get to work right away。 A team closely associated with IIT Kanpur took the second route - and the result is an astounding 90-day journey from merely an idea to an indigenously made ICU ventilator that was deployed to save lives in India during the pandemic。 The book recounts the story of executing the ventilator project from day 0 but also ventures into providing a blueprint for how vital innovation can flourish in the post-Covid era。 The book is a great read for innovators， entrepreneurs， science and technology researchers/engineers， government， academia， industry， among others。 。。。more

Book Review - The Ventilator Project“The Ventilator Project” marks the start of a new era in Indian Medical Technology world。 In the “Pre-Covid” world， SME Medtech companies would make sub-standard， jugaad products which hardly pass-of as “AatmaNirbhar”。 Startup Medtech companies would make good， innovative products but would vanish for lack of market support within 2-3 years。 Larger companies would mostly import Medical equipments from Europe， US and china and sell at exorbitant prices。 In the Book Review - The Ventilator Project“The Ventilator Project” marks the start of a new era in Indian Medical Technology world。 In the “Pre-Covid” world， SME Medtech companies would make sub-standard， jugaad products which hardly pass-of as “AatmaNirbhar”。 Startup Medtech companies would make good， innovative products but would vanish for lack of market support within 2-3 years。 Larger companies would mostly import Medical equipments from Europe， US and china and sell at exorbitant prices。 In the new “Post-Covid” world， the ventilator project provides a new platform or blueprint for SME Medtech companies to join hands with Startups and Academia and build world class， truly “AatmaNirbhar” products。 This book is a must read for everyone - young startups brimming with ideas， entrepreneurs involved in new product development， government agencies， academics and all those who want to have a stake in building truly AatmaNirbhar Bharat。As a person closely involved in the manufacturing of Noccarc V310 Ventilator， I am confident that now there will be many more projects making world class， innovative products in India and this book will be their blueprint。 Chirag GalaMD， AVI Healthcare Pvt LtdManufacturer of the “ventilator” in #TheVentilatorProject 。。。more
