The QMed Team

From our CEO

It is great to be back! I was on a holiday (plus work from home) - visiting my son and his family in Canada. It has been three weeks since I am back and I must say it is great to be back here, doing all that I love to do.
The best things that happened since my return was that I delivered a lecture to Dental Undergraduate students at the YMT Dental College Navi Mumbai and then did a short workshop at HBT Cooper in Mumbai.
The first was part of a research event that the students had organized. It is great to see more and more UG students showing interest in research. The workshop at HBT Cooper was a start to utilizing the balance of the grant money we have from the Pfizer grant from the last year's "THIRST for AIIMS" project. We spent money so carefully that we have some left over and on our request, Pfizer gave us permission to utilize the same for medical colleges in Mumbai
A little about my holiday in Canada. My son and daughter in law have twins - a boy and girl who are nearing six. My granddaughter one day asked me why I was working when I was on vacation! I explained things to her as best as I could. Last evening when I talked to both on a video call, I told them how much I miss them. They asked me to come back right away. When I said I had lots of work here, they both said "You can work from here too"!
That's the innocence of children! I hope I can pass on a bit about the feeling of being passionate about whatever they love doing. My granddaughter is already passionate about drawing and the arts. My grandson shows passion for numbers. I hope they can find their niche.
And with that - a message to every youngster (and young at heart) reading this - "May you find your passion and soak in the bliss!"
