From Dentistry To Business Management – Dr. Kapil Mohan’s Journey In The Healthcare Domain

 Starting as a dentist, Dr. Mohan currently handles Strategy & Operations at Artemis Cardiac Care Pvt. Ltd.

Healthcare has always been a fascinating domain in India. Over time, it has faced various extremities, controversies, and debates regarding aspects like eradicating diseases, ensuring health for all, adopting the newer business model, consumer dynamics, emerging technology, and sustainable management of hospitals and healthcare services. Dr. Kapil Mohan has had an interesting and illustrious journey in the domain, from being a dentist to gaining a position in the senior management of reputed hospitals. 

Dr. Mohan forayed into healthcare as a dentist by working in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, AIIMS (New Delhi). He holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and has completed two PG Diploma programs in Medico-Legal Systems (Symbiosis Center of Health Care, Pune) and Hospital Management (Administrative Staff College of India, Hyderabad) respectively. He then pursued the Executive General Management Program in Healthcare from the IIM Bangalore. He also holds a Chartered in Private Equity (CPEP™) certification from the United States Private Equity Council (uspec), TX, United States.

Shortly after working as a dentist, Dr. Mohan steered away from practicing dentistry with a bigger and more managerial picture in mind. Keeping healthcare close to heart, he focused on the business and administrative aspects of running healthcare institutions in the country.

Intending to improve healthcare management in the country, Dr. Kapil Mohan joined a reputed healthcare IT firm as a Pre-Sales Consultant and Regional Head (Business Development) in 2010, and there has been none looking back since then. Climbing the ladder of the corporate hierarchy, he played several roles in handling business operations for healthcare institutions in the country, including Deputy Manager (Internal Audit), Medical Superintendent, Assistant General Manager (Transformation), and General Manager (Strategy and Transformation). Finally, he joined Artemis Cardiac Care (a joint venture between Artemis Medicare (Artemis Hospital) and Philips Medical Systems in 2021, handling Strategy & Operations. 

Artemis Cardiac Care is on a mission to create the largest asset-light business model in the space of Cardiac Sciences in the country. Heart-related illnesses are very common in India, and the medical infrastructure has always fallen short of catering to every heart patient in the country. Considering this issue, Dr. Mohan strives to make cardiac healthcare services more accessible across the country, especially in tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The asset-light model he aims toward is designed to increase the agility of healthcare services and encourage a shift of resources that allows healthcare experts to focus on the issues that matter the most. 

Throughout his journey from being a dentist to a Senior Management role, Dr. Kapil Mohan has always believed in steering away from making any compromises to provide quality healthcare services to the people of the country.
