Dr. Mukesh Daftary is a Mumbai-based physician-entrepreneur whose career spans the full arc of healthcare — clinician, hospital owner, administrator, consultant and medical-technology businessman. Qualified as an anesthesiologist (M.B.B.S., D.A., M.D.), he practised in government and private hospitals from 1982 to 2005 while simultaneously owning and managing a multispecialty nursing home for twenty-five years.
That rare combination — treating patients in the theatre while running the institution around it — became the foundation of Hospicon, the hospital planning, design and turnkey project consultancy he founded in 1981, and of Biomed Healthtech Pvt Ltd, the medical technology company he has led as Managing Director since 1989. In 1992 he extended into health IT, founding a medical software venture that grew into a private limited company.
His work has taken him to twenty-seven countries and earned him formal recognition on three continents — three awards from the UK Government’s Trade & Investment division, an award from the US Government’s Department of Trade and Commerce, an award from the Hong Kong Government, and an award from the King of Lagos, Nigeria, for training doctors in Lagos hospitals. He was also selected by the British Euro Service Group — ahead of four competing international consultants — to deliver the feasibility study for a hospital at Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt.
