 Ratan Jalan
Founder & Principal Consultant
Ratan Jalan founded Medium Healthcare Consulting in 2009 driven by an urge to ‘make a difference in healthcare’. Innovation in business models and patient empowerment have been at the core of what he does.
Earlier, Ratan was the CEO of Apollo Health and Lifestyle Limited, part of the Apollo Hospitals Group for almost a decade. He created some of the most successful and innovative healthcare formats in the country such as a nationwide network of The Apollo Clinic and The Cradle, South Asia’s first boutique birthing centres. He also led some of the strategic marketing initiatives and international projects for the group.
In 1996, as President, Ratan set up India’s first hospital architecture and consulting firm Asian Health Services, a JV with ServiceMaster, a Fortune 500 company. In a short span of three years, the firm had become the undisputed thought leader in healthcare and worked with leading organizations like Wockhardt Hospitals, Escorts Hospital, Max Healthcare, Aditya Birla Foundation, IL&FS and Gleneagles Hospitals.
Ratan has over three decades of experience across diverse industries and functional responsibilities. He started his professional career in the information technology industry with HCL Technologies and then moved to advertising at Lintas (now Lowe). During his ten years there, he set up and headed the integrated marketing division and worked on leading Indian and international brands.
Ratan was awarded the Marketing Impact Award by S P Jain Institute of Management and has been nominated as one of the 50 most influential professionals in retailing. Recently, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame at Franchise Awards 2008 for the success of The Apollo Clinic initiative. He is also a frequent speaker at leading management institutes such as Harvard Business School, Indian School of Business Hyderabad, IIMs, FMS and S P Jain in the country and various industry forums such as World Economic Forum, CII, FICCI, ASSOCHAM, and AIIMA.
He is an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur and Harvard Business School.
He is an avid reader (mostly, and somewhat regrettably, non-fiction) and an occasional writer. He could be reached at ratan.jalan@med-ium.com |
