“When you find it, you will change the world.” Starting his illuminating session by talking about a great topic like the power of purpose, Deepesh Rajpal shared his personal journey and revealed what drove him to build his huge empire from what seemed like nothing. ‘Adversity is the mother of invention', this stands true for Deepesh, as he informed the audience that it was his mother getting sick, that brought him back to India, away from the US where he was working for his dream companies. His mother’s illness highlighted the lack of understanding in medicine even amongst the highly educated. This realisation sparked a desire in him to create visibility in medication. In his talk, technology emerged as a critical ally. By leveraging modern advancements, he sought to enhance the understanding and visibility of pharmaceuticals, thereby bridging the gap between patient needs and medical knowledge. Deepesh beautifully defined the concept of dharma as the intersection of passion, expertise, and usefulness, which surely encapsulates this journey. Starting from humble beginnings, such as setting up small canopies in local parks, Deepesh was driven by a clear purpose: to educate and empower the community regarding their health choices. “You have to think and you have to build it,” this very approach of his not only attracted initial interest but also fostered loyalty; bringing back more than half of his initial participants for additional support in one of his first endeavours. The compelling nature of his venture caught the attention of investors, leading to significant financial backing despite the absence of a formal pitch. This reflects a deep-seated faith in the vision behind the business. Deepesh’s journey illustrates how knowing your purpose can help you change the world, and that passion goes a long way.
