Coverage by Bhat Dittakavi of Variance.AI on Social Impact Meetup at T-HUB on 28th June 2017
Juliane Froemmter, Director, T-Hub
I am into international relations at T-HUB. Social impact is the prime reason I am here in India. This is my area of interest. Objective is to hand the social Meetup into your hands to self drive it even if I am away for work.
Jay Krishnan, CEO @T-Hub
At T-HUB we work on KPIs. Gathering like this shall have no agenda, rightfully so. I am also a personal believer that any social problem can be solved to a large degree using technology.
The Startup I sold in 2007 was into social impact.
Check up on “Hastings health of nations”. Kerala stood out on the map and is on par with Norway.
WNC hospitals have obstetricians,  gynecologists, pediatricians pan India. There are 12-20 patients (pregnant mothers) per doctor hour in Kerala. There are 450 pregnant mothers per hour per doctor in Uttar Pradesh. We came up with a technology that we put together in a tiny sticker that can be mounted anywhere.
We piggy backed on insurance card RSB Yojana and put our sticker there. We partnered with cellphone providers to sponsor us. Nuance licensed us the transcribing technology.
Diagnosis is transcribed and then it goes to pharmacy and then it talks to the bar code. This stopped pilfery of those free drugs.
Diagnosis to prescription drugs to delivery the drugs is all tracked digitally. We developed this just inside a month. The run rate of patients to doctors significantly dropped. This social impact project turned out to be 10 crores a month.

Tryst with sustainability.
I am into Sustainable development growth (SDG). I do business coaching. I am good in fund raising.
Litmus test for being called social entrepreneurs
Not every Startup van be called impact startup. If a decision affects either your profit or several people with an impact, which one do you choose?
Theory of change: If you are helping someone to figure out their personality or himself, it is just an output and not impact. Building toilets for swachch Bharat is still not impact. People using those toilets is the outcome of this output. This outcome is what we call a real impact. Impact can only be measured after few years.
