Once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur. That is what aptly defines Harsimarbir Singh, co-founder, Pristyn Care. Even after four of his startups failed one after another, Singh was upbeat and kept at it until he found success with his fourth company, Pristyn. Founded in 2018, the Gurugram-based startup is today the fastest unicorn in the healthtech space. The startup offers surgery care to patients undergoing elective surgeries, that is, non-emergency surgeries through advanced medical technology and recovery measures. Present in 42 cities, it has so far catered to more than 1.5 million patients so far, has around 200 plus clinics throughout the country and a team of close to 700 plus doctors.
THE FOURTH TIME'S A CHARM
Besides the strong instincts he had toward entrepreneurship, certain life experiences further pushed him into it. One such incident was meeting leadership teams at Facebook and Amazon while studying in the US. And, the second was getting an internship as an investment banker in India. While the first taught him that it was not difficult to build a company if one puts his or her heart into it, the latter made him understand that he was not cut for a 9-5 job. So, without any further delay, he quickly embarked on an entrepreneurial journey.
He started Hyden Power in 2010, but it failed. He then started US Brands, it failed too. Then Whoopie Technologies and then DeliverOye. All four ventures failed for different reasons. "After my fourth startup failed and my parents asked me what I would do now, I said to myself I'm done. I would never start another company. I was completely low on confidence," he said.
