A raging pandemic, a dearth of lifesaving equipment, and ninety days to manufacture a worldclass ventilator. On 24 March 2020, a nationwide lockdown was imposed in India in the face of a formidable adversary, the Covid19 pandemic. With the number of cases increasing exponentially, hospitals were faced with a dangerous shortage of lifesaving equipment and personnel. In response to the imminent crisis, Amitabha Bandyopadhyay and Srikant Sastri formed the IIT Kanpur ventilator Consortium as a task force to assist a young startup, Nocca Robotics, in building affordable highquality ventilators for Indias cashstrapped hospitals. Under the mentorship of reputed industry leaders, the task force and the Nocca team worked tirelessly against unprecedented odds trammelled by a ban on imports and telecommuting through Zoom and Whatsapp in the face of stringent lockdown restrictions to manufacture the Noccarc V310 in record time. This is the incredible story of its conception, creation and success, in the words of the task force coleaders themselves. Inspiring and riveting, The Ventilator Project also offers an unmatched blueprint for business in the postCovid era through firsthand lessons gleaned during the task forces phenomenal ninetyday run. It proves that India, with its deep recesses of talent and ingenuity, has the potential to be world leaders in both business and social impact.Read more
