Q&A WITH FOUNDER JALIL ALLABADI

Q If not Altibbi, what would you have rather started?

A I would have started something in education, not necessarily in technology.

Have you done anything on your entrepreneurial journey you regret?

No.

What memory do you treasure the most?

Until now, I think that a moment that amazed me is when I realised that this is what I want to do [start Altibbi]. I think the next one would be realising a dream, which is an IPO.

What is your advice to entrepreneurs?

Remain hungry. That is the most important advice I ever got. Just remain hungry for success, for achieving something and accomplishing something.

What is your personal motto?

Just be optimistic all the time. I’m a serial optimist.

What is your vision for Altibbi?

We want [Altibbi] to be at the heart of health care in emerging markets. We started with the infrastructure and we want to do the drug delivery and the diagnostics.

“We want to make it [health care] more seamless, more efficient, cheaper and [of] higher quality at the same time. This is our vision and our motto is better health for all.

“So we’re all about delivering a better, higher quality health care and more accessibility.”
