Any course that I haven't taught in last two years is not on this list.

I. Medical Device Design Course
Taught over two semesters at AIIMS Delhi, India.

This course focuses on transforming young physicians, engineers, designers and business graduates into problem-focused, agile, solution-oriented medical technology entrepreneurs. The course has evolved out of the Stanford University's Biodesign program and embraces frugality and a deep motive of सर्वजन हिताय सर्वजन सुखाय as powerful inspiration for "inventing for good".
These two courses are at the core of delivering the post-graduate training program (innovation Fellowship) at Biodesign School.

II. Biodesign 101
Summer semester at Hiroshima University, Japan.

Offered to Masters (MS) and Graduate (PhD) students across disciplines of engineering, medicine, surgery and entrepreneurship. It is run like a hands-on workshop and helps the participants understand the journey of a medical device - from an insight to idea and from a prototype to a product. This course is supported by a fund from the Governor's office of Hiroshima Prefecture and is joined by middle and senior - level managers from the local medical device industry.

III. Health Technology Commercialisation
Winter semester at Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia.

Offered to Masters (MS) and Graduate (PhD) students across disciplines of engineering, nursing and Business. It is run like a hands-on workshop and helps the participants understand the importance of problem identification before committing to a research problem for their thesis (MS/PhD) or their enterprise. It is kindly supported by BlueBox, the investment arm of QUT.

IV. Digital Health 101
Monsoon semester at IIIT, Delhi

India's first course on Digital Health. The semester long course offered to B.Tech, M.Tech and PhD students is focused on developing insights on the burgeoning field of digital health. We focus on learning the potential of digital technologies for improving health of citizens and also the limitations and contradictions of digital health. With the class we have often discovered that bits can go where bricks can not!

V. Innovations for Change (HS451)
Autumn semester at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Patna

India's first course focused on empowering engineering students with the thinking tools and actionable plan for using their knowledge to solve pressing problems in the society around them. Being of Bihari origin, I donate my hours to students on the soil of Bihar - with a perennial hope that one of them would create an enterprise/product/service that would help solve the common man's problem(s) in Bihar.
