Infinite Vision: How Aravind Became the World's Greatest Business Case for Compassion

Dr. V (Venkataswamy) founded a small eye care clinic in India after a crippling disease ended his original career ambitions. His goal was to cure the world of blindness. The clinic, now called Aravind, has become the largest provider of eye care globally. At Aravind, patients decide whether to pay for treatment. Millions receive care for free, yet the organization remains financially self-sufficient. It serves patients ranging from poor farmers to presidents, delivering outcomes comparable to advanced nations at less than one hundredth of the cost. The model has been adopted by organizations in locations including Rwanda and San Francisco. Infinite Vision examines the principles underlying Aravind's success. The book presents stories and insights into Dr. V's vision, demonstrating how decisions that appear unconventional can produce significant results when pursued with compassion and integrity.
