S1 Episode 15: Equal access to quality healthcare: holistic support for the disabled and elderly, with Karn Ghosh of Kinela

Australia doesn’t yet have a burgeoning social business sector, but businesses like Kinela are changing that. A great example of a ‘profit with purpose’ enterprise, one of the first with B corp status, Kinela is making a big difference in the lives of disabled Australians.

Providing first rate online health expertise to patients in remote areas, and those less able to travel, is particularly necessary service in such a vast coutry, but the model will no doubt grow beyond its borders. At the moment, the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) that launched in Australia back in 2015 is having a hugely positive impact on provision for disabled people - it would be great to see equivalent programs in other countries in the near future.

My guest is Karn Ghosh, founder and CEO of Kinela, who has built a fantastic business in just a few short years, having realised the need for the service while working as a physiotherapist. Demand has increased during the pandemic and he has now built a strong team around him.

Karn describes the challenge of fundraising as a social business; he talks about what inspires him, where they are now and what comes next on their social mission.,
