Emergency, Now Just a Call Away
Once Sweta Mangal, CEO& co-founder, Dial 1298, finished her masters in the US, she
decided to return back to India. While she was in Tata AIG Life, her friend Shaffi Mather
approached her with an idea, one that could result in saving lives of people in Mumbai.
The idea was to start an Ambulance Service in mumbaimodeled around 911 of the US
and 999 of the UK. "I found the idea very interesting and decided to be a part of it. With
limited resources, I along with four other friends founded the Dial 1298 for Ambulance
service in Mumbai. The service started with ten ambulances in may 2005 and today, has
70 ambulances operating in Mumbai and Kerala," express Mangal.
With their unique business model, dial 1298 has become a case study at many foreign
universities. Emergency medical services is an inherently loss making proposition
worldwide to operate as a commercial venture but the 1298 ambulance project, with its
unique model, has been operating for last four years on self-sustainable basis while
providing universal access in case of emergency. "We have been recognised for the cross
subsidy model, has been operating for last four years now. As part of this recognition,
Dial 1298 for Ambulance has been made a case study at Harvard Business Schol
University of Michigan : Rose Business School. It has also been made a project study at
Yale, NYU, Oxford, Stanford Princeton and LSE," informs Mangal adding, " The
experience has been very motivating for us ; it makes us feel students from the above
universities visit us to understand the model and have also discussed with us ways and
means of scaling up the service. The whole process of becoming a case study has been

truly motivating ; knowing that top universities are teaching what we have built gives us
immense amount of confidence not only in our work, but also in ourselves."
Mangal adds that thought they did face a few challenges in the beginning, today they are
highly satisfied and are pushing themselves to do better so that they can inspire more to
follow their passion.
Indian Entrepreneurs are making waves throughout the world ; their ideas, technical
knowledge and entrepreneurial skills have yielded unprecedented growth in income,
employment and wealth. Their case studies are in fact now being studied at top
universities across the globe.
