Excellence Has No Borders
It is indeed tragic that most Indians across generations are groomed from their formative years to subscribe to a flawed interpretation of the Karma theory and the caste system built on a fatalistic premise, which assumes without second thought that whatever happens (or does not happen) is the outcome of our good or bad karmaDr. B. S. Ajaikumar
My book is a summary of my experiences and insights as a practising oncologist in both US and India. The story of my trials and triumphs bears testimony to the fact that quality and excellence have no borders across the globe, whatever one’s profession or vocation.
Excellence Has No Borders
Dr. B S Ajaikumar's book 'Excellence has no borders’ is a film ahead of a book, the awe-inspiring story of a true maverick in motion who set up a thriving cancer care chain against all odds. The stream-of-consciousness narrative probes deep into the fundamental questions of life but maintains a solution-centric approach not found in many mainstream accounts. The book covers Dr. Ajai's student days at school and college, his tryst with medicine, his emigration to US, residency training, fellowship, and practice, and his homecoming to set up cancer care centres in India - covering all milestones not in sequential fashion, but by virtue of a highly cinematic back-and-forth narrative.

The book starts with a couple of nerve-wrecking events — one a near-bankruptcy owing to the dot com bust and two, a SOS call from India informing the protagonist about his son's wheelchair accident and ICU emergency.
