Central to his transformation is the invaluable role of The Doctorpreneur Academy, which provided the guidance, insights, and structure to help him build and expand his dream.
A Childhood Dream Turned Lifelong Purpose
Dr. Amit Agarwal’s aspiration to become a doctor began early, nurtured by the support of teachers and friends in Nainital. His dedication led him to medical coaching in Agra, culminating in his selection to Agra Medical College. But his vision was never limited to just becoming a doctor—he aimed to build a space where quality care met compassion.
From MBBS to MBA: A Dual Journey of Medicine and Management
After completing his MBBS, Dr. Agarwal went a step further, pursuing an MBA to better understand hospital management. This combination empowered him to think beyond patient treatment and envision the creation of a structured, efficient healthcare facility—one that now serves thousands of children in Bareilly.
Through The Doctorpreneur Academy, he accessed business strategies and hospital growth models specifically designed for doctors, helping him turn ideas into implementation.
Compassion Over Profit: The Heart of His Practice
For Dr. Agarwal, ethics and empathy form the core of his medical philosophy. He recounts treating a critically ill child without receiving full payment, emphasizing that saving a life is more valuable than financial transactions.
- He believes that genuine care builds long-lasting goodwill.
- Financial success, he says, should be the byproduct of ethical medical practice.
This mindset has been reinforced through the values-driven coaching at The Doctorpreneur Academy, which emphasizes doing well by doing good.
Scaling with Integrity: From a Small Clinic to a Hospital
Starting from a modest clinic, Dr. Agarwal faced early financial struggles, borrowing from friends and family to purchase land. But with persistence and a clear vision, he grew the hospital—first one floor, and eventually a four-story pediatric facility.
The Doctorpreneur Academy offered insights on clinic-to-hospital scaling, including modules on:
- Facility planning
- Financial risk management
- Team and staff development
- Patient experience and branding
This structured guidance accelerated the hospital’s growth and helped Dr. Agarwal prepare for upcoming renovations and expansions.
The Role of Family in the Medical Journey
Dr. Agarwal takes immense pride in his children, both of whom chose medicine despite the challenges. His daughter, a gold medalist from SRMS Medical College, faced setbacks due to reservation policies, while his son is completing an MD at PIMS Udaipur.
He acknowledges that many doctors’ children avoid medicine due to its demanding nature, but some later regret not embracing the deeply rewarding career their parents pursued.
Medicine: A Field of Challenges and Fulfillment
Dr. Agarwal doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of the medical field. The journey demands:
- Long-term commitment

But for those who persist, the field offers endless growth opportunities, especially for those with existing setups. His association with The Doctorpreneur Academy kept him motivated and provided direction during challenging phases, ensuring he remained on track.
