ABOUT THE GUEST
Dhruvin Patel is an optometrist and entrepreneur encouraging a healthier relationship with technology in the digital age through his award winning business, Ocushield.
He came up with the idea whilst studying Optometry at university and, having received a development grant from City University of London, built Ocushield into an internationally distributed, medically rated product that has transformed thousands of peoples’ eye health and quality of life. From humble roots, getting featured in nearly 50 publications including Forbes, USA Today and The Guradian, to winning over Peter Jones & Tej Lalvani on Dragon's Den, Dhruvin's entrepreneurial journey is experiencing success he'd once only ever dreamed of. Earlier this year, Ocushield won the King's Award, praised by the Prime Minister and King Charles himself, and has now helped over 300,000 eyes in over 70 countries.
