Dr Srinivasan Periathiruvadi knew that starting a private, not for profit blood bank in India would be a daunting job. With Dr. Saranya, who joined him early on, he went ahead anyway in 1995.

It involved education, persuasion and maintaining uncompromising quality standards. Jeevan Blood Bank paved the way for testing and raising the quality of blood dispensed in the country. As well as getting the Indian Government to issue a gazette notification and make it a national policy.

He turned his attention to the problem of creating a Bone Marrow Registry in 2015 (https://www.bethecure.in/) to help those afflicted with cancer and thalassemia - and to find a match, ethnicity is a major factor. Apart from saving lives, Dr. Srinivasan is an avid traveler and photographer who has captured breathtaking frames from some of the most picturesque spots in the world. All proceeds from the exhibitions of these photos goes to support the foundations he has built. A man who believes in the goodness of humans and meets every challenge with a belief in finding solutions and solving intractable problems.
