SPICE
SENSE OF URGENCY
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. - Leonardo da Vinci
Making real progress every moment of every single day by identifying opportunities and problems at the initial stage and taking intelligent initiatives with energy, speed and alertness. Our sense of urgency takes us closer towards our passion for performance.
PROVIDE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." - Albert Einstein
All our efforts are driven towards questioning the status quo. We look for new, original and creative solutions to every challenge. We believe in a mindset and attitude that fosters creativity thereby efficiently producing a fresh perspective towards problem-solving.
INTEGRITY
"Power is actualized only when word and deed have not parted company." - Hannah Arendt
We uphold integrity both in letter and spirit. We do only those things that are legal, fair to all concerned and make us and others feel proud. Integrity, for us, is the quality of having strong moral principles and the state of being whole and undivided. We are predictably consistent and committed in our actions, values, methods, measures, principles and expectations irrespective of the outcomes.
EMPOWERMENT
"You don't build a business, you build people, then people build the business." - Zig Ziglar
We believe in providing the right tools, training, resources, encouragement, knowledge and motivation to our stakeholders for them to feel empowered at every stage. Trusting, sharing knowledge and providing the authority to find solutions is empowerment. "Winning Together" is empowerment. We want to ensure power in the hands of the customers.
COMPASSION & CARE
“Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.” - Mother Teresa
We carry within ourselves a deep sense of concern and empathy towards others and a strong desire to lessen others’ sufferings. We direct our time, focus and efforts from “me” to “us” and to “them” thus creating an environment of humility and building a sense of complete trust. In order to do this, we listen and we listen attentively, understanding the difficulties that others face and provide genuine care.expectations irrespective of the outcomes.

about Diagnosis and Treatment
OUR VISION
'Shaping Serendipity'
Serendipity means "fortuitous happenstance" or "pleasant surprise".
For serendipity to shape up, most important is the need to be "sagacious" enough to link together apparently innocuous facts in order to come to a valuable conclusion.
At Knowurture we build a culture of shaping serendipity not by processing information but rather by "tapping the tacit and often highly subjective insights, intuitions, and hunches of experts and make those insights available.
At Knowurture we develop intimate and seamless relationships with our customers, intermediaries, beneficiaries, vendors, employees, partners and other stakeholders to be prepared in many other ways to harness serendipity and make discoveries.
Guiding principle
“NEVER BE A SPECTATOR OF UNFAIRNESS OR STUPIDITY. THE GRAVE WILL SUPPLY PLENTY OF TIME FOR SILENCE.” - CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS (1949- 2011)
Every time we see someone suffering from a health crisis we have felt helpless. When it is due to lack of knowledge and uncertainty about the cure or prevention, we have hung our heads in shame. We are given to understand that the ways of the world cannot make tangible things like medicine or treatment affordable to entire humanity…but lack of knowledge ?
All of us at Knowurture will, at all times, strive to create a better world where suffering because of lack of Knowledge does not exist. We believe we have the capabilities and we all want to live in that world.
