At just 22, Arjun Deshpande is making waves in India’s healthcare industry, and now, even the Home Minister of India, Shri Amit Shah, has taken notice. The young entrepreneur, who founded Generic Aadhaar, has been recognized for his efforts in slashing medicine prices by up to 80%, making quality healthcare accessible to millions of Indians.

During their recent meeting, Amit Shah praised Arjun’s vision of revolutionizing the pharmaceutical sector, particularly for those battling chronic illnesses like diabetes and cancer. But Arjun’s mission isn’t just about cheaper medicines—it's about empowering micro-entrepreneurs and women through Generic Aadhaar’s franchise model, ensuring affordable healthcare reaches every corner of the country.

And there was a special moment too—Arjun gifted the Home Minister a book he compiled, titled "The Success Quotes by Sir Ratan Tata". The book is a tribute to his mentor, Shri Ratan Tata, whose ideals of self-reliance and inclusivity have guided Arjun’s journey.

Speaking about the recognition, an elated Arjun said, “It’s an honor to be acknowledged by Amit Shah Ji. His encouragement strengthens my commitment to making medicines affordable for every Indian. Like my mentor Shri Ratan Tata Ji, he believes no Indian should be deprived of essential healthcare. This is more than just an appreciation—it’s a boost for young entrepreneurs like me who are working towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji’s vision of a $5 trillion economy.”

Arjun’s impact is already visible. Generic Aadhaar is changing how medicines are distributed and priced, creating opportunities for thousands of small business owners, and ensuring that quality healthcare is no longer a privilege but a right.

With Amit Shah’s endorsement, Arjun’s mission gains even more momentum—bringing India one step closer to an affordable and self-reliant healthcare system.
