Manish Doshi is an Indian entrepreneur who is the founder and managing director of Concept Medical, a medical devices company headquartered in Tampa, Florida and was the largest medical device exporter from India in 2022. The company develops and manufactures drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloon for cardiovascular treatment. Under Manish's direction, Concept Medical developed MagicTouch, the world’s first sirolimus-drug coated balloon (SCB). It is the only sirolimus-coated balloon globally approved with CE certification and extensive commercial usage in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. In recognition of his pioneering work, he was awarded the Champions of Change, a national award given by the Government of India. He also received an Honorary Doctorate and Marico Innovation Foundation's Innovation for India Award for his contributions to nanotechnology-based drug delivery for cardiovascular devices. In 1998, angioplasties gained more popularity than bypass surgeries. The spring-like components crucial for heart surgeries were not produced by any Indian company at the time. Manish formed a team of engineers to improve the design of cardiovascular devices, with a focus on coronary stents in India. The company became a pioneer in developing nanotechnology-based applications for drug delivery.
