"Regulation is just a form of change."

My question: What role do you see environmental sustainability play in your business model? 

Anwers: Samir - it's an important part, although 1docway does not use much electricity and has no material product, the company saves customers many driving trips per year, thus reducing the carbon footprint. 

Kunal - It is somewhat important - they follow all regulations and take it into consideration. 

The other two speakers passed on the question. 

Samir Malik was really the standout speaker on this panel! He has some really great ideas and is a fabulously succinct speaker. 

He says that "telemedicine" is an important field for hospitals to get into for capital.
