The case study examines how commercial value for new ideas is created through business model design. More specifically, the study is concerned with the commercialization process of a ‘dental care on wheels’ prototype called Suupirssi, which was originally manufactured for teaching and training purposes. It was later considered that mobile dental care services, and perhaps other types of mobile health care services, could have a wider business potential in both domestic and global markets. The case study elaborates on the process of designing and testing multiple business models that could be used either separately or simultaneously.

Kerala has been a destination for many economists from all around the world for its ‘unique model of development’. The basic sustainable indicators of human capital attainment of Kerala, despite its low income, are probably an exception in the human capital theory. Professor Amartya Sen, on many occasions, cited a ‘new paradigm of social development’ in the state. Many world bodies like UNDP, WHO, UNICEF, etc. have acknowledged this at different times. The development paradigm of Kerala had been a source of inspiration for the preparation of the Human Development Index (HDI) in 1990. The strong record of basic health has made the state comparable with developed countries.
