Jacob Mathew’s interest in social enterprise started with creating cross-subsidization business plans for social enterprises, when he enrolled with the Dasra Social Impact programme. In 2005, he set up Idiom Design and Consulting, a business design firm based in Bangalore. His interaction with social enterprises began when Idiom designed Mother Earth, started by Neelam Chhibber, his wife. By 2009, he had quit Idiom to exclusively work with social enterprises. SpringHealth was one of the first ones Jacob worked with to put his experience with Idiom into practice, and eventually became a board member.
