India’s healthcare industry is witnessing transformative growth, driven by innovation, digitalisation, and a collaborative ecosystem. As one of the largest sectors by revenue and employment, it encompasses hospitals, med-tech, telemedicine, insurance, diagnostics, and medical tourism. The rise in private equity, foreign investments, and proactive government initiatives is further accelerating the sector’s development. Today, India is rapidly embracing technologies like telehealth, AI in diagnostics, digital prescriptions, wearable health devices, and health cloud platforms. These advancements are not only expanding reach and affordability but also enhancing care quality and operational efficiency.
