Healthcare is crucial for human life – its availability and affordability have significant impact on society's well-being. In developing countries like India, healthcare services are vital for sustainable economic development. The Indian healthcare market, valued at US$ 110 billion in FY16, is projected to reach US$ 638 billion by FY25, growing at an average of 22% annually (Indian Brand Equity Foundation, February 2025). This sector seeks to offer diverse investment opportunities across the value chain.
