Overview

India’s healthcare sector is racing towards a projected USD 638 billion market by 2025, powered by rising demand, insurance penetration, medical tourism and a fast-growing healthtech ecosystem. At the same time, providers are grappling with overcrowded public infrastructure, uneven quality of care, workforce shortages and mounting pressure to go digital, even as the digital health market itself is set to grow from roughly USD 16 billion in 2024 to over USD 75–100 billion by 2033–35, at close to 19–20% CAGR. This creates a pivotal moment for hospital chains, diagnostics, payers and healthtech companies to re-imagine care models, unlock new efficiencies and make healthcare more accessible and affordable across India’s diverse geographies.

The Financial Express Healthcare Summit & Awards is designed as a focused B2B platform for hospital CEOs, CXOs, policymakers, insurers, medtech and digital health leaders to navigate this transition and separate real transformation from hype. With surveys showing Indian hospitals planning a 20–25% rise in IT innovation budgets over the next 2–3 years, and nearly half of providers already directing 20–50% of their spends to digital initiatives, the summit will spotlight what is working on the ground in AI-enabled diagnostics, telehealth, interoperable health records, value-based care and patient-centric innovation. The Awards will recognise organisations and leaders who convert innovation into measurable impact—better outcomes, lower costs, expanded access and stronger patient trust—offering powerful benchmarks and inspiration for India’s next decade of healthcare growth.
