On the occasion of World Health Day(7th April 2018), we have listed down few healthcare startups which are doing good as well as revolutionizing the healthcare space:-
Health care presents one of the biggest opportunities for startups. According to a recent PWC report, India ranks among the top 10 global growth markets for nutritional food and beverages.
According to a United Nations Population Fund report, the number of people aged 60+ in India will increase from 100 Mn in 2011 to 300 Mn by 2050. And of these 300 Mn, 200 Mn will suffer from chronic ailments such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and more. Thus, opening up doors of opportunities for healthtech startups trying to disrupt untapped niche sectors in this space.
With investors, both venture capitalists as well as angel investors, focussing their investments towards development of robust models to solve healthcare issues plaguing Indian citizens, start-ups that are offering solutions to a lot of problems have mushroomed throughout the country.
