He was previously the president of NATHEALTH (Healthcare Federation of India) and co-chair of Medical Technology for FICCI & CII.
“The next decade holds a lot of promise for medical innovation and integration of various technologies, particularly digital solutions. I look forward to working closely with med-tech companies on behalf of Claypond, to scale up their presence in South Asia and overseas”, said Dr. Subramanyam.
Dr. Ranjan Pai said, “Healthcare delivery is changing profoundly in the post-Covid world, and medical technology has a big role to play in making healthcare accessible and affordable. Innovation will require long term capital and collaboration between industry and academia. We believe the platform approach will address the opportunity for India to participate in the growth of the med-tech sector across regions”.
India’s medical devices market, valued at INR 1.2L Cr in FY24, is projected to grow at an 11% CAGR from FY24-32. 80% of products are imported, providing an opportunity for import substitution across segments. Increasing insurance penetration & disposable income, addition of new hospitals and labs especially in Tier 2/3+, rise in chronic diseases, and government incentives are expected to drive growth.
