💡

India's healthcare paradox: India has 0.7 doctors per 1,000 people — less than a quarter of the WHO recommended level of 2.3. Yet it is also home to a world-class generic pharmaceutical industry supplying 20% of global medicine exports. The opportunity for affordable, scalable health technology has never been greater.
