Met and interviewed Abhay Soi, ace healthcare investor and the force behind Max Healthcare’s rise to Rs 1 lakh crore market cap — now India’s most valuable healthcare company. From turning around struggling hospitals to leading a Rs 5,000 crore expansion, Soi’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. Soi spoke to me about his vision of a pan-India crusade to bridge the country’s healthcare gap. The banker-turned-healthcare entrepreneur opened up about his early days as an outsider in the industry — and how it was his initial failures, not successes, that truly shaped his approach to building and leading in healthcare. https://lnkd.in/dH-g4qZD #AbhaySoi #MaxHealthcare #HealthcareLeader #EconomicTimes

AI has been a buzz word since GPT showcased it's strength a year back. Today we have more than 400+ AI platforms available for various applications. Every walk of life will be affected through the capabilities of AI in the coming years. It's entrance to health care may be slow as always but it is certain to change the way we experience the services delivered. NH has been driving it's digital transformation much before the AI entered into our life. The new AI tools are giving much needed tailwinds for this transformation. One day session on NH digital platform capabilities introduced the much awaited AI supported AIRA platform. We are convinced these platforms will change the way health care delivery is currently delivered through higher efficiency and safety. https://lnkd.in/gQKbVMQH

One Nation, One Healthtech Stack: The Future of Digital Healthcare in India India is at the cusp of a groundbreaking shift in healthcare delivery. Thanks to the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, we now have over 73 crore ABHA IDs issued—enabling citizens to securely store and transmit their health data. Additionally, more than 5 lakh healthcare professionals are onboard, reinforcing trust and credibility in digital health platforms. But it’s not enough to just digitise records; we must create an interoperable healthtech stack that connects every node of the healthcare ecosystem—clinics, labs, hospitals, and telehealth platforms. Imagine seamless access to a patient’s medical history, diagnostics, and prescriptions, no matter where they receive care. Initiatives like the Unified Health Interface (UHI), which draws from the principles of UPI, are designed to bridge this digital divide, enabling frictionless integration of services across providers. This unified infrastructure promises better diagnosis, improved transparency, and stronger continuity of care. India has already set global benchmarks with digital infrastructure—from Aadhaar to UPI and CoWIN. A healthtech stack built on similar principles can revolutionise public health: enabling informed decision-making, expanding preventive care, and ensuring that technology truly serves every Indian, everywhere.

You might be wasting money on ads that no patient ever sees. That’s the reality if you’re still relying on old-school medical marketing tactics. AI is changing the game. Here’s a quick case: A joint replacement clinic in India struggled with random leads from generic Facebook ads. We suggested to adopt an AI-driven campaign that analyzed patient behavior, local search trends, and even seasonal spikes in orthopedic cases. The result? ✔ 42% more qualified leads ✔ 30% lower ad spend ✔ Faster conversions because patients received personalized follow-ups within minutes It wasn’t magic. It was AI making their marketing smarter, faster, and more human at the same time. "Technology doesn’t replace empathy; it amplifies it." #MedicalMarketing #AI #Surgeons #Hospitals #HealthcareGrowth

Doctors should write prescriptions in capital letters to enhance clarity and reduce errors from illegible handwriting. Recommended by India's NMC and mandated in several states, this practice prioritizes patient safety. Courts and government directives support it, aiming to transition to fully typed or digital prescriptions for greater accuracy and to modernize healthcare practices nationwide.

As I shared during the discussion: “𝘐𝘧 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 20–30 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.

🏥 First Adani. Now Ambani. India’s healthcare future is being rewritten — not by governments alone, but by its largest business empires. 📌 Adani has announced an AI-first healthcare ecosystem — modular hospitals in Ahmedabad & Mumbai, designed around intelligence, affordability, and scalability. 📌 Reliance, at its AGM 2025, unveiled a 2,000-bed Medical City in Mumbai — complete with AI-enabled diagnostics, robotic systems, and a world-class teaching hospital, alongside a 130-acre green urban space. 🔎 What this signals: Healthcare is no longer just about beds and buildings. It’s about data, AI, ecosystems, and scale. Adani is betting on AI-first hospitals. Ambani is betting on a Medical City model. 💡 The Real Race The question is no longer who builds the first AI hospital. It’s who builds the healthcare brain that India — and the world — will depend on. Because the future of healthcare isn’t just digital. It’s AI-powered, affordable, and sustainable. India is quietly shaping what global healthcare could look like in the 2030s. Two names. Two models. But one clear direction: Healthcare is the next frontier. #Adani #Ambani #FutureOfHealthcare #AIHospitals #MedicalCity #DigitalHealth #IndiaLeads
