India’s healthcare and pharmaceutical sector is one of the largest globally, supplying over 20% of the world’s generic medicines and serving as a key hub for clinical research, medical devices, and healthcare delivery. With rising demand for quality healthcare, digitization of medical services, and government initiatives like Ayushman Bharat, the sector offers vast opportunities but also faces stringent regulatory oversight.
