1/ Hospital Valuation Strategies: Two Different Perspectives
The Big Question for Large Hospitals: Will deepening expertise in critical areas like oncology prove as lucrative in long-term as achieving nationwide scale and dominance?
AIG Hospitals: Deepening Expertise for Value Creation (Focus: Strategic Niche Investment) 1) The Move: $92M dedicated Oncology investment building on core strengths. 2) The Impact: Achieved a 138% valuation growth (2019-2025), rising from $378M to $900M. The Implication: Signals a focused bet on clinical excellence and leadership in a high-demand specialty. Could this targeted investment model unlock further specialized service lines? |  |
 | Manipal Hospitals: Expanding Reach for Market Dominance 1) The Move: Acquired Sahyadri Hospitals 2) The Impact: Triggered a massive valuation leap, jumping from $8-10B to a commanding $13B. The Implication: With a $1B IPO planned, does this position Manipal as the undisputed national leader poised for even greater consolidation? |
2/ Autism: Multi Faceted Perspective (Podcast)
The landscape of child development is shifting, with a stark reality emerging: ๐ญ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ด๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐บ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐๐บ ๐๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ (๐๐ฆ๐).
On this episode of AGENDA+HEALTH by Piyush Sanduja, We welcome a beacon of expertise, Dr. Sonam Kothari, to shed light on the burgeoning challenge of autism in๐ฎ๐ณ.
Trained at the esteemed NIMHANS, Bangalore, Dr. Kothari holds an MBBS, MD-Ph.D., & is a certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA-US).
Her passion for making evidence-based therapies accessible led her to establish Butterfly Learnings, which now operates 50 Paediatric Neuro-Development centres across India, providing vital support to children with ASD.
In this insightful podcast, Dr. Kothari delves into the multifaceted aspects of autism in India, exploring:

3/ Uprising Healthtech | Medtech startups in INDIA
Subhag Healthtech revolutionizes infertility treatment with VConceive, the worldโs first home-based Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) kit, empowering gynecologists to perform sperm washing in-clinic with AndroWash, reducing dependency on labs.
Healthflex provides wearable motion sensors and a mobile app for doctor-supervised physiotherapy, delivering real-time feedback for at-home musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Iksa.ai offers a HIPAA-compliant AI platform with tools like automated clinical note generation and real-time diagnostic insights, streamlining workflows for healthcare teams.
Vibrasense offers a portable, battery-powered biothesiometer for rapid diabetic neuropathy screening, using true sinusoidal vibration to detect sensory loss in under 10 minutes.
Kubocareโs radar-based fall detection system uses AI powered algorithms to monitor seniors non-invasively, alerting caregivers instantly via app, text, or call.
4/ AI based New Paradigms in Breast Cancer Treatments
Bangalore-based OncoStemโs CanAssist-Breast uses AI + machine learning to analyze tumor biology and predict recurrence risk in early-stage hormone-positive breast cancer patients. The test evaluates 5 protein biomarkers from tissue samples combined with clinical data, assigning a "low" or "high" recurrence score. This spares low-risk patients (~65% of cases) from unnecessary chemotherapy and its debilitating side effects โ solving a critical overtreatment problem in India where 70%+ patients historically received chemo preventively. |
Niramai (Non-Invasive Risk Assessment with Machine Intelligence) revolutionizes early breast cancer detection using thermal imaging and proprietary AI algorithms. Unlike mammography, itโs radiation-free, non-invasive, and effective for dense breastsโaddressing accessibility gaps in rural India. The AI analyzes thermal patterns to detect tumors as small as 5mm with 90%+ accuracy, making screenings affordable (โน500-800/test) and privacy-focused. Deployed in 100+ clinics across India, it tackles late diagnosis in low-resource settings. |  |
