The healthcare sector in India is experiencing a boom phase and represents an attractive investment opportunity for private equity and venture capital firms. Demand is growing due to factors like rising incomes, an aging population, and lifestyle diseases. However, there is also a large supply shortage in terms of infrastructure and medical professionals. This mismatch will require over $40 billion in investments to address. Recent deals in the healthcare space have seen many large investments and provided healthy returns to investors. Going forward, PE/VC firms will continue to invest heavily in innovative new business models in the growing Indian healthcare industry.
