Emerging Innovations in Healthcare Delivery
Annual global spending on healthcare is estimated to be approximately $5.5 Trillion, or about 9% of world GDP. Despite this huge annual spending, models of healthcare around the world remain suboptimal, resulting in high cost and poor outcomes. Given India's diversity, income inequality, and limited accessibility, the challenges of healthcare delivery are rendered even more daunting. Such challenges are being met with tremendous innovation in the systemic delivery of healthcare - oriented towards improving quality, enhancing accessibility and reducing costs. This panel will focus on ideas and innovations from India that have the potential to help transform the paradigms in which healthcare is delivered around the world.
Creating Value at the Base of the Pyramid
Creating and marketing products to the 4 billion people at the base of the economic pyramid (BoP) calls for sustainable innovation that is economically viable, as models adopted in developed nations are usually not replicable. Many international companies in the last decade have developed and marketed innovative products and services to the BoP, and have created sustainable profits. This panel will focus on how to look at opportunities at the BoP and how to develop successful strategies to enter and grow in these markets. The panel discussion will feature various case examples from India covering a wide range of industries such as consumer products, consumer durables and telecommunications.
Bringing Indian Innovations to the World
With a wealth of engineering and scientific talent, India and China are poised to be the next global innovation core. The greatest challenge facing companies operating in these countries is how to manage the innovation process while effectively bringing them to the global marketplace. How do managers at the most innovative companies operating in India present their solutions to the rest of the world, and what challenges do they face while managing the creation of these innovations?
