Increased investments from private equity, venture capital, and strategic players are fuelling expansion across hospitals, diagnostics, digital health, and biotech, while technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), telemedicine, and data-driven care models are improving efficiency, access, and patient outcomes.

Ajay Mahipal, co-founder & general partner, HealthKois, said that the country's healthcare investment landscape in 2025 is characterized by a convergence of robust private capital and technological acceleration, yet remains constrained by fundamental systemic challenges, notably low public funding and escalating costs. In 2026, investors should anticipate sustained consolidation, deeper penetration into secondary markets, and the maturation of health-tech, all while navigating regulatory pressures and persistent medical inflation.
