Growth & Strategy
Healthcare growth strategy in India is usually written about by consultants. This section is the operator’s account of owning the topline in a hospital group: the revenue engine and the three demand pools it runs on, reading the monthly P&L pack, pricing, sales, and launching new verticals and care formats with a P&L attached. It covers Centres of Excellence from the digital and brand side — oncology, transplant, genomics, mental health, cardiac — the international patient funnel as a digital product, capital cases built from demand evidence, brand architecture across a multi-unit group, and innovation that survives contact with finance. The position throughout is the same: the person who built the demand and digital engine, and grew into owning the P&L conversations behind it.
