The Changing Healthcare Landscape
India’s healthcare industry is still primarily dominated by traditional healthcare systems, but that is changing quickly with the onset and adoption of technology.
Telemedicine isn’t a new concept, but since last year, has seen countrywide adoption. A surge in new users repeat customers, and doctors, labs, clinics, and healthcare facilities – everyone coming online to connect remotely and safely.
India’s telemedicine market will reach more than $5 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 31% (source).
As demand for telemedicine and e-healthcare increases, new growth opportunities emerge for MedTech startups and healthcare companies in India. But to unlock maximum potential for growth and revenue creation, there are still challenges that need to be solved.

- Building platform awareness
Although time-consuming and resource-heavy, this is a critical stage for the early perception and adoption of any brand, business, or platform.
To ensure doctors and medical practitioners can understand the value, and adapt to a new platform, requires the right positioning, timing and personalized approach.

For MedTech companies, it’s a massive opportunity to tap into a growing demand to access quality healthcare, especially from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities of India.
The challenge is – keeping up with a pool of leads and servicing them quickly.
Further, inconsistent marketing leads data also complicates the outreach process for in-house teams, leading to wasted time and resources.

Use Case 3: Medicine and Service Reminders
Medicine sales doubled in the first months of the pandemic, adding more than 6 million people to online pharmacy platforms.
In just a span of a few months, the demand for online medicine delivery skyrocketed, leading to Indian e-pharmacy companies scaling resources in-house to meet the demand.
But the challenge is – following up with customers, and nudging them to use or reactivate their subscriptions is time-taking. Further, slow turnaround times can also lead to missed opportunities for revenue creation.
Reminder calls require persistence and personalization, and that too at scale.

- Integrate with your CRM to capture real-time campaign analytics.
- Upsell medical packages and subscriptions to repeat customers
