From McKinsey Insights: What does the future hold for India? https://lnkd.in/gfceUaFJ The sheer scale of India’s economy—and the scale of the challenges it faces—means that innovation in any sector stands to have a huge impact... One in five companies was able to double its revenue every five years and quadruple it in ten. This growth rate is more than two and a half times the GDP growth rate during the same period—and can act as a catalyst for GDP growth more generally.

Dr Reddy is well known name in the pharma space, the Indian Company has over several decades built a sizeable global generics business but has in more recent years invested in developing an innovative medicines business. The company caught my eye last week when they announced the launch of DTx product Nerivio in Europe to treat migraine. The product was launched in India in 2023 and the launch in Europe represents an expansion of business model to new markets (info here: https://lnkd.in/gBXvdiHU). Literally 2 weeks later the company announces the launch of a second DTx product, this time for the management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) via an integrated care model. I was surprised by these moves firstly because Dr Reddy is more well known for its generics business and not innovative solutions. Secondly the company is using an integrated care model rather than just selling the DTx product. This is eye opening since pharma companies don't really have that much expertise managing patients, their core competency rests in selling drugs to doctors and other medical channels. To put this into context Dr Reddy is putting together a care program that involves coordinating the use of a team of nutritionists, psychologists and health coaches. It also is designed to work closely with clinicians by supporting patients receiving standard of clinical care. The program ticks a number of important boxes in the use of digital health products; (i) work in collaboration with HCPs, (ii) be interoperable, (iii) deliver personalised care, (iv) provide an holistic care model. The last four points sum-up Peach Health Asia's approach to commercialising patient facing digital health products in Asia. Its great to see innovation on the digital health front coming out of different parts of the world, and as I've said before for those interested in this space India is place to keep an eye on. #Digitalhealth #digitaltherapeutics #digitalhealthcare

India's GLP-1 market is promising to improve diabetes management, but key barriers need addressing. According to GRG Health’s recent study, while GLP-1 therapies offer enhanced glycemic control and weight management, challenges like high costs, limited accessibility, and low awareness restrict broader adoption. The study highlights that diabetologists and endocrinologists primarily drive prescriptions, with general practitioners favoring traditional treatments. To unlock the potential of this market, targeted strategies such as cost reductions, education programs, and patient awareness initiatives are essential. Additionally, enhancing distribution and accessibility, especially in rural areas, is critical. Collaborative efforts among pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, and policymakers can drive market growth and improve patient outcomes. #DiabetesManagement #GLP1Therapies #Pharmaceuticals #HealthcareInnovation #PatientOutcomes #ChronicDiseaseCare #MarketGrowth #Endocrinology #HealthcareAccess #Diabetology #PatientAwareness #HealthEquity #RuralHealthcare #MedicalResearch #HealthcareIndia

💊 Reimagining Field Force Engagements to Compete in a Digital-First World A recent study by ZS analyzes the future of field engagement strategies. As pharma's landscape evolves, the study highlights the imperative for life sciences companies to recalibrate field engagement strategies. Insights reveal a crucial shift towards customer-centricity amidst constrained access, frequent launches, and digital evolution. The industry is over-indexed on face-to-face interactions and it should embrace an hybrid approach that demands: 🔴 enhanced digital capabilities, 🔴 innovative operating models, 🔴 predictive intelligence integration, 🔴 and robust training programs. It's time for the industry to pivot towards more purposeful organizational collaboration and elevate the modality of interactions. Are life sciences prepared to navigate this transformative journey?

A simple and interesting book by dear Anuradha Buvaraagan. "The primary objective of this book is to get across the following extremely important message, which will help unlock up the gates to happiness, peace, and optimal health. An optimistic mindset, also known as positive thinking, involves emphasising the positive aspects of any given circumstance. The greatest approach to inwardly motivating oneself to follow our dreams is to think positively. It offers contentment, inner serenity, prosperity, stronger bonds with others, greater health, and happiness. Additionally, it facilitates the flow of daily life and adds brightness and promise to it. The secret to humanity's soul lies within Mother Nature, in all her splendour and beauty. Actually, we are bonded and guided by her inherent grandeur and harmony. Mother Earth has much to teach us about the value of stillness and meditation. Through the practice of unconditional sharing and receiving, we can develop the ability to provide and accept safe haven from others. I pray for universal synchronisation. Best regards, Anuradha" I recommend it. please check it on this Amazon link https://amzn.eu/d/1x6rfHe

Why Accessibility is an Ethical Imperative In a country as diverse as India, healthcare inequality is a persistent challenge. If gene therapy remains the privilege of the wealthy, it risks exacerbating existing social and economic disparities. Everyone, regardless of their financial background, should have the right to access life-saving treatments. Gene therapy, with its potential to cure or dramatically alleviate chronic conditions, must not become a tool that further entrenches healthcare inequity. What Needs to Be Done 1. Government Subsidies and Pricing Regulations: The Indian government must consider policies that subsidize the cost of gene therapies, similar to how it has provided free or affordable access to essential medicines like antiretrovirals for HIV patients. Pricing regulations could also ensure that pharmaceutical companies do not charge exorbitant rates. 2. Public-Private Partnerships: Collaborative efforts between the government and private industry can help scale production, streamline research, and lower costs. In India, where government-funded health schemes such as Ayushman Bharat are beginning to improve healthcare access, incorporating gene therapy into such frameworks could be a game-changer. 3. Local Research and Development: Encouraging local R&D in gene therapy through increased funding for biotechnology and medical institutions would help reduce dependency on expensive foreign treatments. India’s strength in the generic pharmaceutical industry proves that it has the potential to become a global hub for affordable gene therapies as well. 4. Raising Awareness and Education: Educating both healthcare professionals and the general public about gene therapy’s potential is essential. Widespread understanding can lead to greater acceptance, demand for fair pricing, and pressure on policymakers to ensure broader access. A Call to Action India’s healthcare system is already under strain due to the dual burden of infectious and non-communicable diseases. However, gene therapy presents an opportunity to revolutionize treatment for genetic disorders and chronic illnesses. To fully realize this potential, it is critical that these treatments be accessible to everyone, not just the privileged few. Access to gene therapy should not be a matter of wealth but a matter of human rights. In a country committed to equity and inclusive growth, ensuring universal access to gene therapy can pave the way for a healthier, more equitable future.

A recent study published in The Lancet highlights significant concerns about physical fitness and obesity in India. The study reveals that the prevalence of obesity among adults in India has more than doubled since 1990, with India ranking 180th out of 197 countries for men with obesity and 182nd for women. This double burden of both obesity and underweight issues presents a major health challenge.​ (India Today - https://lnkd.in/dCmXxKjd) While the Lancet study primarily focuses on physical health, which I believe is directly proportional to mental health and workplace perceptions. Certain misconceptions negatively impact quality of life and employee productivity, setting poor corporate examples.... Long office hours are directly proportional to the hard work. Taking less leaves or no leaves are celebrated. Measuring efficiency by time spent rather than productivity. Many employees preferring leave reimbursements over taking actual holidays. We need to change these perceptions to promote a healthier mind, body, and a more efficient workforce The Lancet #HealthyLife #worklifebalance And the list goes on..
