Impact of Covid-19 on Indian healthtech ecosystem

• Indian Healthtech market is at its nascent stage (US$ 1.6B out of total healthcare market of US$ 159B); Expected to become an integral part of the overall healthcare ecosystem ‒ Private investment in Healthtech has risen from US$ 81M in 2014 to US$ 723M in 2019

• With the advent of Covid-19 and the consequent lockdown, healthtech has seen a mixed response; e-pharmacy and telemedicine are expected to perform better compared to wellness service providers, EMR, etc. ‒ E-Pharmacy has experienced growth due to home delivery of medicines which will drive consumer behaviour ‒ Recent push for telemedicine by Govt. of post outbreak could lead to wide adoption of e-health services in the long run ‒ Wellness services would require to re-orient the business model - shift of focus from retail-based gym/yoga centers to virtual classes ‒ Importance of medical records in driving efficient clinical outcomes would come to light (more efficient care eliminating workload on frontline staff) which will drive growth of EMR/EHR ‒ Drivers of growth for Healthtech such as increasing burden of chronic diseases, rising internet penetration, need for higher accessibility, and increasing innovation across value chain continue to remain strong ‒ Healthtech solutions support patient access to treatment and can significantly reduce the burden on existing healthcare infrastructure during and after the pandemic

• Despite the recent economic slowdown and Covid-19 shock, Healthtech remains a significant short to medium term bet. Indian Healthtech ecosystem remains capital starved and enough dry powder is waiting to be deployed

• We recommend a 5-point agenda for Healthtech to tide over the Covid-19 challenges and emerge winners: ‒ Reduce cost and preserve cash to navigate through these troubled waters → Demand for technology enabled healthcare solutions expected to bounce back strongly in next 6-12 months ‒ Utilize the opportunity to innovate healthcare delivery channels and increase patient / customer acquisition ‒ Manage people assets: strike a balance between training / streamlining clinical and non-clinical processes and careful right-sizing ‒ Re-evaluate business model in the new normal: aspire for leadership in the new normal → Reassess GTM strategy with changing consumer behavior and plan for implementation once the uncertainty fades ‒ Communicate proactively and frequently with employees, care providers, service and value chain partners, investors, etc.
