As India prepares for the Union Budget 2025-26 announcement, Dr. Harshit Jain, Founder & Global CEO of Doceree, highlighted his expectations for the healthcare technology sector. With 211 new healthcare startups and 4,000 others adopting AI and machine learning, health-tech investments have seen a remarkable 28.03% growth over the past year. Dr. Jain believes the budget should sustain this momentum by focusing on empowering healthcare entrepreneurs.
“The upcoming budget should prioritize expanding India’s health-tech ecosystem through substantial tax relief and targeted incentives. These measures can amplify the benefits of government initiatives like the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission,” Dr. Jain stated. He stressed the need for a dedicated financial pool to foster R&D for advanced drugs, enabling improved patient outcomes while reducing clinical trial costs.
Additionally, Dr. Jain advocated for allocating resources to healthcare data management to boost digital adoption across the sector. “Delivering more personalized and accessible healthcare to underserved citizens can strengthen India’s position as a global leader in health-tech innovation,” he added.
Dr. Jain reaffirmed Doceree’s commitment to supporting government initiatives to digitalize India’s healthcare infrastructure, leveraging technology to revolutionize treatment outcomes. With Union Budget 2025-26 expected to address critical needs, the health-tech sector anticipates transformative policies to further accelerate its growth trajectory.
