MedTech Day 2026, hosted by NSRCEL and DailyRounds spotlighted how homegrown startups are not just imagining the future of healthcare but building it. From AI-driven diagnostics that cut analysis times by 80% to multi-functional surgical instruments designed and manufactured in India, these innovators are proving that world-class healthcare solutions can be created, tested, and scaled locally and deployed globally.
Startups incubated under NSRCEL’s Healthcare Incubation Programme are transforming India’s healthcare landscape, moving rapidly from ideas to proof-of-concept and market-ready solutions. NSRCEL, through its healthcare-focused incubation initiatives, continues to create pathways for indigenous innovation through easing regulatory hurdles, funding readiness, market access, and global expansion. The event, hosted in partnership with DailyRounds, brought together startup founders, hospitals, investors, government and industry leaders to accelerate the country’s medtech ecosystem.
Attendees included Varun Dubey, founder & CEO, Superhealth, Manisha Kumar, COO, South Region, Karnataka, HealthCare Global (HCG), and Chaitanya Sarawate, president & CEO - India and South Asia, GE Healthcare & MD, Wipro-GE among others who shared perspectives on India’s evolving healthcare landscape.
The event featured startup showcases, venture pitches, and ecosystem roundtables, covering topics such as regulatory readiness, procurement pathways, pilot deployments, and commercialization strategies. Startups across medical devices, digital health, AI-powered solutions, digital therapeutics, and advanced drug delivery systems demonstrated India’s growing healthcare innovation capabilities.
“India’s healthcare innovation ecosystem is entering a pivotal phase. Startups are not only building breakthrough technologies but also addressing fundamental challenges around access, affordability, and scalability. Platforms like MedTech Day are enabling startups to move faster from lab to real-world impact while strengthening India’s indigenous medtech capabilities,” said Anand Sri Ganesh, CEO, NSRCEL.
Dr Arjun A L, senior vice president, DailyRounds, noted “Medtech Day was an enriching platform for healthcare founders, bringing together eminent voices from medical device companies, hospitals, incubators, academia, and successful startups. Through shared experiences and insights, the initiative addressed fundamental challenges in building healthcare ventures while enabling founders to learn, collaborate, and build meaningful connections.”
