Intro

India's ascending economy has brought with it a stirring transition in the healthcare sector. From a stagnant and perfunctory industry, today, it is progressively emerging as a vibrant and significant space. The mounting demand and the numerous benefits from healthcare are too large to be ignored. The evolution in the structure of how healthcare is being delivered also cannot be overlooked. Healthcare delivery is becoming corporatized with the emergence of healthcare conglomerates changing the rules of the game.

However, the shortfall in corresponding delivery mechanisms and challenging logistics, of course, present great opportunities. Established players as well as new entrants are striding in, eager to capitalize on this exponential growth. The escalating healthcare market has made the Indian healthcare industry an attractive investment proposition.

This conference attempts to examine how the PE players can gain from the gaping opportunities. Players are innovatively approaching new technologies, public private partnerships and creative financing vehicles in the healthcare space. This conference is a common forum for all the relevant stakeholders, including legal, regulatory, advisory, industry players and fund managers to address these issues.

Key Issues For The Conference

An important catalyst for growth: Investments Opportunities in enhancing Health Insurance penetration
Technology rising to prominence: Reaping the full benefits of IT usage and the investment opportunities presented
New models of delivery systems: Shift in the Government of India's approach to involve private sector and private equity in delivery mechanism
Indicators of growth: Rising activity of private equity and venture capitalists in diagnostic and hospital chains and manufacturing of medical devices

What is Web Casting?

The IVCJ conferences are now going places, literally. Driven by the success of these information disseminating events, IVCJ has undertaken a conscious decision to webcast all its conferences live! This service will start from the IVCJ's forthcoming Conference on 2nd Healthcare Investment Forum 2008 – Opening New Doors, scheduled on 11 th March, 2008, at J W Marriott, Mumbai.

Having grown to acquire a high stature, today, IVCJ's conferences are recognised as a platform of excellence for all the stakeholders in the PE marketplace. The live webcast of these events will enable IVCJ to reach out to a wider audience, outside Mumbai as well as overseas. With the hurdles of time and geographical constraints having disappeared, prospective delegates from all over the world can actively participate in these conferences. And these are more than just another one sided audio visual experience! Furthermore, a recorded version of the conference will also be made available on demand across different time-zones for a period of 30 days from the day of the event.

With the evolution of Broadband, webcasting has become more powerful, widespread and affordable. The service is well equipped with complete security, two-way interactivity and flexible user customisable options. ‘We have tried to make the most of technology to break away from the need of physical presence.' says Mr. Manoj Saha, Managing Editor, IVCJ. ‘This will allow many more delegates to participate from outside India.'
