6th September 2024 – NSRCEL IIM Bangalore, in collaboration with DailyRounds, announces the launch of their Healthcare Incubation Program. This partnership, part of DailyRounds’ CSR initiative, aims to support early-stage startups. It focuses on bringing to life innovations that solve unique problems in the field of healthcare.
The program will help healthcare innovators and entrepreneurs go from lab tested to market ready products. It takes the founders through a journey where they will receive complete support, including design thinking, mentorship by industry experts, business development guidance, building out their go-to market strategy, teach them how to run B2B and D2C sales, provide networking opportunities, access to potential funding sources, and even access to hospitals and labs for clinical trials and pilot projects.
DailyRounds—the company itself was one such idea by Dr. Deepu Sebin back in 2013. From what started as an email group for doctors, the company today uses technology to advance and broaden access to medical education in the country. This partnership aims to build the next wave of such healthcare entrepreneurs who have the potential to address niche, yet challenging issues.
In the healthcare sector, the core challenges revolve around data, operations, logistics, and enhancing consumer experience and engagement. The program primarily focuses on early-stage startups prepared to tackle problems in these critical areas.
“We are excited to launch our Healthcare Incubation Program in partnership with DailyRounds. This collaboration underscores our commitment to supporting healthcare startups that have the potential to make a significant impact on the healthcare landscape in India,” said Anand Sri Ganesh, CEO of NSRCEL.
DailyRounds, known for its expertise in medical education and technology, brings valuable industry insights and resources to the program. This partnership reflects a shared vision of nurturing new ideas and tackling important healthcare challenges through entrepreneurship. It looks for ideas that can grow, have a social impact, and are sustainable.
“We are thrilled to partner with NSRCEL to support healthcare startups addressing niche problems that may not attract traditional investments but have the potential to improve healthcare. By leveraging technology, we aim to empower passionate healthcare practitioners to innovate and drive meaningful change. This program is our commitment to nurturing the next wave of healthcare entrepreneurs,” said Vineet Bagri, CEO of DailyRounds.
The selected startups who are part of the program are working in a variety of fields, including Medical Devices, Healthcare Tech, Healthcare Services, Bio Technology, Assistance Tech, Aerospace & Defense, and Health & Wellness.
