The Indian healthcare landscape is undergoing rapid transformation. At the heart of this change are leaders who straddle the worlds of finance, healthcare delivery, and strategy. In the latest episode of the Healthcare India Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down wth Madan Sampat, VP Supply Chain and Projects, whose journey offers lessons for entrepreneurs, investors, and healthcare professionals alike.

Madan begins by sharing a defining moment that shaped his leadership journey, revealing the principles and habits that guide him. He then takes us behind the scenes of hospital setup — from approvals and budgets to execution and supply chains, highlighting how resilience has become a crucial factor post-COVID.

On the financial front, he unpacks the complexity of pricing models, balancing affordability with profitability, and reflects on how investors view healthcare in India compared to other sectors. For entrepreneurs, his advice extends beyond valuations, urging them to prioritise long-term trust with investors.

Looking ahead, Madan discusses where he would place investments if given unlimited capital and leaves a powerful message for the next generation of leaders building careers at the intersection of healthcare and finance.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone shaping the future of healthcare in India.
