Lack of domestic capital is hampering early stage healthtech startups in India, according to IAN's Padmaja Ruparel.
Lack of funding has led to a slowdown in the healthtech sector, with Indian startups losing out to overseas players.
Ruparel advises healthtech founders to focus on finance and business aspects to make their ventures viable.
Indian healthtech startups raised $0.7 Bn funding last year, facing scaling and funding challenges due to established players and lack of exit opportunities.
