Dr. Nene emphasized the transformative role of AI and predictive technologies in reshaping healthcare delivery in India, especially in underserved areas. As he noted, "It's about speaking to patients in a way that reassures them, makes them feel good, and gives them hope that they will get better. I came back to India because I saw a huge opportunity to make a direct difference in the lives of patients here. I see AI as a great leveller. India is embracing technology in remarkable ways, with its reach now extending across the country. We have AI in our pockets. In the next five years, agentic AI will play a vital role in detecting and assisting with the treatment of diseases that traditionally required highly specialised expertise."
Hirak Bose, Senior Vice President, Lupin, emphasized the company's comprehensive approach to healthcare transformation during his address on equitable healthcare delivery across India, particularly in underserved regions. He stated, "Our mission will continue to be, number one, awareness -- where we can make more and more people aware of their health conditions so they come to the doctor's clinic early, are detected early, and treated early. The second will be diagnosis, followed by adherence and accessibility. At Lupin, we want to work on the major point that we catalyze treatments that transform hope into healing. That is our clear purpose, and the entire Lupin team is committed to working toward it."
