NSRCEL, in collaboration with DailyRounds, is supporting early-stage healthcare startups in the ideation to proof-of-concept stage that have the potential to increase access and affordability of healthcare in India.
The program focuses on healthcare innovators, health tech and digital health startups, biotech, medtech, public health, startups in affordable healthcare, and elderly and chronic care.
This structured 5-month incubation program is designed to guide healthcare entrepreneurs and innovators from the ‘lab to the market’ by offering comprehensive support across multiple facets of startup development. Participants will benefit from curated online sessions and masterclasses led by sector and industry experts, which are tailored to refine problem statements, value propositions, go-to-market strategies, business models, and essential business skills.
In addition to learning opportunities, startups gain access to product innovation labs, lab suites, and dedicated workspaces, enabling hands-on development and experimentation. The program also provides one-on-one mentoring, regulatory, IP, legal, and finance advisory to address critical aspects of startup growth.
Another key feature is access to a hospital network, which offers real-world testing environments, pilot opportunities, and potential partnerships. Early-stage startups can also leverage investor connects and grant opportunities to accelerate their growth and scale their impact.
The program is open to startups at various stages, including those with a prototype, minimum viable product (MVP), pilot, or early revenue of less than Rs 12 lakhs in ARR. This inclusivity ensures that a wide range of healthcare innovators can participate and benefit from the program’s ecosystem of expertise and resources.
