Financial health is an important part of our overall health and wellness. 💙 As many of us rush to file our ITRs before the deadline, here’s a reminder to use this moment to plan for the rest of the financial year too. From investments, savings and expenses to health checks, insurance and long-term goals - a little planning today can go a long way. Just ask our finance star, Binay! His DMs may be flooded with questions, but he’s always got a plan. 🌟 This financial year, #BeLikeBinay.

The 3 PM slouch hits us all and hits us hard. Working comfortably feels good but working correctly feels healthy. We may not realise it but our 9-5 posture defines our long term health, our focus and overall our personality. Therefore, it’s crucial we take active measures: one posture at a time. #3PMPosture #PostureCorrection #Healthcare

"Volume is not value. Reputation is not a result." For too long, the success of private care in India has been judged by bed counts and doctor popularity rather than measurable patient outcomes. In my recent feature with IndiaMedToday, I break down why India urgently needs an Outcomes Revolution. If we want to curb catastrophic out-of-pocket medical expenditure and build long-term trust, we must align our healthcare mechanics around Value-Based Care where clinical efficacy, quality metrics, and patient safety dictate economic rewards. Thank you, IndiaMedToday, for championing this conversation. 🔗 Full article link: https://lnkd.in/dastb_fn #ValueBasedCare #HealthEconomics #DigitalHealth #Practo #HealthSystems #IndiaMedToday #HealthcareQuality
Dr. Vishal Jani (Head of Research, Practo): India’s healthcare conversation is shifting from reputation to results. The real measure of progress lies in better outcomes, stronger quality of care, and a system that truly puts patients first.

LIVE from #FEHealthcare2026 | Siddhartha Nihalani, Co-Founder, Practo says, "The rise in insurance penetration is accelerating the adoption of preventive healthcare in India." He also noted that the insurers are increasingly encouraging preventive health check-ups, while digital platforms are making access to trusted doctors and specialists easier. He highlighted a sharp rise in searches for diabetes, hypertension and cardiac care, reflecting India's growing burden of lifestyle diseases. Looking ahead, he said AI agents and digital health assistants will increasingly guide patients through their healthcare journey, but trust, quality and accessibility will remain the key differentiators. "Today, most preventive health check-ups in India are still payer-sponsored, while self-funded preventive care remains a relatively small segment" - says Nihalani.
