Let’s cut the fluff. India’s healthcare sector is bleeding—$2.2 million per data breach in 2023, 1.9 million patient records exposed between 2021 and 2023, and a global ranking as one of the top three most hacked healthcare systems (IBM Security Report, CERT-In, Cyfirma, Check Point Research). 

By 2026, 2 million Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices will be live in Indian hospitals, each one a wide-open door for cybercriminals. You’re either part of the solution or you’re watching the collapse of India’s digital health revolution from the sidelines.

You don’t get to sit this one out. The 16th Elets Healthcare Innovation Summit & Awards 2025, happening July 17, 2025, at Le Meridien, Hyderabad, isn’t just another conference. It’s the war room where 400+ of India’s sharpest healthcare minds- CIOs, IT heads, HealthTech CEOs, and National Digital Health Mission policymakers, who will lock in the strategies to shield India’s $450 billion healthcare ecosystem. 

The theme? Digitising Healthcare and Delivering Innovation. 

The mission? To make sure your hospital, your tech, and your data don’t become the next headline.

Here’s the deal: If you’re not at this summit, you’re not in the game. And in a world where data is the new drug and hospitals are the new battlegrounds, sitting out isn’t just dumb—it’s catastrophic.

The Stakes Are Brutal

Let’s talk numbers, because they don’t lie:

• $2.2 million: The average cost of a single healthcare data breach in India (2023). That’s not pocket change—that’s your budget, your reputation, your patients’ trust.
• 1.9 million: Patient records leaked from 2021 to 2023. Every exposed record is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
• Top 3 globally: India’s healthcare systems are a hacker’s playground, per Check Point Research.
• 2 million+ IoMT devices: By 2026, every connected device in your hospital is a ticking time bomb unless you secure it now.

India’s racing toward a digital health revolution—Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), eSanjeevani, AI-driven diagnostics, and HMIS are changing the game. But every step forward is a step closer to disaster if your cybersecurity isn’t bulletproof. Hackers don’t care about your mission to save lives. They care about your data. And they’re winning.

The cost of doing nothing? Millions in losses, eroded patient trust, and a front-row seat to the collapse of your digital infrastructure. You can’t afford to be naive.

Why This Summit Is Your Only Shot

The 16th Elets Healthcare Innovation Summit isn’t a feel-good networking event. It’s a high-stakes, invite-only gathering of the people who actually move the needle in Indian healthcare. This is where you’ll get the tools, connections, and strategies to stop cyberattacks in their tracks. Here’s what you’re getting:

• AI/ML Threat Detection: Learn how to use artificial intelligence to spot and neutralize cyber threats before they gut your hospital’s operations.
• Cyber-Resilient Health Stack: Fortify ABDM, eSanjeevani, and HMIS against attacks that could cripple India’s digital health backbone.
• IoMT Security: Lock down every connected medical device—because one weak link can bring your entire system down.
• DPDPA Compliance: Get ahead of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act and avoid the regulatory hammer that’s coming.
• Zero Trust IT: Adopt the “never trust, always verify” mindset to eliminate vulnerabilities in your network. No exceptions.

And here’s the kicker: a live power panel on the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA). This isn’t some academic discussion—it’s a first look at how the FTA will rewrite the rules for medical device tariffs, pharma trade, R&D, and cross-border investments. Miss this, and you’re flying blind into the biggest shake-up in the healthcare trade this decade.

Who’s In the Room?

You’re not networking with middle managers here. You’re rubbing shoulders with:

• Pankaj Gautam, Group CIO, Rainbow Children’s Hospital
• Nanda Kishore, CIO, Continental Hospitals
• Siva Subrahmanyam Yedlapalli, Group CIO, STAR Hospitals
• Yogendra Yadav, Director of IT, Sai Life Sciences Ltd
• Sudheer Reddy Muppidi, Head IT, Prathima Group of Hospitals and Medical College
• M Prabhakar Rao, Associate Vice President IT & IS, Natco Pharma Limited

These are the people building the future of healthcare security. They’re not here to talk theory—they’re here to solve problems. And they’re looking for partners who can keep up.

Why Your Brand Can’t Afford to Miss This

Let’s be real: if you’re in HealthTech or cybersecurity, skipping this summit is like burning money. Here’s what you get by showing up:

• Position yourself as the go-to cybersecurity leader: Stand out as the one who secures India’s digital health future.
• Close deals with decision-makers: Connect directly with 400+ hospital CIOs, IT heads, and policymakers who control budgets.
• Showcase your tech: Demo your solutions to the most influential stakeholders in Indian healthcare.
• Win big at the Healthcare Innovation Awards: Get recognised as a game-changer in a $450 billion industry.
• Own the narrative: Align your brand with trust, resilience, and the future of smart healthcare.

Oh, and you’ll also get in on the launch of eHealth Magazine’s special edition. This isn’t just a magazine—it’s the playbook for India’s digital health revolution. Packed with exclusive interviews, case studies, and insights on AI, genomics, and preventive care, it’s your chance to be part of the story that’s shaping a $450 billion market.

The Cost of Saying No

Let’s flip the script. What happens if you don’t show up?

• Your competitors will be in the room, closing deals with the CIOs and policymakers you need.
• You’ll miss the India-UK FTA insights, leaving you scrambling to catch up when the rules change.
• Your brand stays invisible while others become synonymous with trust and innovation.
• Another hospital gets hacked, and you’re left explaining why your solution wasn’t there to stop it.

Saying no isn’t just a missed opportunity—it’s a death sentence for your relevance in India’s healthcare ecosystem. The summit is July 17, 2025, in Hyderabad. 

One day. One room. One chance to secure your place in the future of healthcare.
