  5. Building India’s Preventive Healthcare Ecosystem - The Healthians Way

    Building India’s Preventive Healthcare Ecosystem - The Healthians Way

    When Deepak Sahni realised that the only way to fix India's Diagnostic Care Ecosystem was to go full-stack, he shut down a 30-city operation and rebuilt Healthians from a single city, with one goal: To make preventive care the default, not the afterthought. In this episode of The Prognosis Podcast, our Founder & CEO Vivek Sinha goes deep with Deepak Sahni, Founder & CEO of Healthians, one of India's largest diagnostic networks. Key themes explored: → The broken truth behind India's diagnostic market → Why chronic & preventive care — not sick care — is India's real diagnostic engine →  How transparency is the game changer in diagnostic care → Solving the toughest part: logistics → The Brand Philosophy: "Adding 10 healthy years to every Indian's life" → The founder's journey: conviction, pivots & burnout What started as a single-city pivot is now serving millions across India — and more importantly, it's shifting how we think about healthcare itself: from reactive treatment to proactive prevention. This isn't just about diagnostic care. It's about reshaping the very idea of healthcare in India — from cure-focused to prevention-first, from mistrust to transparency. A masterclass in consumer-first healthcare, operational innovation, and purpose-driven building.
