Eight Roads Ventures, the global investment firm backed by Fidelity, has announced the third edition of Scale-Up Health’s annual healthcare conference, on September 4, 2024 in Mumbai with McKinsey & Company as knowledge partners.

Scale-Up Health, India’s first platform for healthcare and life sciences entrepreneurs and leaders, brings together the Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem to drive collaboration, build stronger networks and champion innovation.

The theme for the annual conference this year is “IndiaNXT: Disruptive Trends for 2025 & Beyond” and will focus on the global seismic shifts that have the potential to disrupt the healthcare and life sciences industry in India.

• The evolving treatment paradigm in oncology care

• The breakout success of GLP-1 drugs in the US and other parts of the world that has created a $100 billion global surge of these anti-obesity drugs; we’ll see panellists weigh in on whether they see India being swept up in the wave from a demand perspective and, if India can benefit from the opportunity

• Promises and challenges of the rising medtech industry

• The potential impact of global geopolitics and impending regulations on the Indian CDMO industry. Exclusively for the event, McKinsey & Company will reveal the results of its Global and India CDMO Survey
