India maintains a leadership position in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes and cancer. "We are addressing diseases in India with locally made products," said Mr Raja Venkataraman, Vice-Chairman and MD, Philips India.

The country currently has 60 million CVD patients, 2 million cancer patients, and leads in orthopedic ailments.

There are 4.3 million deaths globally due to indoor air pollution. Of this, 1.3 million deaths are associated with India. According to a recent study, 27.5% of under-five infant mortality in India is because of indoor air pollution.

India is also home to 22 million COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patients, and about 8 million of them in stage-3 or stage-4 condition. Out of the 8 million, 1.3 to 1.4 million patients hail from metros like Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, and Hyderabad. Smoking is said to be a major contributing factor for COPD.

"We aim to touch 3 billion lives by 2025. That's our vision," explained Mr V Raja. "We have designed products to suit the Indian market. In healthcare, it is ironical that there are no incentives for making in India. The Government keeps increasing the import duty on medical equipments. It doesn't work that way. We need technology, market, cost competitiveness and an ecosystem which will enable making it for the benefit of patients and the industry. In fact, years ago, the Government created a synergistic ecosystem for the software industry by providing lands, incentives, and an overall conducive ecosystem leading to the huge success of that industry. If the same would have been offered to the healthcare sector, a similar success story would have repeated in India."

Mr Raja took on his new role at Philips in December 2015.

In the personal healthcare area, 50% of the company's portfolio is manufactured in India. "In the next 2 to 3 years, we aim to take it to 75%," added Mr A D A Ratnam, President, Personal Health and Head, Brand, Communications and Digital, Philips India.

In September 2014, the Dutch conglomerate Philips NV split into two separate entities -- Philips HealthTech-Lifestyle and Philips Lighting.

The latter made a shining IPO debut on May 27, 2016.
