| Summary: | International Finance Corporation (IFC)
defines inclusive business models (IBM) as enterprises that
help expand access to goods, services, and livelihood
opportunities to those at the base of the pyramid in
commercially viable, scalable ways. The context of India -
poor health indicators, a globalized economy, the
government’s willingness to work with the private sector,
and recognition of the poor as clients rather than
beneficiaries - has led to the emergence of inclusive
business models in the Indian economy. A number of
for-profit and not-for-profit organizations have emerged as
inclusive business models in India. Also, many organizations
work with the government to provide healthcare services
through public-private partnership (PPP) models. This IFC
and Wadhwani Initiative for Sustainable Healthcare (WISH)
study provides an overview of the landscape of inclusive
business models in the healthcare sector. It includes
challenges they face, strategies they adopt to succeed, and
suggestions on how the ecosystem can enable and facilitate
their growth. |
