This has been possible due to the recent scientific and technological advancements coupled with an ageing population, expansion in the emerging markets and an exponential increase in the mainstream adoption of digital technologies. The industry now has a renewed platform to revive its fortunes. This transition has opened up new opportunities for development. Companies are seen adopting proactive strategies that allow them to maximize value from prior investments and generate new values by embracing new technologies, systems and best practices. Along with these companies, a new breed of start-ups is preparing for the future by embracing next-gen technologies, systems and best practices. With around 18 per cent of life sciences start-ups have unique products and services, it said that 82 percent of such life sciences start-ups offer improved affordability, accessibility and efficiency in their products and services leveraging emerging technology. In fact, these start-ups are focused on discovering new, cutting-edge precision medicines using state-of-the-art technologies, and hastening exploratory clinical studies in collaboration with major medical centres in India that provide unique access to treatment-naive patients. In a nutshell, they are defining and measuring health outcomes and are leveraging opportunities and navigating challenges to carve a niche in the industry. Taking into account the developments, we have featured a list of "10 Best Startups in Life Sciences" in our current edition.
