● Panel 3 — Funding the Future of Healthcare: CSR, public-private partnerships, and the shift from fragmented initiatives to sustained, outcomes-driven programs.
● Panel 4 — Integrating the Ecosystem for Long-Term Clinical Outcomes: policy, community health, and collaboration between industry and academia to remove structural bottlenecks.
The program also includes a patient testimonial and a fundraising appeal from CPR Co-Founder Dr. Satya Garimella, underscoring the human impact behind the policy conversation.
Leadership Perspective
“As a practicing cardiologist in the United States, I’ve seen what well-resourced critical care can achieve — and during the pandemic, I saw firsthand how quickly that gap becomes a matter of life and death in under-resourced hospitals across India,” said Dr. Satya Garimella, Co-Founder of CPR and cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist at Baptist Health Floyd in Louisville, USA. “India Health Forward 2047 is about moving beyond emergency response to build the systems, infrastructure, and partnerships that ensure no patient is denied critical care because of where they live.”
“CPR was born out of urgency, but our long-term work has always been about durability — moving healthcare investment from one-off interventions to sustained, scalable programs,” said Krishna Kottapalli, Co-Founder of CPR and healthcare entrepreneur. “This summit brings together the builders, funders, and policymakers who can make that shift real, and we’re proud to create the platform for that conversation.”
