Mannuri Vamshi Krishna, Dr Sheetal Jindal, Dr Preeti Singh, Shishir Gupta, Sameer Moidin, Kunal Arya and Amjad Raza Khan share year-end perspectives on healthcare, mobility, mental health, IoT and digital finance
As 2025 draws to a close, the year stands out less for headline-grabbing disruption and more for the quieter operational shifts that reshaped how Indian companies build, scale, and sustain their businesses. Across healthcare, mental wellness, electric mobility, IoT, and digital finance, founders point to a common undercurrent: systems mattered more than speed, and discipline mattered more than noise.
For MedScore, the past year marked a fundamental change in how India’s healthcare supply chain approaches financial decision-making. According to Mannuri Vamshi Krishna, Founder and CEO, 2025 was when intuition-led credit practices gave way to real-time financial intelligence. Working closely with pharmaceutical distributors and retailers, MedScore observed how delayed payments and informal lending had long constrained access to essential medicines, particularly in non-metro markets. By introducing structured credit scoring and digital financial identities, the company saw stability in cash flows emerge as a critical foundation for stability in healthcare delivery itself. Looking ahead to 2026, MedScore plans to deepen ERP integrations and expand its scoring infrastructure to bring credit discipline further into India’s B2B pharma ecosystem.
In fertility care, Jindal IVF reflected a year shaped by growing patient confidence and steady clinical performance. Dr Sheetal Jindal, Senior Consultant and Medical Director, noted that 2025 saw a noticeable shift toward more informed decision-making among couples seeking fertility treatment. Increased demand for advanced diagnostics and consistent outcomes across IVF and IUI cycles pushed the centre to strengthen laboratory efficiency and treatment planning, while maintaining a clear focus on ethical and transparent care. The continued inflow of families travelling from across North India, she said, reinforced the importance of dependable results and clear communication as the basis for sustainable growth.
The year also saw mental health care move steadily toward more structured and preventive models. At Lissun, Dr Preeti Singh, Chief Medical Officer, observed rising demand for early-stage interventions, particularly for children and young adults. Challenges such as anxiety, developmental delays, burnout, and parenting stress became more visible, alongside greater involvement from families and caregivers in the therapeutic process. Technology-enabled tools played a growing role in extending care beyond clinic walls, but Dr Singh emphasised that empathy, clinical judgment, and sustained human connection remained central to effective outcomes. As 2026 approaches, Lissun expects greater focus on personalised care pathways and hybrid models that blend digital and in-person support.
In consumer technology and smart home adoption, Oakter described 2025 as a year of consolidation and proof. Shishir Gupta, Co-founder and CEO, said Indian households increasingly chose practical, durable, India-designed smart devices that simplified everyday living. The company crossed one million B2C customers since inception, added 145,000 new customers during the year, and recorded 55 percent year-on-year revenue growth while remaining profitable without external investment. Strong demand across online platforms is now driving preparations for wider category expansion, deeper retail presence, and a more focused direct-to-consumer strategy in the year ahead.
Electric mobility continued its steady advance, particularly beyond metro markets. For EVeium Smart Mobility, 2025 was defined by deeper localisation and tighter control over manufacturing and quality. Sameer Moidin, Founder and CEO, pointed to rising demand for durable, high-utility electric two-wheelers in Tier II and Tier III regions, prompting investments in battery and motor capabilities, supplier expansion, and stronger dealer partnerships. These efforts, he said, helped build trust across the customer and service network, setting the stage for scalable growth in 2026.
At Zelio E-Mobility, the year carried additional significance with the company’s SME IPO and BSE listing in September 2025. Kunal Arya, Co-founder and Managing Director, described the listing as a defining milestone that reinforced market confidence. A 77 percent increase in H1 FY26 revenue, alongside new launches and portfolio upgrades across low- and high-speed electric two-wheelers, underlined the company’s focus on innovation and scale as it transitions into its next phase as a listed EV brand.
Digital finance and cryptocurrency infrastructure also underwent recalibration. At Cashaa, Amjad Raza Khan, Co-founder and CEO, reflected on the company’s evolution toward sovereign finance. In 2025, Cashaa laid the groundwork for its Deobank model by developing compliant, non-custodial wallets and AI-powered Earn and Borrow products designed around over-collateralisation and regulatory discipline. With more than 130 global payment corridors activated and progress toward Visa card integration, the company views 2026 as a year when innovation and compliance converge to reshape how capital moves across borders.
Taken together, these reflections reveal a year where Indian companies across sectors prioritised operational clarity, trust, and resilience over rapid expansion alone. Whether in healthcare credit, fertility treatment, mental wellness, mobility, or financial infrastructure, 2025 marked a shift toward building foundations that can sustain growth over the long term. As these leaders look to 2026, the emphasis is clear: systems first, scale next.
