What Customers Asked​

As part of its global innovation initiative, Medtronic partnered with Silicon Valley Innovation Center to conduct a high-impact India Immersion Learning Program, aimed at deepening understanding of the country’s fast-evolving healthcare landscape. The program was driven by Medtronic’s strategic curiosity about how India is addressing critical challenges in healthcare delivery through digital innovation, scalable models, and public-private collaboration. Medtronic leaders came with vital questions: how is India leveraging AI, telemedicine, and remote diagnostics to expand access in underserved regions? What role are local medtech startups and healthtech accelerators playing in solving large-scale public health issues? And how can global organizations like Medtronic align with these movements to co-create impactful solutions?

What We Did

To address these objectives, Silicon Valley Innovation Center designed and delivered an immersive, multi-day experience that connected Medtronic’s executive team with key players across India’s health innovation ecosystem. The program featured in-depth discussions with digital health pioneers, hospital administrators, government-backed innovation hubs, and leading academic researchers. Participants engaged in site visits and roundtable sessions that highlighted breakthrough approaches in affordable care, AI-enabled diagnostics, and mobile health platforms. Hands-on learning was complemented by strategic workshops on localization, agile innovation, and emerging partnership models tailored to the Indian context.

Results & Outcomes

The outcomes of the program were transformative. Medtronic executives returned with a nuanced understanding of India’s unique healthcare innovation drivers and identified real-world opportunities for collaboration, investment, and co-development. The program enabled the team to reframe global strategies through the lens of emerging market realities, unlocking new ideas for inclusive innovation. More broadly, the experience reinforced Medtronic’s commitment to shaping the future of healthcare by learning from and partnering with some of the world’s most dynamic innovation environments.
