Healthcare
India's healthcare sector — at the intersection of universal health coverage ambitions, digital health transformation, and intensifying regulatory oversight — requires advisory partners who understand both clinical governance and commercial complexity.
The Healthcare
Landscape
India's healthcare sector is undergoing simultaneous transformation on multiple fronts. The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission is creating a unified health data infrastructure that will transform how providers, payers, and patients interact — but also introduces significant data governance and cybersecurity obligations. CDSCO is tightening medical device and pharmaceutical regulations in alignment with global standards. NABH and JCI accreditation requirements are raising clinical governance expectations for hospitals. And the sector's attractiveness to private equity — with $3B+ in annual healthcare investments — is driving M&A activity that requires sophisticated due diligence across regulatory, financial, and operational dimensions. SARC Global brings cross-disciplinary expertise to help hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, diagnostics chains, and health technology companies navigate this complexity and build sustainable, compliant operations.
Why Healthcare
Matters Now
The pressures reshaping this sector are structural, regulatory, and technological — and they are accelerating.
ABDM compliance, DPDP Act health data obligations, and state-specific telemedicine regulations are creating a fragmented regulatory landscape that digital health companies and hospital networks must navigate without clear precedent.
Healthcare institutions are high-value ransomware targets — patient data commands premium prices on dark web markets, and operational disruption has life-safety consequences. Most hospital IT environments were not built to withstand sophisticated cyber threats.
Private equity-backed consolidation is creating governance challenges: hospitals acquired across multiple states must harmonise billing practices, clinical protocols, and compliance frameworks — while satisfying investor reporting requirements and SEBI listing obligations.
Pharmaceutical transfer pricing — for formulation-to-API intercompany transactions, contract research arrangements, and global IP licensing structures — is one of India's most contested tax arenas, with significant AO scrutiny and litigation exposure.
Our Healthcare
Solutions
Integrated advisory capabilities designed for the specific dynamics of this sector.
Healthcare Regulatory & Compliance Advisory
CDSCO licensing, NABH accreditation support, and ABDM compliance programme management for hospitals, diagnostic chains, and medical device companies. We help healthcare institutions build compliance frameworks that satisfy regulatory requirements across the full spectrum of central and state health regulations — from clinical establishment registration to biomedical waste management.
Digital Health & DPDP Compliance
ABDM Health Data Management Policy compliance, consent manager integration, and DPDP Act health data governance for digital health platforms and hospital information systems. We help companies design data architectures that enable care coordination and population health analytics while meeting the heightened protection standards that health data demands.
Cybersecurity for Healthcare
Hospital cybersecurity assessments, medical device security evaluation, and incident response planning for healthcare institutions. We address the unique security challenges of healthcare environments — legacy medical devices, clinical workflows that cannot tolerate downtime, and the convergence of patient safety and data security — with practical, operationally viable solutions.
Healthcare M&A & Private Equity Advisory
Buy-side and sell-side due diligence for hospital acquisitions, diagnostics roll-ups, and pharmaceutical transactions. Our healthcare sector specialists conduct regulatory, financial, clinical governance, and operational due diligence — identifying the liabilities, compliance gaps, and integration risks that generic financial due diligence misses.
Pharmaceutical Tax & Transfer Pricing
Transfer pricing strategy, documentation, and APA applications for pharmaceutical companies with API-formulation structures, contract research arrangements, and global IP ownership models. We build positions that withstand India's increasingly sophisticated AO scrutiny — and manage litigation through the appellate hierarchy with technically rigorous arguments.
Internal Audit & Financial Controls
Risk-based internal audit for hospital chains and healthcare conglomerates — covering billing integrity, procurement governance, inventory management, and clinical cost accounting. Our healthcare audit specialists understand the unique revenue cycle risks of the sector and identify the fraud and error patterns that general auditors miss.
