Budget 2026 Perspective from Prashanth Reddy, Founder & MD, Anvayaa -- Healthcare Ecosystem

By:- Prashanth Reddy, Founder & MD, Anvayaa

The Union Budget 2026–27 is a constructive step toward building a more inclusive and future-ready healthcare ecosystem, with encouraging emphasis on infrastructure, innovation and preventive care — all of which are increasingly important as India’s senior population grows. There is clear recognition that healthcare must evolve to address long-term and chronic care needs more effectively. The next priority should be ensuring these policy directions translate into real, on-ground support for ageing at home. At Anvayaa, we believe that wider insurance coverage for preventive and assisted eldercare, fiscal incentives for senior-care services, and stronger backing for technology-enabled home-care models can significantly ease the care burden on families. With the right policy support, dignified and reliable eldercare at home can become accessible to millions of seniors across the country.”
