While the U.S. has long dominated medical advancements, experts now point to India as the world’s most promising hub for health-care innovation. With its tech talent, cost-effective solutions, and scalable healthcare models, India is uniquely positioned to address global medical challenges more efficiently than traditional systems.
With Reliance Industries acquiring Karkinos and Mukesh Ambani—India’s richest man and chairman of the conglomerate—personally supporting its growth, the company is set to scale its impact significantly. Backed by Reliance’s vast resources, nationwide reach, and execution expertise, Karkinos is well-positioned to expand across India and beyond. What started as an ambitious startup is now emerging as a global model for delivering cancer care—and broader healthcare—efficiently and equitably.
America needs to take a hard look at its healthcare priorities. The challenge isn’t a lack of funding—it’s a lack of focus and execution. Despite spending over $4 trillion annually—roughly 18% of its GDP—the U.S. continues to lag behind in healthcare access and outcomes. A significant portion of this funding is funneled into academic research that often fails to translate into real-world impact. It’s time to shift from funding research for its own sake to investing in scalable, results-driven solutions. Every healthcare dollar should be measured not by academic output, but by lives saved and suffering reduced.
We’ve seen how this approach can work. Consider SpaceX and Starlink. Instead of relying solely on NASA’s traditional bureaucracy and outdated contractors, the U.S. government partnered with a nimble private company that moved quickly and delivered results. SpaceX achieved in a decade what government agencies couldn’t in half a century: reusable, affordable rockets that transformed the space industry. When legacy contractors failed to get astronauts to the ISS, SpaceX stepped up—reviving the space program and ensuring astronaut safety. Starlink now brings internet access to remote communities worldwide—proof that bold, results-focused partnerships can drive real change. Healthcare needs the same transformation.
