Swadesi.com interviews Prof Prakash Satyavageeswaran

Swadesi.com interviewed Prof. Prakash Satyavageeswaran, Co-Chair for the Centre for Healthcare to understand the motivation behind starting a research centre focused on healthcare at the Indian Institute of Management Udaipur.

In India’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, one critical gap has often been overlooked—the lack of management expertise in healthcare institutions. Recognizing this, the Centre for Healthcare (CFH) at IIM Udaipur was established to bridge the divide between medical practice and management principles.

The Centre for Healthcare brings together academicians, public health experts, healthcare practitioners, and business strategists to create real-world solutions for healthcare challenges, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The goal is to apply business and management insights to improve the efficiency, accessibility, and quality of healthcare services.

Our team had an exclusive interview with Professor Prakash Satyavageeswaran, co-chair of the Center for Healthcare and faculty at IIM Udaipur, to understand how management principles can revolutionize India’s healthcare system.
