Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Medical Tourism: A Qualitative Exploration of Hyderabad's Healthcare Ventures

Author(s) Gollapudi Sudheer
Country India
Abstract This qualitative research paper focuses on the entrepreneurial ecosystem that is moving medical tourism in Hyderabad, India, and how healthcare ventures, healthcare policies, and market forces interplay dynamically to shape the city into a global healthcare destination. This study uses semi-structured interviews with healthcare entrepreneurs, hospital administrators, and policy makers, document analysis, and observations to determine success factors, issues, and opportunities in the medical tourism environment in Hyderabad. The results indicate that the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Hyderabad enjoys a combination of the following factors, i.e., world-class medical infrastructure, cost-competitive advantage, availability of medical professionals, and active government action, i.e., Telangana Rising 2047 policy. The paper pinpoints some of the major patterns of entrepreneurship, such as technology-based health startups, specialized tertiary care businesses, and medical facilitation businesses, which all play a significant role in making the ecosystem vibrant. Nevertheless, there are still difficulties in the areas of standardization, international marketing, and harmonization of regulations. This study is useful in the medical tourism literature, as it offers context-dependent data on entrepreneurial processes in medical tourism destinations and reflects implications for all policymakers, medical entrepreneurs, and stakeholders who could develop sustainable medical tourism systems.
Keywords medical tourism, entrepreneurial ecosystem, healthcare entrepreneurship, Hyderabad, Telangana, health startups, qualitative research.
