💡 Reimagining Digital Health | Regional Consultation on ABDM 2.0
We hosted a Regional Consultation on ABDM 2.0 at IIT Bombay, bringing together 35+ stakeholders across government, academia, startups, and the health-tech ecosystem — to reflect on lessons from ABDM 1.0 and collectively shape what ABDM 2.0 could become.
It was a valuable opportunity for us to host the National Health Authority (NHA) at IIT Bombay — a highlight of the growing collaboration between public institutions and academia in driving India’s digital health journey forward.
We extend our deep gratitude to:
🔹 Mr. Vikram Pagaria (Director, ABDM & PMJAY, NHA) — for a powerful keynote that set the direction for ABDM 2.0.
🔹 Mr. Himanshu Burad (OSD to JS & MD, ABDM, NHA) — for his constant support and invaluable guidance throughout.
🔹 Dr. Karthik Adapa (Regional Adviser for Digital Health) — for his vision and encouragement, which helped seed and shape this initiative.
We also thank Dr. Ajay Nair (Swasth Alliance) for his thought partnership and active participation, and Mr. Kiran Gopal Vaska (Joint Secretary & Mission Director, ABDM, NHA || IITB Alumnus) for his continued support.
A special thanks to our session moderators — Dr. Ashlesha Tawde Kelkar (MUHS), Mr. Akhil Malhotra (Bahmni), and Mr. Santosh Patil (KCDO)— and to all the participants who joined us, both offline and online, for your insight, energy, and commitment.
🧠 Together, let's work towards advancing ABDM 2.0 — a secure, inclusive, and interoperable health system for India, transform ideas into action and build the digital health backbone of tomorrow.
