IIT Delhi launches executive programme in healthcare entrepreneurship and management
Programme focuses on healthcare innovation, technology and management through online learning
IIT Delhi has announced the launch of its Executive Programme in Healthcare Entrepreneurship and Management. The programme is offered through the Continuing Education Programme (CEP), a statutory body of IIT Delhi responsible for conducting certificate programmes and issuing certificates.
The programme has been introduced in the context of changes within India’s healthcare system, including the adoption of digital health, medical device development, AI-based diagnostics, wearable technologies and patient-centred care models. At the same time, the sector continues to face challenges related to fragmented care delivery, regulatory processes, commercialisation pathways and the requirement for leadership with multidisciplinary capabilities.
As healthcare demand increases and innovation activity continues, there is a need for professionals who can assess clinical requirements, develop technology-led solutions, manage regulatory processes and build healthcare ventures. The programme is intended to prepare participants to engage with these aspects of the healthcare sector.
The Executive Programme in Healthcare Entrepreneurship and Management is structured as a five-month course delivered through live online sessions, supported by guided project work. The curriculum covers the lifecycle of healthcare innovation, including design, prototyping, testing and commercial planning, with a focus on converting healthcare challenges into market-ready opportunities.
The programme is anchored by IIT Delhi’s Centre for Biomedical Engineering and includes clinical inputs from experts at AIIMS Delhi. It is led by faculty members including Dr Arnab Chanda and Dr Biswarup Mukherjee. The course integrates engineering, clinical, managerial and entrepreneurial perspectives.
A component of the programme is a project-based learning model. Participants work on healthcare problems and develop prototypes, supported by mentoring, peer interaction and feedback from subject experts.
