Building for Bharat is a challenge like no other—its vast diversity in ethnicity, consumption habits, financial standing, and cultural contexts make creating scalable solutions uniquely complex. Yet, this diversity is precisely what makes Bharat a fertile ground for innovative, human-centred design. When participating in this interesting event “Building for Bharat” hosted by ProdWrks, I had the fortune to elaborate on how to approach problem-solving in healthcare, especially in the chronic/NCD space, the strategy of “universal problems, localized solutions” offers a robust framework. Sharing a top-down view here: Universal problems require localized solutions. Top-Down Problem Identification: Chronic health issues like diabetes, cancer, and musculoskeletal disorders impact all demographics, transcending income or location. At a high level, the medical management strategy could share similar key principles. Bottom-up solutions start with personalizing core medical solutions. 1. Microsegmentation is key for sharp focus: Imagine targeting “upper-middle-class diabetes patients in Bangalore.” While the core problem (diabetes management) is the same, the nuances of lifestyle, food preferences, language, and habits differ. Microsegmentation ensures the solution is hyper-relevant to this group. 2. Stage of Disease Adds Nuance: People react differently based on the stage of their illness—whether early or advanced. For instance, early-stage patients may need a lot more push to bring in habit changes to reverse the disease while advanced-stage patients might prioritize immediate symptom relief and arrest further progression. 3. Communication Matters: Personalization also comes in how solutions and benefits are communicated—culturally appropriate communication, tailored engagement strategies, and channels of dissemination. India exemplifies unity in diversity—unified in its challenges but diverse in its needs. The way forward is to tackle universal problems by employing precise solutions delivered to resonate locally. Then the question is, how do you expand the solution to other microsegments? I’ll talk about that very soon (but in all honesty, the answer is already covered in the post, can you crack it?)
