Futuristics Trends in Post-Pandemic World

The year 2020 has caused many disruptions and has changed the way of life for every individual around the globe. Some of these changes have altered the way we think and function such as the experience of shopping, watching movies, concerts, and any other sporting events, etc. Few of these trends that are likely to continue even post-pandemic are the following:

  1. Hygiene: Overall awareness towards handwashing has dramatically increased in the pandemic and it is going to continue even in the long-run. This has uncovered a new product category of sanitizers with different variants and types, each having different usage.
  2. Buying Experience: The experience of shopping and buying things has transformed in the year 2020. The focus will be towards making the entire experience of shopping contactless and this will give rise to a contactless economy.
  3. Health and Well-being: The pandemic brought everybody’s attention towards health, which remains a neglected area for the individual as well as the government. There will be a shift in approach from curative to preventive and people will give focus on overall well-being. Government spending on public health will also increase.
  4. Minimalistic: All of us have learned to live with constraints during the pandemic. The frugal way of living with things that you need rather than impulsive buying will continue even post the pandemic
  5. Blurring lines of Workplace: Pandemic was an opportunity for organizations to realize that the old ways of functioning may not have a place in the new world. It gave rise to the concept of work from anywhere which now many organizations are adapting as a long-term strategy. This helps in reducing cost and making the organization light and focused on the real business opportunity.
  6. Entertainment: Digital consumption of content through OTT platforms increased drastically in the pandemic with several commercial movies release on the OTT platform instead of theatrical release. The small budget and movies of independent director will continue to be released on the OTT platform instead of a theatrical release in the post pandemic world.
  7. Technology: Technology has been one of the biggest enabler and gainer for the year 2020. Going forward companies will increase their investment in futuristics technology such as AR, VR, IOT, Cloud computing, web services and video-conferencing platforms in providing wow experience to the consumer and employees.

Medical Tourism Industry in India

Medical Tourism Industry in India By Prof Dr Rohan Kesarkar, Assistant Professor, Healthcare Management, WeSchool, Mumbai Medical tourism, also called medical value travel, can be defined as a visit by overseas patients for maintaining, improving or restoring health through medical intervention. It is basically seeking medical help outside the country of residence.  Learn more about the WeSchool HealthCare & Other Programs With globalization and easy access to information via digitization, people have become aware about better healthcare options and quality healthcare facilities across the globe. This has increased their tendency to travel to countries providing quality healthcare options but at affordable cost. The global medical tourism market scooped a revenue of around $58.6 billion in 2018 and estimated to surpass $142.2billion by 2026. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 40% of people desire medical tourism owing to the cutting-edge technology and easy access to medication. However, as per estimates, only ~11 million people travel annually to seek care abroad which is only ~1% of the estimated global tourist volume of 1 billion. Thus, there is immense potential for coupling medical care with tourism. Rapid development in innovation and technology had made healthcare one of the fastest growing industries in India today. High quality healthcare service delivery, affordable cost, relatively lower language barrier and close proximity to Africa, Gulf countries, west, central and south Asian countries have made India sought destination for medical tourism. The country has the largest pool of doctors with many being of global repute and has shown expertise in highly specialized areas of organ transplant, cardiology and oncology. India also has an unmatched heritage of traditional treatment methods from Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH) which makes our country prime destination for seeking alternate medical treatment options along with wellness and rejuvenation.  Over the last decade, India has jumped to 5th position among 41 major destinations across the globe for medical value travel. This has created lot of employment opportunities in India. Since 2015, people coming for medical treatment in India has grown annually at about 55%. According to Ministry of Tourism, India saw a footfall of 6.97 lakh foreign patients to seek medical treatment which was about 6.9% of the total foreign tourist arrivals.  Although coronavirus pandemic has impacted negatively the medical tourism market, the development of Oxford, Pfizer, and other vaccines have raised hopes of recovery in this sector by Q2/Q3 of 2021.  Considering the population density, India has handled the covid19 pandemic very well by keeping the mortality rates low. This has proven our medical ingenuity and raised possibilities of rapid recovery in the medical tourism sector. One strategy, implemented by India to increase medical tourism is the introduction of M-visa that allows foreign national people to enter our country for medical treatments in less time. With proper covid containment norms, India is also opening its skies through air bubble agreements with select countries, while many private hospitals have restarted admitting emergency abroad cases. With the efforts put in by the Indian government, the medical tourism industry is likely to revive faster and better as compared to other developed countries. India will continue to remain as a preferred destination for safest and affordable medical tourism even after the pandemic and develop employees in this sector. A wide range of employment opportunities ranging from customer relations, sales and business development, finance, administration, and medical support services are expected to be generated due to medical tourism.  These are the author’s personal views
