Formula for the Future

Chemical Brands that Build, Heal, and Sustain

The Chemistry of Impact

India’s chemical sector stands as a foundational force behind the country’s industrial advancement and sustainable growth. From vital compounds that drive health innovations to materials that shape modern infrastructure and consumer experiences, chemical brands are the invisible engines behind some of the most transformative developments across sectors.

Today, as the world navigates climate challenges, digitization, and the demand for trust in materials and sourcing, the role of chemical brands has evolved dramatically. 

They are not just producers—they are problem solvers, catalysts for sustainable change, and critical enablers of India’s ambition to become a self-reliant and globally competitive manufacturing hub.

It aims to dissect critical themes such as adaptive learning methodologies, the role of technology in education delivery, skill development aligned with future demands, and the imperative for inclusive and equitable education.

At this edition, we will honor the brands that have defied challenges and climbed the ladder to success through their vision, perseverance, and bravery. Additionally, this event will serve as a dynamic platform for exchanging knowledge, fostering collaboration across different sectors, and leveraging expert analysis to expedite progress. Through proactive cooperation, we aim to deliver scalable outcomes and drive impactful results.

At the heart of the conclave lies a steadfast belief: education must evolve to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. As the skills demanded by industries and professions shift, traditional learning models must transition towards being more student-centred, inclusive, connected, and collaborative, fostering creativity and lifelong learning. The Times Now Education Summit 2024 will provide a platform to explore the intersection of tradition and innovation in education and its profound potential to shape lives and societies.

Join us at the ET Now Best Education Brands Conclave 2025 to be part of this transformative journey. Together, let’s shape the future of education and skilling.

Industry Outlook

As of 2024, India’s healthcare sector stands as one of the country’s largest employers, providing jobs to approximately 7.5 million people. This sector is set to experience significant growth, driven by an increasing demand for healthcare professionals both within India and globally. 

By 2030, the need for skilled healthcare workers is expected to double, owing to a notable shortage in the workforce. Currently, India faces a critical imbalance with only 1.7 nurses per 1,000 people, and a doctor-to-patient ratio of 1:1,500 nationwide, which is far below global standards.

To address this gap and strengthen the nation’s healthcare infrastructure, the Indian government is preparing to roll out a credit incentive programme valued at Rs. 50,000 crore (approximately US$ 6.8 billion). This initiative aims to enhance the availability and accessibility of healthcare services across the country, providing much-needed resources to support the sector’s expansion and capacity building.

The Indian healthcare sector has witnessed significant advancements across multiple dimensions. The key trends driving its growth are as follows:
