Kallos Engg, bringing healthcare to your handheld devices

The need for healthcare in our country is a well-known problem and therefore the opportunities it has to offer is immense. The Indian healthcare industry, which comprises hospitals, medical infrastructure, medical devices, clinical trials, outsourcing, telemedicine, health insurance and medical equipment, is expected to reach US$ 160 billion by 2017, says an IBEF report.

While government bodies are doing their bit to help ease the situation, they can use with help. And one of the parties lending a helping hand is one of Tech 30 from this year’s TechSpark -- Kallos Engg Pvt Ltd.
