How AI Is Transforming Healthcare In 2025
Ashish Sukhadeve, Founder and CEO of Analytics Insight, providing organizations with strategic insights on disruptive technologies. In terms of its transformative effect, AI is doing for healthcare what electricity did for the industry. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global AI healthcare market was valued at $29.01 billion in 2024, and it's projected to grow to $504.17 billion by 2032. This represents a massive CAGR of 44%. For healthcare leaders, the time to act is now; AI is rapidly advancing areas such as illness prevention, diagnostics and drug discovery, and it has the potential to significantly reduce administrative burdens. Here are just some of the areas to follow when it comes to AI in the sector: Preventing Illness I think one of AI's most valuable contributions is its ability to prevent illness. There are many wearables, AI health apps and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) available now. These consumer applications enable individuals to take charge of their own health. They allow users to monitor everything from heart rates to sleep cycles, turning passive patients into proactive participants. Doctors also benefit. AI helps them understand a patient's daily habits, risks and medical history. This improves their ability to offer personalized care. I see prevention, powered by data, as becoming the new normal. Diagnosis AI also excels in medical imaging and diagnostics. At Massachusetts General Hospital and MIT, AI detected lung nodules with 94% accuracy, outperforming radiologists, who achieved 65%. Similar results have been found for breast cancer detection. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, AI in diagnostics may reduce treatment costs by 50% and improve outcomes by 40%. AI is not just reducing medical errors; it is reducing medical anxiety. I believe with AI improving both accuracy and outcomes, healthcare leaders must treat diagnostics not as a back-office upgrade, but as a frontline opportunity for transformation. Drug Discovery Bringing a drug to market can take over 10 years and cost $172 million on average. Only 13.8% of compounds make it to approval. AI can help reduce this timeline dramatically. Systems like IBM Watson can process vast amounts of medical journals and case studies. DeepMind uses neural networks to solve complex health problems with learning algorithms. AstraZeneca's AI, trained on data from 500,000 people, can now predict diseases like Alzheimer's before symptoms appear. These tools can be used not only to improve timelines but also to save countless lives. Caring For The Aging Population As populations age, the demand for elder care rises. AI-powered robots are easing this burden, even when it comes to things like laundry. They are increasingly used to assist in physical therapy, provide companionship and reduce hospital visits. These machines can now hold conversations that stimulate mental engagement in older adults. The lesson is clear: Embracing AI not only addresses labor shortages but also opens new paths to compassionate, scalable elder care. Administration Support AI is improving what patients don't see, the administration. Microsoft's Dragon Copilot can create real-time notes during clinical consultations. Germany's Elea AI reports that it can cut testing and diagnosis from "weeks to hours." These and many other tools are giving doctors more time focusing on patient care. These tools are also helping save time when it comes to clinical decision making, and as evidenced by the Alzheimer's prediction example, AI increasingly supports early warnings. It can now identify high-risk patients using data patterns, including genetic and lifestyle factors. Tools like ChatRWD are replacing and outperforming generic AI models. Conclusion AI is not replacing doctors but empowering them. It now impacts every layer of healthcare, from diagnosis to prevention, from robots to research. Patients can be better informed. Doctors are better equipped. Systems are more efficient. In 2025, I believe the most important medical tool is not a scalpel; it's data, and AI is the surgeon. The future of healthcare is not waiting on some distant horizon; it's already here.

How One Entrepreneur is Shaping the AI Narrative for a Billion Indians
"Our reports cover different segments, geographies, and technologies, providing the latest intelligence on analytical trends," says Ashish Sukhadeve, Founder of Analytics Insight, IndustryWired, and Big Data Council You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. In a world awash with digital content and fleeting headlines, Ashish Sukhadeve stands out as a builder of depth. As the founder of multiple influential platforms, including Analytics Insight, IndustryWired, and Big Data Council, Sukhadeve has spent the last decade creating data-driven media brands that serve as compasses for enterprises navigating the disruptive world of artificial intelligence (AI), data science, and emerging technologies. From the early days of his career in data consulting to helming one of the world's first AI-focused publications (Analytics Insight), his journey reflects a rare blend of research rigour, entrepreneurial foresight, and journalistic passion. "I was passionate about journalism and writing from the beginning," Sukhadeve says, tracing the origins of his media journey. "Working with research-led organisations gave me the ability to analyse and present results in a comprehensive manner. But I always felt that traditional research reports included data with no insights or recommendations." This realisation became the spark for Analytics Insight, founded in 2016. At the time, very few tech publications focused deeply on AI and data science. Those that did often lacked analytical depth or failed to connect trends with business strategy. "We built a platform that not only offered what was trending in emerging technologies but also delivered reports that helped organisations make strategic business decisions," he explains. A Data-Driven Philosophy Sukhadeve's work is united by a singular mission: to bridge the gap between disruptive technology and business intelligence. Whether through Analytics Insight, IndustryWired, or the more recent Big Data Council, his platforms strive to build communities around data and insight-led innovation. "Data is now the new currency," he says. He feels data is a valuable resource that powers decision-making, innovation, and transformation across all sectors. This mission has found fertile ground in India, where the AI ecosystem is undergoing rapid transformation. India currently has over 600,000 AI professionals, and with a growing digital population of 700 million internet users, the demand for insight-driven tech content is surging. More than 2,000 AI startups have been launched in the past three years alone, contributing to the country's status as the world's third-largest startup ecosystem. Sukhadeve sees his platforms as enablers in this evolution. "Being a researcher and data professional, I saw a huge gap in the media industry where customised solutions to drive growth, leadership, and recognition for enterprises were missing. Our reports and insights help organisations identify trends, optimise processes, and anticipate future needs, leading to increased profitability and a competitive edge." Becoming a Media Entrepreneur Before his entrepreneurial leap, Sukhadeve held key positions at research and analytics firms like GlobalData, Evalueserve, and Wolters Kluwer. Armed with degrees in Electronics & Communication Engineering from NIT Durgapur and an MBA in International Business, he later pursued executive education in business analytics from NMIMS and IIT Hyderabad, which gave him both technical acumen and business perspective. "I worked across domains from automotive to healthcare and IT, providing useful insights to stakeholders to strategise and make business decisions," he recalls. But over time, it became clear to him that market reports often lacked narrative. They were filled with numbers but missed the story. He envisioned a platform that not only contextualised data but made it actionable. That vision became Analytics Insight, the world's first print and digital publication dedicated exclusively to insights on disruptive technologies. What began as a niche experiment has today become a global brand read by Fortune 500 companies, universities, and government think tanks alike. The Business of Insight Unlike many traditional media outlets, Analytics Insight follows a diversified revenue model rooted in both content and consulting. "We generate the majority of our revenue from advertisements, reports, and advertorials," Sukhadeve shares. "We promote products and solutions through marketing campaigns that include interviews, social media promotions, research reports, and content promotions." Custom research is a critical offering. The brand works closely with enterprises to generate market intelligence reports that chart clear roadmaps to tap into new opportunities. These curated insights offer a comprehensive understanding of the market landscape and its interdependencies that are valuable for strategy formulation in an era of constant change. Another critical pillar of the brand's authority lies in its highly cited rankings and reports. "Our reports cover different segments, geographies, and technologies, providing the latest intelligence on analytical trends," he explains. With a team of subject-matter experts, editors, and data analysts, the company pulls information from multiple sources, performs quantitative analysis, and forecasts market trends using algorithms. "Using this analysis, we curate reports that pinpoint emerging trends, explore high-growth markets, and uncover untapped growth opportunities." India's AI Momentum The backdrop to Sukhadeve's work is the fast-evolving AI economy around the world. But when we focus on the Indian market, we are not shocked but surprised by witnessing the huge transformation in the evolving Indian AI economy. According to BCG, the Indian AI market is projected to cross $17 billion by 2027, more than triple its current value. India also makes up 16 per cent of the world's AI talent pool, placing it just behind the United States. This demographic dividend, powered by a strong STEM education infrastructure and widespread digital adoption, has positioned India as a global force in AI. The momentum is reflected not just in urban tech hubs but also in India's expanding innovation footprint. Over 51 per cent of recognised startups (in overall categories) now emerge from Tier II and III cities, with major centres like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mumbai anchoring the country's entrepreneurial activity. Government schemes like Startup India have further catalysed the ecosystem, offering incentives and policy support for early-stage ventures. The role of media in this transformation is pivotal, argues Sukhadeve. "Companies require data and insight-driven coverage of emerging tech developments," he says. The Web3 Frontier Sukhadeve also sees promise in emerging sectors such as Web3, digital currencies, and decentralised finance (DeFi). In 2024, India recorded a 28 per cent year-on-year increase in Web3 developers, adding 4.7 million contributors on GitHub. The country accounted for 17 per cent of all new Web3 developers globally. With over 1,200 Web3 startups now active, the sector raised $564 million in 2024, a 109 per cent jump over the previous year. The traction is real, especially in areas like gaming and real-world assets. Web3 gaming has particularly taken off, with many hybrid gamers fully shifting to blockchain-based platforms. However, Sukhadeve feels, "India's regulatory framework is still evolving when it comes to cryptocurrencies. While the government has taken steps such as imposing tax on crypto gains, a comprehensive regulatory framework is still needed." Initiatives like the Centre of Excellence for blockchain technology launched by the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) in collaboration with STPI, the Government of Haryana, and industry partners indicate forward movement. These incubators are creating fertile ground for startups in blockchain and other emerging technologies. An Extension of Analytics Insight Beyond media, Sukhadeve's latest venture, Big Data Council, is about fostering community-led innovation. Founded in 2022 as an extension of Analytics Insight, the Council is a forum for C-suite leaders, data scientists, and tech innovators to collaborate, share best practices, and drive industry-wide conversations around responsible tech. "Our aim with Big Data Council was to promote research, development, and knowledge sharing in disruptive technologies," he says. "These discussions foster collaboration, leadership, and problem-solving. It also serves as a repository of ideas and insights that can guide the next generation of innovation." Challenges and Leadership Lessons Like any startup story, Sukhadeve's journey has not been without challenges. "The biggest challenge we face at Analytics Insight is hiring the right resources," he admits. "Tech-driven media requires team members to be creative, adaptable, and strategic." Scaling also demands efficient processes to manage the increased workload without compromising on speed or quality. As a leader, Sukhadeve advocates for adaptability, strategic thinking, and continuous learning. "Managing a content and tech-driven media organisation comes with inevitable ups and downs. I believe adaptability plays a significant role. It allows us to navigate uncertainty with calm and critical thinking." He also places a high value on psychological safety within the team. "Prioritising learning fuels psychological safety and helps team members see their areas of improvement as opportunities, not weaknesses." The Future of Media-Tech At Analytics Insight, innovation is baked into the culture. The team actively experiments with new formats and uses data to refine its content strategy. "We've created a process in which team members use data at every point to get stronger results," says Sukhadeve. "This helps us prove the value of our work to both the organisation and the audience." Looking ahead, Sukhadeve envisions a media landscape that plays an even larger role in shaping responsible tech discourse. With AI, blockchain, and quantum computing poised to transform industries, there's a growing need for clarity, curation, and credibility—traits that define his media brands. "Our mission is to build a larger community around disruptive technologies that solves tomorrow's most challenging problems and the impact they will have on the entire humanity," Sukhadeve concludes.

Bitcoin Rebounds to $83K After Sharp Fall, Global Crypto Market Shows Mixed Trends in March 2025
Only two months ago, on January 20th, 2025, with President Trump's inauguration, Bitcoin reached its all-time high price of $109,350. The rally was driven by a positive market mood and growing institutional interest. But since then, the cryptocurrency market has remained extremely volatile. In recent weeks, Bitcoin's price has fallen to about $82,000 as of early March, one of its steepest weekly drops ever, before recovering to over $83,000. Analytical Insight, in its new report, sheds light on how global cryptocurrency markets performed in March 2025. The report reveals mixed trends due to shifting investor sentiments, new regulations, and changes in the world economy. Despite the volatile global economy, Bitcoin remained strong, ending March at over $83,000. It rose slightly over the month and jumped 8% in the last week, unlike Ethereum, the second biggest cryptocurrency, which dropped by 18% and closed the month around $1,574. Other coins like Solana performed much better, rising more than 17% in a week. The value of stablecoins like USDT and USDC remained mostly the same. These currencies are frequently bought by investors seeking safety in times of market uncertainty. Also on the rise are XRP and TRX, suggesting that some traders are still optimistic about the market. Decentralized Financial (DeFi) platforms also saw a drop in value, going down from $177 billion in January to $128 billion in March. However, non-fungible token (NFT) trading picked up with more transactions despite the lower average sale price. Investment firms showed growing interest in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ashish Sukhadeve, CEO of Analytics Insight, said the crypto market is known for big ups and downs. "It's more risky than regular markets, but it can also bring big rewards," he said. "Our report helps people learn from past trends and plan better." The report also talks about European Union's introduction of new regulations for digital assets in March, and in the U.S., leaders discussed using cryptocurrencies more in national financial systems. There was also talk about a U.S. Bitcoin Reserve and digital currency projects in Asia and Europe, which made many hopeful about the future of cryptocurrency.

Newly launched cryptocurrency receives major buzz after raising over $7 million in presale: 'Cryptocurrency of the future'
Cryptocurrency has faced a lot of criticism for its dependence on dirty energy and the toll that transactions take on the environment. A new project is trying to change that perception with the public. Lightchain AI is a newly launched cryptocurrency that combines artificial intelligence with blockchain. It had a successful presale and raised more than $7 million from early investors, according to Analytics Insight. One of Lightchain AI's biggest selling points is its commitment to green crypto, which means it prioritizes things like sustainability, efficiency, and renewable energy. Some ways to achieve green crypto include the adoption of solar or wind power, purchasing carbon credits, and investing in green initiatives. There's a huge need for innovative and sustainable cryptocurrency solutions because it utilizes so much energy and water to operate. It relies heavily on dirty energy and its use is only increasing over time. Bitcoin consumes as much electricity every year as a small country, according to a report from United Nations University. That carbon impact is equivalent to burning 84 billion pounds of coal or running 190 power plants using natural gas. Experts have debated whether Bitcoin can survive long-term without a major change. Some countries have even proposed taxes on crypto mining to curb its energy drain. "Our findings should not discourage the use of digital currencies. Instead, they should encourage us to invest in regulatory interventions and technological advancements that improve the efficiency of the global financial system without harming the environment," said Kaveh Madani, the director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health. Lightchain AI's use of artificial intelligence does a lot of heavy lifting on the computations needed for transactions, leading to a significant reduction in energy consumption. "With a focus on sustainability and efficiency, Lightchain AI mends environmental issues with running blockchain applications, leading the field in sustainable crypto solutions," Analytics Insight said. Do you worry about companies having too much of your personal data? Absolutely Sometimes Not really I'm not sure Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. "Lately, its focus on carbon footprint reduction and technological innovation has positioned Lightchain AI as a likely candidate for the green cryptocurrency of the future."
