Episode notes
Fertility Decline Shapes Long-Term Economics
- India's fertility rate fell from 3.1 in 2003 to 2 in 2023, creating long-term demographic shifts.
- Lower birth rates compound into fewer future workers and higher elderly dependency, weighing on growth.
IVF Market Set For Rapid Growth
- Assisted reproduction and IVF are expanding as people delay parenthood and lifestyle factors raise infertility.
- The global IVF market was $27bn in 2024 and could double by 2034, with India's market expected to grow fourfold.
Hub-And-Spoke Keeps Expansion Asset-Light
- Gaudium runs a hub-and-spoke model: seven full-service hubs plus 28 spoke centres and alliances.
- This asset-light approach routes advanced cases to hubs while spokes handle consultations and follow-ups.
