Most Preferred Workplace – Healthcare 2026-27

Giving Healthcare A Shot In The Arm

Healthcare is entering a period of extraordinary expansion. India’s healthcare sector is projected to reach around USD 338 billion by 2030, while its healthcare workforce has already crossed 6 million active professionals, with more than 6.3 million additional jobs expected by 2030. At the same time, technology, AI, genomics, digital health, advanced therapeutics, and increasingly complex patient expectations are changing the nature of work across the ecosystem.

Behind every hospital, medicine, laboratory, device, diagnosis, and breakthrough sits a workforce being asked to do more, learn faster, and adapt continuously. The challenge for organisations is therefore becoming as much about people as it is about technology and infrastructure.

The workplaces that thrive will be those that can attract capable talent, build new skills, create meaningful careers, and foster cultures where people feel valued and equipped to contribute.

It is against this backdrop that this seminal event returns for its third edition.

Spotlighting Workplaces People Choose

Following the resounding success of previous editions, the third edition of Most Preferred Workplace for Healthcare 2026-27 builds on a simple premise: the future of healthcare depends on the people who make it possible.

The initiative creates a distinctive industry platform to recognise organisations that are shaping workplaces around the evolving needs of their people while preparing them for a rapidly changing healthcare ecosystem. At its heart lies a celebration of brands that have carved a place in our hearts, not merely through what they deliver to patients and consumers, but through the cultures and experiences they create for the people behind those outcomes.

The first edition brought together and recognised eminent organisations including Apollo Hospitals, Cadila Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Reddy’s and Nestlé Health Science, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Medtronic, P. D. Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre, and Wockhardt, amongst many more.

The third edition carries that momentum forward, opening a wider conversation around what makes a healthcare workplace truly preferred.

Research
That Puts People First

Presented by Marksmen Daily, the Most Preferred Workplace for Healthcare is a research-driven recognition platform, with in-depth research undertaken by LeadCap Ventures. The framework looks beyond conventional workplace measures to examine the practices, cultures, and capabilities that shape employee experience and organisational resilience.

As healthcare evolves, the workplace itself is becoming a strategic asset. Organisations must attract specialised talent, continuously develop capabilities, support employee wellbeing, build inclusive cultures, and create environments where technology complements human expertise.

The research framework will therefore examine organisations across six dimensions:

Talent Attraction & Retention

Learning, Upskilling, & Growth

Employee Wellbeing & Care

Culture, Inclusion, & Belonging

Leadership, Trust, & Transparency

Innovation, Agility, & Adaptability

Together, these parameters seek to identify organisations building workplaces equipped for both the people and possibilities shaping the next chapter of healthcare.

Where Healthcare Leaders Come Together

The initiative culminates in a gathering of the people shaping India’s healthcare and life sciences ecosystem. The audience will include Chairpersons, MDs, CEOs, CXOs, CHROs, HR and people leaders, hospital administrators, pharmaceutical and biotech executives, medical and healthcare professionals, founders, innovators, and other senior decision-makers from across the ecosystem.

Beyond recognition, the platform will create an opportunity for leaders to exchange perspectives on talent, technology, culture, leadership, and the changing employee experience across healthcare, pharma, and biotech.

This unique industry platform will celebrate organisations that are creating workplaces people value, while bringing together the leaders who will shape the future of work across one of India’s most consequential sectors.
