Focussing on innovation and technology led growth in the traditional healthcare sector, Madhavbaug, a specialist in treating and reversing cardiovascular metabolic disorder through its scientific evidence-based Ayurveda therapies will hold a conclave at the upcoming World Ayurveda Congress (WAC) to identify and support startups through capital infusion and mentorship programmes.
