Startup fever in Southeast Asia and its implication for India to improve indispensable public services(8)

Startup fever in Southeast Asia and its implication for India to improve indispensable public services

Now the thing is not in quantity but in quality in India. In spite of the snowballing increase in the number of Indian startups, not many young CEOs seem fascinated in jumping into the public sector. Most local startups have been allegedly involved in the apparently growing and thus lucrative business fields such as e-commerce, accommodation and transportation industries. 


Of course, this is no exception to their peers in Southeast Asia. However, continuous efforts to tackle long distorted public services have been reported from Southeast Asia. For instance, Halodoc, an Indonesian health tech startup, has been providing tele-consultations with doctors, pharmacy delivery, and at-home lab services through its mobile application with reasonable price options to remedy the underprivileged public access to the medical service.
