Abstract: The objective of this research is to study the scope of eHealth as a means to reach the 'bottom of the pyramid (BOP)' in India and making healthcare services accessible to this segment. For this purpose, a detailed study of the eHealth initiatives in India is done in terms of their objectives, value proposition, penetration, customer segment, and operating model. This study also analyses the macro-economic, technological, social and other demographic factors in India in order to understand the scope of eHealth in terms of its drivers and inhibitors in the growth of eHealth in India. This is a qualitative and descriptive research study that is based on secondary research which involves a review of existing literature and data.
