Using India as a model system, this study reviews the role of key agencies and processes involved in the field of stem cell‐based clinical research. This study identifies areas that need attention and provides solutions from other established and functioning models in the world to streamline and unify the regulatory and ethics approval processes for cell‐based therapies; it also provides recommendations to check the growth and functioning of clinics offering unproven treatments.
