What the Owners Wanted
A husband-and-wife team already running a successful pharmacy wanted to expand into healthcare and grow step by step — starting with a basic centre and building towards an advanced one, rather than committing to everything at once.
They came to us for a consultation first. We worked out the roadmap together, agreed where to start, and only then did they sign up for the project.
What We Did
- Feasibility & modelStudied the locality and the local population, and looked at how the existing pharmacy could feed the new centre. We recommended a largely B2C model, since the pharmacy already brought a steady customer base with it.
- Size & layoutRecommended a mid-size centre and set out the basic structure planning. Interior work took roughly 30 days.
- FinanceTook the project down the MSME route and secured a subsidy-linked loan, approved through the District Collector.
- EquipmentSpecified and ordered the machines, and oversaw installation.
- Staffing & trainingSourced and recruited the full team. Everyone trained at one of our own centres — and so did the owners.
- Licences & brandingObtained the licences, designed the logo and built the website.
- LaunchSet the opening date and opened the centre. Total time from start to opening: three months.
How It Was Funded
- MSME-based project loan
- Subsidy-linked, approved through the District Collector
- Budget agreed with the owners before the project started
After the Opening
- Review meetings every Friday for the first three months
- Hands-on help with growth and day-to-day troubleshooting
- Support through the teething problems every new centre meets
Equipment Commissioned
The centre opened with a haematology analyser, an ESR analyser and a biochemistry bench, sized to the daily volumes the feasibility study projected — all installed, commissioned and handed over running.
