Market Opportunity

Healthcare is recession-proof. Hospitals do not shut down — they expand. Every Tier-2 and Tier-3 city in India is adding new beds, and trained BSc MIT professionals are in short supply everywhere.

  • India has only 1 radiographer per 65,000 people vs WHO norm of 1 per 10,000
  • MRI/CT installations growing 18% YoY across Tier-2 cities
  • Every PMJAY-empanelled hospital needs at least 2 imaging techs
  • Diagnostic chains (Vijaya, Lucid, Aster) opening 200+ centres/year
