 “The  dental care  market is very fragmented  and there is no  single major  dental brand.  So,  consumers find it difficult to  know  which clinic to choose,” Rowel Coelho,  Sales Director of  Practo  Clinic,  told Fe in an interaction. He added that there is a need  to establish a standardized quality control system  in dental  care,  with  an  emphasis on  advanced  equipment and  price transparency.  

 For its co-branded dental clinics, Practo enters into profit-sharing partnerships with existing dental  practitioners who  operate  independent clinics and  standardize quality and infrastructure.  their  strata, treatments,  and non-medical  activities.  

 The  company’s  expansion strategy comes on the  heels  of a  slowdown  in  revenue  growth in FY23,  which saw  its  operating  revenue  decline  3.2% year-on-year to  ₹204.4 crore Rs.  However,  the company  managed to  reduce  its  loss  by 58% to Rs 99.4 crore in FY23 due to lower  advertising  and  consulting  costs.  Practo’s  B2C segment contributes nearly 80-85% of  total  revenue.  Although  its healthcare platform –  offering  online appointment booking,  e-pharmacy, and more.  –  as  the  core  of the business, the company is looking  to expand across the board, including  telemedicine, secondary care  surgery  and co-branded clinics.
