With limited or no alternatives available with these customers in category B and C cities VLCC plans to enter these cities with its world-class technology and quality of products through the franchise channel.
Mr. Yogesh Sethi COO VLCC Healthcare Ltd. said “Research indicates that smaller towns increasingly mirror the lifestyle and awareness trends of the metros. We have seen huge interest in the services offered by VLCC and therefore feel certain that our entry into this segment will be met with great enthusiasm. We believe that the franchisee channel is the correct approach to tap the huge consumer base which still remains unexplored in these cities and towns. ”
