Apollo Health and Lifestyle Limited
Through Apollo Health and Lifestyle Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd - the flagship parent company, the Apollo Hospitals Group is establishing a large network of retail day to day healthcare clinics and boutique birthing centers across the country. As a part of the group's objective to expand its operations overseas, a number of similar facilities are being set up in neighboring countries as well.
In its bid to bring world-class healthcare services to the Indian sub-continent, the company is ably guided by Mr. Ratan Jalan, as Chief Executive Officer. With more than two decades of experience in varied areas like information technology, advertising and healthcare, Mr. Jalan has put together a young team of some of the brightest professionals from different backgrounds such as franchising, retailing, logistics and project management.
The boutique birthing center branded “The Cradle” has been conceived with the sole aim of providing expecting mothers a modern and complete facility specifically dedicated to serving the physical and emotional needs of mothers and child. The Cradle is a place where she can experience the joy of childbirth in a non-clinical environment and where every baby can arrive in a unique fasion. The model aims to revolutionize the birthing experience in a way that has never been attempted before.
Franchising as a Business Model
Franchising, as a business model, commands more than 55% of retail sales in the US. This is not hard to believe in a society where it is nearly impossible to stroll down a city block without seeing a McDonald's, a Wendy's, a Jiffy-Lube, or a 7-Eleven. Even in India, it offers aspiring entrepreneurs the best of both the worlds - the thrill of running a business, and the accumulated strength of an established brand. NIIT, Aptech, Kodak and Satyam Infoway have proved to be some of the remarkably successful examples. Brand equity, availability of in-depth industry knowledge, economy of scale and on-going marketing and training support tend to make a big difference.
The Apollo Hospitals Group
The Apollo Hospitals Group is uniquely positioned to continue to be the largest corporate player in the healthcare sector in South Asia.
