The Business Case for Aurangabad
Let's look at Aurangabad through a pure business lens. The city has 1.2 Million+ people. Assume conservative pharmaceutical spending of just ₹500 per person per year — that's a ₹6,000+ annual pharma market in Aurangabad alone. Even capturing 0.1% of this market via your franchise translates to substantial annual revenue.
Now add in the Tier 2 city multiplier (10-12% growth), GRIOMED's pricing edge, and monopoly territory protection, and the franchise math becomes very compelling. This is why so many Maharashtra entrepreneurs are choosing the PCD pharma route — and GRIOMED in particular — as their wealth-building vehicle.
What You'll Spend, What You'll Earn — Aurangabad Franchise Economics
We believe in transparency. Here's the honest financial picture of a GRIOMED pharma franchise in Aurangabad:
Investment (one-time + recurring):
- One-time setup: ₹50,000 – ₹1,00,000 (license, deposit, storage)
- Recurring stock: ₹50,000 – ₹3,00,000 (refreshed monthly based on sales)
- Marketing: 5–10% of revenue (mostly handled by GRIOMED free of cost)
Revenue projections (conservative):
- Month 1-3: ₹50,000 – ₹1,50,000 (ramp-up phase)
- Month 4-6: ₹2,00,000 – ₹4,00,000 (doctor base grows)
- Month 7-12: ₹4,00,000 – ₹8,00,000+ (territory established)
Margin = 20-60% depending on category.
At steady-state, Aurangabad franchise partners with GRIOMED typically earn ₹80,000 – ₹3,00,000 net profit per month.
