The Business Case for Bhagalpur
Let's look at Bhagalpur through a pure business lens. The city has 0.4 Million+ people. Assume conservative pharmaceutical spending of just βΉ500 per person per year β that's a βΉ2,000+ annual pharma market in Bhagalpur alone. Even capturing 0.1% of this market via your franchise translates to substantial annual revenue.
Now add in the Tier 3 city multiplier (8-11% growth), GRIOMED's pricing edge, and monopoly territory protection, and the franchise math becomes very compelling. This is why so many Bihar entrepreneurs are choosing the PCD pharma route β and GRIOMED in particular β as their wealth-building vehicle.
