The Business Case for Cuttack
Let's look at Cuttack through a pure business lens. The city has 0.7 Million+ people. Assume conservative pharmaceutical spending of just βΉ500 per person per year β that's a βΉ3,500+ annual pharma market in Cuttack 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 Odisha entrepreneurs are choosing the PCD pharma route β and GRIOMED in particular β as their wealth-building vehicle.
