Population & Demographics โ€” Gangtok's Pharma Edge

A pharma market is ultimately a function of population ร— purchasing power ร— health awareness. Gangtok scores well on all three:

  • Population: 0.1 Million+ (a meaningful demand base in Sikkim).
  • Purchasing power: Mixed but growing โ€” Tier 2/3 cities are seeing the fastest disposable income growth.
  • Health awareness: Post-COVID, Gangtok residents prioritise health far more than they did a decade ago.

This combination is exactly why GRIOMED is actively expanding our franchise network in Gangtok โ€” and why we offer attractive terms to early partners who lock in monopoly rights now.

Year 2: โ‚น40-90 Lakhs revenue, โ‚น10-25 Lakhs profit
