- Government-backed schemes (PM-JAY, state insurance)
Supply-side gaps:
- Under-served chronic disease segments in Bihar
- Need for branded generics with quality assurance
- Demand for nutraceuticals and OTC categories
A pharma franchise in Patna positioned now will ride this 5-year wave with GRIOMED's product backing.
