Building Vasan Eye Care from Trichy | Dr. A. M. Arun on Scaling Healthcare in India

Описание: How do you build a large-scale healthcare business in India—starting from a Tier-2 town—inside one of the most complex and regulated sectors?

In this insightful talk, Dr. A. M. Arun, Founder of Vasan Eye Care, shares the thinking, conviction, and strategic choices that led to the creation of one of India’s most recognizable single-specialty healthcare brands.

Coming from a background in pharmacy trading, Dr. Arun identified early on the structural gap between healthcare demand and delivery in India—especially outside metro cities. With a population of over a billion and a public healthcare system under pressure, he saw an opportunity not just to build hospitals, but to design a scalable healthcare delivery model.

🔑 Key ideas covered in this session:

• Why healthcare in India is high-demand but extremely difficult to scale
• How Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns represent massive untapped healthcare markets
• The strategic insight behind choosing eye care as a single-specialty focus
• Why the single-specialty clinic model scales faster than large multi-specialty hospitals
• How smaller, clinic-style formats reduce capital intensity and speed up expansion
• Lessons from expanding across cities like Trichy, Madurai, Salem, and beyond
• Why scalability—not size alone—is the real differentiator in Indian businesses
• The importance of choosing a sector where process, standardization, and repetition are possible

Dr. Arun explains that while large hospitals require significant time, space, and capital to build, a focused single-specialty model allows entrepreneurs to replicate operations efficiently across locations—making healthcare delivery both accessible and scalable.

This session is especially valuable for:
✔ Healthcare entrepreneurs and hospital founders
✔ Founders exploring single-specialty or clinic-based models
✔ Business leaders interested in scaling from non-metro markets
✔ Entrepreneurs evaluating complex, regulation-heavy sectors

As Dr. Arun emphasizes, India’s biggest success stories are built by businesses that learn how to scale—despite complexity.
