What keeps Anandakanda ahead of the pack?
Anandakanda has a track record that sets it apart from the competition. Within just two years of beginning operations, the company was able to generate a database of 10 lack individuals with 30 lakh prescriptions, giving actionable insights about the medical condition of each individual.
The competitive advantage is the speed with which the database is growing and the ease with which a service provider can reach out to even a low income group because of target based marketing.
Today, Anandakanda owns a large database, specific to the healthcare and wellness sector. This database allows the service providers from each sector to reach out to their target customers directly. The numbers may seem too low with regard to the population of India. But the highly specific and exhaustive data allows effective promotion and marketing of wellness and healthcare services and products and has seen considerable success.
