Founder Story: ₹80 A Session To 95,000 Sessions | Physiotherapy Clinic Business In India
About this episode
How a physiotherapy clinic in Nagpur went from ₹80 a session in two rented rooms to 95,000 sessions and 2,500 square feet, without spending a rupee on advertising. A Startup India story about building a name before building revenue.
Dr. Neha Ghatekar and Rohan Ghatekar are married and they are business partners. He resigned from fourteen years in IT and HR without telling her, walked in and told her that day, and their son was one month old. A retired Air Force veteran offered them the ground floor of his bungalow for the six thousand rupees he was already making from it, and PhysioLogic opened with three patients on day one. This is the Indian entrepreneur story most people never see: the first year where the fees never covered the expenses, the landlord who carried the rent for three months, and the party they threw for 350 patients and their families while still in the minus.
In this episode of Chaos To Clarity they explain why ₹80 was a strategy and not a mistake, how a married couple runs a business without bringing it home, and then Dr. Neha takes over on what pain actually is, why an MRI is not the full picture, why the pain comes back after treatment ends, and the knee pain that turned out to be coming from the hip.
