Understand the user

What do our users say about us?

In order to understand the customers, I conducted user calls and talked to customers at the Naturopathy center. In addition I reviewed our Google reviews, WhatsApp reviews and guestbook entries.

User Interview Insights & Patterns Observed:

  • Hygiene Concerns: Four users previously visited other naturopathy centers but cited hygiene as the primary reason for discontinuing their treatments. In contrast, users appreciated Indriya Naturopathy’s focus on maintaining cleanliness.
  • Reduction in Prescription Drug Usage: Most users reported reducing their dependency on prescription drugs after joining Indriya, with painkillers being the most commonly discontinued medication.
  • Referral-Based Awareness: The majority of users discovered Indriya through family referrals.
  • Most Appreciated Features: The natural-based diet plan focusing on gut health was the most valued feature, while mud pack therapy emerged as the top therapy preference.
  • Preferred Digital Platforms: Instagram was the most used app among ICP 1 and ICP 3, while WhatsApp was more frequently used by ICP 2.
  • Pricing Perception: Six users mentioned cost as a concern. Hypothesis: Users perceiving prices as high are likely long-term customers who may have experienced price hikes over time.
  • Doctor Preference: Users under ICP 1 (mothers with one or two children) prefer visiting only when the head naturopath, Dr. Richa Arora, is available to supervise therapies.
  • Search Behavior: Most users relied on Google Search and Google Maps to find naturopathy centers in their area.

Based on the above analysis, I will be prioritizing:

ICP 1 - Mothers of 1-2 Kids & ICP 2 - Senior Citizens because their adoption rate is moderate to high, they have a strong appetite to pay, and their TAM is significant. Additionally, their distribution potential is decent, as they rely heavily on word-of-mouth, social proof, and trusted referrals, making them easier to acquire.

Competitive Landscape & Market Positioning of Indriya Naturopathy

Competitive Landscape

  • Jiva Ayurveda: Strong reputation, AI-powered diagnosis, extensive product line, but requires long-term commitment.
  • Nirvana Naturopathy: Detox-focused, experienced naturopaths, moderate digital presence, but requires significant lifestyle changes.
  • Samshudhi Naturopathy: Lifestyle and diet-based healing, traditional approach, but lacks strong clinical expertise and product offerings.

How Indriya Naturopathy is Faring

  • Strengths: High hygiene standards, personalized treatments, strong word-of-mouth referrals, and a combination of therapies with diet plans.
  • Challenges: Limited digital presence, scalability concerns, and cost perception issues among some users.

Market Positioning

Indriya stands out for hygiene, personalization, and trust but needs to enhance digital presence, improve perceived value, and scale acquisition through content, referrals, and paid ads to compete effectively.


Total no. of potential customers:


TAM Calculation:

1. Population Data: As of mid-2023, India’s population is approximately 1.428 billion. (source)

2. Alternative Medicine Usage: A study indicates that 63.9% of the Indian population utilizes alternative medicine. (source)

3. Calculating TAM: Applying this percentage to the total population:

1.428 billion × 63.9% ≈ 912 million users.


Total Addressable market ~ 91 Cr

TSM Calculation:

  1. Filter 1: People Actively Seeking Naturopathy
    • From the 91 Crore TAM, only those actively seeking Naturopathy, Ayurveda, and similar treatments are relevant.
    • Based on alternative medicine adoption rates (~10-15%), we estimate:
      91 Cr × 10-15% = ~10-14 Cr users.
  2. Filter 2: Urban & Semi-Urban Population
    • Indriya Naturopathy is a physical center, making urban & semi-urban users more relevant.
    • If ~60% of alternative medicine users are in urban/semi-urban areas, we get:
      10-14 Cr × 60% = ~6-8 Cr users.

Total Serviceable Market ~6 Crore

TOM Calculation:

  1. Filter 1: Geographic Reach
    • Indriya Naturopathy is located in Delhi NCR, so only users in and around this region are relevant.
    • If Delhi NCR makes up ~10% of the 6 Cr TSM, we estimate:
      6 Cr × 10% = ~60 Lakh users.
  2. Filter 2: Realistic Market Penetration
    • Not all potential users will convert due to awareness, competition, and pricing barriers.
    • Assuming a 10% conversion rate (based on industry benchmarks for high-trust healthcare services):
      60 Lakh × 10% = ~6 Lakh users.


Total Obtainable Market ~ 6 Lakh users
