β
Over the years, Clinikk has created a healthcare service and product which can be any personβs first point of contact for their illness or worry.
β
The healthcare system in India is not the ideal solution for an ailing customer. Clinikk is trying to redefine the healthcare experience by solving core problems and providing exceptional and quality care at an affordable cost.
βProblem Statement 1:
β
In India, only the top 1% have the purchasing power to treat at the best hospitals and consult the best doctors. What it means, is visiting a doctor for health for a lower socio-economic background person can sometimes be a luxury.
β
This 2015 survey says over 52% of Indians indulge in self-medication. Source
β
This number has significantly increased since COVID-19. Self-medication is very common in India because:
β
β
In India, when a patient is sick, in his/her entire journey to cure, it's the patient who suffers the most - mostly because of the healthcare system.
β
Unfortunately, doctors have tie-ups with pharmaceutical companies to overprescribe their drugs or with diagnostic partners to overprescribe tests for commissions. This leads to incorrect treatment, unnecessary medicines and tests and most importantly higher expenditure (often not needed) for the patient.
Adding to it is the loss of time waiting in queues, unhygienic clinics and waiting bays and dissatisfaction with very little face time with the doctor. In their entire journey, the patient who needs care is nothing but a token number and a mode of extortion for money.
The doctors generally have a hospital job and they consult patients for a shorter duration of the day. So, even if you are sick, your access to the doctor is generally for a few hours at the clinic, unless you want to visit the hospital's Outpatient Department (OPD) Also, many times, the patients have to travel a while to the referred diagnostics for tests, which might be physically stressful, since the patient is already unwell.
β
Clinikk wants to provide the best primary care at the most affordable cost to anyone, and everyone. The intent is "when you are sick, you should rest and rely on Clinikk to get the job done of treating you; without the worry of convenience and affordability."
β
To solve the issues in healthcare in India, Clinikk has 11 primary clinics across Bengaluru striving to serve the people with the care they always deserved.
β
These primary clinics are called Clinikk Health Hubs and have a General Physician (MBBS), pharmacy and blood test facilities under the same roof.
β
β
β
β
In India, because of the kind of healthcare system, people avoid going to the doctor unless necessary. This sometimes is detrimental to their health.
Let's imagine the following scenario:
β
1οΈβ£ Rahul has a mild pain in his abdomen. He ignores the pain and avoids consulting a doctor because of long waiting hours, distrust of the doctor, fear of unnecessary prescriptions and huge expenditure
2οΈβ£ Rahul's pain aggravates and reaches an unbearable condition. He is forced to visit a doctor
3οΈβ£ At this stage, the doctor writes a ton of tests, which Rahul had to comply resulting in huge expenses. Also, to relieve his pain, the doctor prescribes several medicines that add to the bill amount.
4οΈβ£ Even after the medication, the pain doesn't subside and Rahul is forced to follow up with the doctor in 2 days.
β
5οΈβ£ The doctor now diagnoses Rahul with a Kidney stone and refers him to immediate surgery.
6οΈβ£ Rahul is hospitalized and gets the surgery. He had already spent thousands of rupees towards his OPD expenses. Now, he is also forced to pay for the hospitalization.
β
This is a common story of almost everyone in India. OPD expenses contribute to 62% of healthcare costs in India. OPD expenses include doctor consultations, diagnostic tests and medicines. Source
The sheer reluctance to get early checkups leads to serious diseases resulting in massive loss of money.
β
Whatever Rahul faced could have been avoided if he had access to "Managed Care".
The term βmanaged careβ is used to describe a type of health care focused on helping to reduce costs, while keeping quality of care high.
Clinikk provides managed care in the form of their subscription/Membership product called Clinikk Smart Plan.
β
With Clinikk Smart Plan, Rahul would get Health Insurance along with OPD benefits like free doctors, medicines, and lab tests at any Clinikks in his city. He would also have access to teleconsultation with a doctor 24x7.
In other words, by paying just one premium he would be covered from both OPD and Hospitalization expenses.
β
if Rahul had Clinikk Plans, his case would look like:
1οΈβ£ Rahul has a mild pain in his abdomen. He calls his doctor to ask if it is serious. The doctor calls him for a checkup
β
2οΈβ£ Rahul visits his doctor, someone who knows his medical history. He prescribes tests that are already covered, so they are free for Rahul
3οΈβ£ The doctor diagnoses early signs of kidney stone and starts medication
4οΈβ£ After 2 months, Rahul is cured without the need for surgery.
β
Just because Rahul had access to quality and affordable healthcare, he prevented a serious disease at the early stage because now he did not mind consulting a doctor for any issue. This resulted in a better health regime and wellness. This is managed care and this is what Clinikk is trying to introduce in India.
β
β
There are essentially two products that drive the revenue of the company.
Clinikk Health Hubs are primary clinics owned and maintained by Clinikk.

Clinikk Smart Plan is a subscription/membership product that provides complete financial cover for all medical expenses.
The Subscription product offers free OPD services ( free doctor, meds, tests, specialists up to OPD limits) at all Clinikk Health Hubs and Health Insurance (in case of hospitalization) at 10,000 network hospitals pan India (third-party insurer tie-up).
β
The Clinikk Subscription product starts at βΉ7,680 for an individual (OPD limit - βΉ15,000 & Sum Insured for Insurance - βΉ5 Lakhs). The highest product price is βΉ28,600 for a family of up to 3 children (OPD limit - βΉ25,000 & Sum Insured for Insurance - βΉ55 Lakhs)
The profit margin is 30% on this product

For this project, I will choose the first product - CLINIKK HEALTH HUBs
β
β
βRight now, the growth of the company's medical revenue through clinic walk-ins is of utmost importance. The prime focus is to break even at all the Clinikk centres to negate the Operation costs and create a playbook for retail growth.
With ongoing fundraising discussion, the next step for Clinikk is to scale across multiple cities (after fund-raise) and establish more clinics to fulfil the care needs of India, and eventually acquiring users for subscriptions.

"Get treated by the best family doctor near you for your and your family's health problems at any time" - Clinikk
Clinikk wants to deliver the best health care for patients in the most affordable, accessible and modern way.
The average Google Ratings of the 11 Clinikk Health Hubs is 4.9 in Google and 4.8 in Practo. The doctors are highly rated and trusted in the community for their modern and structured approach to diagnosis. The doctors undergo regular training and audit to maintain the same quality of care across all branches. The in-house medical software (Doctor Dashboard) enables medical protocol-led diagnosis and suggestions that help doctors to treat and prescribe whatever is best for the patient. Patients are not overprescribed medicines or tests if not required for the sake of AOV - this is the biggest CPV of Clinikk and is strictly monitored.
There are 11 clinics owned and maintained by Cliniikk across Bengaluru which are modern and premium; the entire patient workflow is designed so that the average wait time of a patient is not more than 5 minutes- this means less waiting time but ample face time with the doctor. The locations of the Clinikk strategically cover almost all the major zones of Bengaluru, making it convenient for patients to travel. Medicines, lab tests and medical procedures (like injection, IV fluid, wound dressing etc) are available in the same clinic making it easier for patients. The doctors are available 8 hours in a day for 6 days in a week. If needed, users can consult online with the doctor through an audio or video call 24x7 - thus giving them access to doctors anytime.
The consultation fee for a general physician at a Clinikk Health Hub is just βΉ250. While the average consultation fee for a GP in Bengaluru is βΉ500, Clinikk provides it at almost half the price. The low cost is in no way a compromise to the quality of the clinics or the premiumness of the setup. Also, if a user comes back for a follow-up within 7 days, it is free. The medicines and tests are also available at a cheaper rate than in the market otherwise.
Being a tech-first company, Clinikk is innovating newer means to break the traditional healthcare system and incorporate technology to make life easier. At Clinikk, all prescriptions and medical reports are stored digitally and can be accessed from the website via a browser at any point in time. This not only avoids the unnecessary requirement of carrying medical reports but also the time spent repeating medical history each time you visit a doctor. The medical reports are well accessible to the doctors, and they can take decisions based on that, even if the doctor who saw you last has changed. This enables patients to visit doctors paperless or refer to readable prescriptions without the worry of keeping the prescription safe and without having to repeat the same medical story again and again.

Detailed Analysis later in the segmentation section ππΌ
β
When discussing the most valued features of Clinikk, users appreciated the clinic's modern approach, emphasizing the reduced waiting time and the extensive duration of doctor consultations. Users also highlighted the convenience of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and easy access to prescriptions and previous medical history.
The warmth and friendliness of the clinic staff were cited as compelling reasons for return. Also, the less waiting time and easy access to doctors seemed to be very helpful for these users.
"The caring attitude of the staff, alongside the excellent treatment provided by the doctors, makes us feel valued and well-cared for," Anita Desai (34 years old, mother of two) - With Clinikk since March 2022; she and her family visited 6 times in 2023.
β
Different types of users had different frequencies for their use cases.
"I don't need to visit often, maybe just once or twice a year. But when I do, I know I'll get the attention and care I need." Vivek Singh (29 years old, Software developer and marathon runner)
However, users with family have more frequency of usage. Typically around 4-5 times a year. Chronic patients or Clinikk subscribers also have a higher rate of frequency that ranges from 8-15 times a year.
β
Families and chronic patients find Clinikk most valuable. Their use cases are also more; for a family with elderly and kids, the frequency of visits and need for a doctor is more and the convenience at Clinikik makes it even more valuable to them.
6/10 users who found Clinikk a great find had brought their kid or parents at least two times to consult a doctor.
β
Few of the users I spoke to mentioned teleconsultations as the least effective mode of getting treatment if not for follow-ups. 4/7 users mentioned that they prefer in-person consultation to teleconsultations for their first visit as they prefer the doctor to inspect them personally over virtual discussion.
β
The decision to upgrade to a subscription product was influenced by the overall quality of care and the seamless availability of healthcare services. Also, repeated usage of Clinikk eventually helps them with the math where they realise the value of savings on medical bills with the Clinikk Subscription plan.
"It was a no-brainer for me. The level of care, the on-call doctors, and the ease of getting my medication and tests done convinced me to become a subscriber," Akshay Reddy (45 years old, business owner with hypertension). With Clinikk since November 2021; became a subscriber in January 2022.
β
β
I tried speaking to a few of the churned users and the common two reasons seemed to be location constraints or service experience.
"I shifted to Whitefield after switching my job, there isn't any Clinikk here, and the travelling to Kaggadaspura branch is too much of a pain." Priya (34 YO, IT Employee, Visited Clinikk Koramangala 6 times between Aug 2022 to Nov 2023)
Users like Priya value proximity and ease of access in their healthcare decisions. Although satisfied with Clinikk's services, a significant number of users who face changes in their living or work locations find it challenging to continue their care with the clinic, particularly if moving to an area not serviced by Clinikk's network.
"I was suffering from a severe cough and got the medication mentioned by your doctor but I was not cured. I later showed another doctor in Apollo and his treatment worked miracles. I don't think your doctors are experienced enough", Prashanth (33, Buisnessman, Non-subscriber)
Effective treatment is crucial for building trust in healthcare. When patients experience relief from their symptoms through the prescribed treatment, it reinforces their faith in the medical professionals' expertise. However, if the treatment fails to alleviate the condition, patients may doubt the doctors' knowledge and competence, leading to a loss of trust in the healthcare system. Users like Prashanth associate their trust to a healthcare service from the time taken to recover and the treatment quality.
β
For the majority of the users service efficiency and quality are paramount. A potential shift in these areas could prompt patients to consider alternative healthcare providers. This sentiment is echoed by many users who prioritize minimal wait times and high standards of medical care, and who would likely explore other options should Clinikk's service levels falter.
"I think doctor's treatment is important, if I think the doctor is not able to fix my issue or the prescribed treatment is not efficient, I will look for a better option", Adarsh (32 YO, non-subscriber, Migrant, IT employee)
β
"I consider Clinikk as a family doctor but I might not consult your doctors for something major", Adarsh (32 YO, non-subscriber, Migrant, IT employee)
6/11 Non-subscriber patients felt that Clinikk is their family doctor for all primary health issues but would not consider it as a first-line of care for everything health.
However, the same question with members had a different response.
"I go to Clinikk for all my health issues and based on the doctor'sresponses advice take next steps", Deepthi (46 YO, married, Subscriber since Feb 2022)
Deepthi's statement reflects a strong trust in Clinikk as a primary healthcare provider for her family, an opinion shared by many other subscribers (5/5 subscribers had similar responses) who view Clinikk's comprehensive and personalized care as central to their family's health. The clinic's ability to maintain detailed medical histories and provide consistent care makes it a trusted first line of care for these users.
β
Although the majority of the users ended up responding "Nothing as of now", there were few responses that helped us identify user's desires for enhancements to Clinikk's service offerings.
3/8 users expressed a desire for more tailored health insights and proactive wellness tips that go beyond general advice. This feedback suggests that while Clinikk's current services are valued, there is an opportunity to deepen patient engagement and satisfaction by providing more customized health information and support - may be in the form of preventive checkups, time-based monitoring and health-planning
β
"Medicine delivery could have been very useful; sometimes coming back to Clinikk for prescription fulfilment is a pain. " - Sanjay Gowda (47 years old, Diabetic - With Clinikk since Jun 2022; not a subscriber yet).
This is a common complaint I could hear from chronic patients, both members and non-members. Few of the non-members have already switched to procuring medicines from their local pharmacy. They think anyways Clinikk gives generic medicines; why not buy branded meds from a more convenient option? This has impacted the AOV of these users.
3/5 Chronic Patients I spoke to, have a decreased AOV over months - it clearly shows that there are months when they do not purchase from Clinikk; but months when they come for a doctor check-up, they do get some dosage of the medicines from the clinic.
β
Keeping the above frequency in mind, any user who visits Clinikk >=2 times a year is considered activated.
β
Although this is a generalised number, the frequency might vary on multiple other factors, like season/climate changes, immunity of the user, convenience to the doctor, interest in consulting a doctor vs over-the-counter-medicine procurement or self-medication, age, family size, and chronic diseases.
Classification of frequency based on a few factors:
β
β
β
Clinikk has a subscription product that provides all of the core value propositions for FREE. Here is how the subscription product works:
Imagine a Cult Fit for Health care - if you have a Clinikk subscription, you can visit any of the 11 clinics across Bengaluru and get treated for FREE (up to the OPD limit) also get Health Insurance for a minimum of βΉ5 Lakh Sum insured
Clinikk Smart Plan (Subscription Product) =
β
β
This product refers to the Core Value Prop - Affordable and accessible healthcare for all.
OPD Cover:
Users get free OPD benefits that include FREE medicines, lab tests, medical procedures, diagnostics and specialist treatment up to their OPD limit. An OPD limit is set for each type of plan user.
All Clinikk Doctor fees (in-person & online) for subscribers are FREE and Unlimited (not deducted from OPD limit)
Type of Plan | OPD limit (yearly) | The average frequency and spent for a similar user in India in a year (including doctor consult): |
---|---|---|
Individual | 15,000 | 3 visits with AOV of βΉ1500 |
Couple | 20,000 | 6 visits with AOV of βΉ2000 |
Family (up to 3 Kids) | 25,000 | 9 visits with AOV of βΉ2500 |
β
β
Also, if you have an issue that needs Specialist care (like Cardiologist, Gynaecologist, ENT, Ophthalmologist etc) the Clinikk doctor will refer you and the bill amount for the specialist will be reimbursed. This will be deducted from the OPD limit.
β
IPD Cover (Health Insurance)
Users get a minimum Sum value Insured of βΉ5,00,000 applicable for cashless treatment at 10,000+ network hospitals in India. This value can be increased up to βΉ55,00,000 with an increased premium option. The Health Insurance is provided by a third-party insurer, however, Clinikk's support team can help in the claim support 24x7.
β
The natural frequency of Clinikk Plan subscribers is 5-6 times a year.
β
Since the user pays for the subscription, they want to utilize the Clinikk benefits more and hence they consider Clinikk as the first line of medical help for all health issues. Since the specialists are also covered in their plan, Clinikk subscribers/members consult our doctors and get treated for all small-big issues. The average AOV of a member is between βΉ750-800 (which is covered).
β
Engagement Framework | Key Tracking Metrics | Selected | Rationale |
---|---|---|---|
Depth | Total amount spent by the user at Clinikk: Frequency x AOV | Yes | If the AOV of the user is good, that means they are trusting Clinikk for the medicines as well as other tests (apart from the consultation fees). This means their level of trust in our care is higher; also, they are using the core value proposition the most. This is a key indicator of a power or loyal user. However, the frequency depends on the use case and other factors |
Frequency | Number of times the ,user chooses Clinikk | Yes | If a user starts using Clinikk for all its primary healthcarethe issues, that means we are successful in getting the top-of-mind recall of these users. Also, frequency can be considered as any interaction with Clinikk including teleconsultations as well. |
Breadth | Features like AI assistant, WhatsApp chat feature | No | Using these features individually will not increase the overall value of our product; however, it can cause some brand recall or these could be the features that could be built into something better to improve brand recall for users so that they remember Clinikk even when not sick. |
What makes someone an Active User of Clinikk?
β
β
β
β
β
β
β
Active users of Clinikk can be segmented based on the following categories:
β
β
β
β | Power | Core | Casual |
---|---|---|---|
Behaviour | These users have chosen Clinikk as their primary healthcare provider for themselves and their families. They consult Clinikk's doctors for all health-related matters, even if they require specialist care. In such cases, they seek advice or consultation from Clinikk's doctors before proceeding further. | These users consider Clinikk only for primary health when they are sick. They still do not trust Clinikk for serious issues. They may or not may be very comfortable with tele-consults yet. | These users visit Clinikk only when they are sick for more than 3 days; they chose Clinikk mainly for convenience and affordability |
Loyalty | High | Medium to High (Might still have a family doctor back in hometown; might be loyal for primary issues only) | Low (Little loyalty; might switch to a doctor if no Clinikk doctor nearby) |
Frequency | 6+ interactions with Clinikk doctor (includes visits and teleconsultations) 4+ visits a year | 3-5 interactions with Clinikk (visits + tele-consultations) 3+ visits a year | 1-2 visits a year |

Referrals | High level of commitment and trust. (okay to refer others to this doctor) Has referred >= 1 person to Clinikk | Medium Level of Commitment but a high level of trust. (okay to refer others to this doctor) | Low Level of Commitment but medium level of trust. (not yet okay to refer others to this doctor) |
Rationale | Clinikk wants to be the primary health care provider for an individual and family; someone who values this proposition is already a power user and their chances of upgrading to a subscriber are extremely high if not already done. | These users like Clinikk's doctor and experience but do not consider Clinikk as their first point of medical help. However, whenever they're sick, they do visit Clinikk for a quick recovery of their (as well as their family's) health issue. If they think, they require a specialist's help, they will visit one directly. | These users like the Clinikk experience but might not use it for a majority of use cases. These users have not tried out all the features. They might have trust in Clinikk doctors but they may or not prefer getting meds and tests in Clinikk. |

Acute Patients | These patients generally visit a doctor for the medical issue at hand. Typically short-term issues; | Frequency is less and depends on when the user falls sick; Typically for Indians, it ranges from 2-3 times a year | AOV is generally less in Clinikk; |
| Not much use case to subscribe to Clinikk unless they sign up for their families as well | β Easy access to doctor β
Good Treatment |
Chronic Patients | These patients generally visit a doctor more frequently for their long-term health issues.

Typically it ranges from once every month to once in 3 months | AOV is generally more; There is a constant recurring medicine refill cost that can be made from their monthly prescription fulfillment |
| Potential use case for Clinikk subscription but because of Pre-existing disease, they might not be able to qualify for Health insurance. So an OPD-only product needs to be created for this segment. | β Easy access to doctor β EHR β Tele consultation β Medicines and Tests at the same clinic |

This offer would incentivize them to refer their kids, families, or relatives with families, as they would benefit from bringing their own families. Additionally, this helps us acquire more chronic patients. Chronic patients generally have a higher frequency of usage, and with their parents as patients, it becomes easier to increase the average order value later after the initial discount period. | ||
How will the offer help in the Goal | A discounted bill amount for their families for a year will encourage these users to start bringing them to Clinikk. Once they experience the care and chronic disease monitoring protocol at Clinikk, they are likely to repeat for their families more often. This will drive them to consider Clinikk as their family physician. | ||

---|---|---|---|
Target User Segment | ICP 1 (Swathi) Casual Users (Move Casual β Core) | ||
Goal of the campaign | To get students or first-time users of the community to start using Clinikk for all health issues because of the pass. | ||
How will the offer help in the Goal | These young users tend to look for affordable solutions, which is why they often avoid visiting a doctor. Offering a pass like this will encourage them to utilize Clinikk for more use cases. When you have a pass that offers discounts (e.g., Zomato Gold, Swiggy One, Ola Pass, etc.), you tend to use that product for all your requirements. Additionally, this pass provides free teleconsultations, which can get these students hooked on this digital feature and potentially lead to repeat usage later. Since the natural frequency of these users is 1-2 times a year, giving discounts on 5 bills might also lead to increased frequency. | ||

β
The average healthcare entity experiences a growth rate of 45%, but a churn rate of 48%, indicating that clinics lose patients at a slightly faster rate than they gain new ones. Source
At the end of a period of 18 months, the average frequency of retained users is >=2 (2.5 to be precise; i.e 2-3)
Any user with visits <= 2 after this period is considered churned. And that has been the trend.
β
The average month-on-month retention rate is around 72%.
Average Fresh Patients: ~ 979
Average Total Patients: ~ 3495
Average Repeat Patients: ~ 2517

The curve seems to flatten at 72% after around 8 months of the first visit.

Users with the best retention rate are typically:
β
These are users who have settled in Bengaluru for their work and are originally from different cities. These users often do not have a family doctor in the city and are looking for a good health care provider whom they can consult for everything health. Clinikk, with its comprehensive services, appeals to these individuals who prioritize convenience, digital engagement, and quality healthcare. The Clinikk's use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and its provision for teleconsultations cater perfectly to their digital-first approach. Services like minimal wait times, convenience, better quality care and digital effectiveness resonate well with the lifestyle of migrant users, leading to higher retention rates among this demographic.
β
Families, whether local or migrant, tend to have diverse and frequent healthcare needs, spanning from pediatric to geriatric care. Clinikk offers a range of services under one roof, significantly reducing the logistical hassle of fulfilling multiple medical requirements like medicines, blood tests, and injections across different places. This convenience is particularly valuable for busy families seeking quality healthcare. Additionally, Clinikk's protocol-based diagnostic approach, avoiding extra medicines and tests coupled with digital conveniences like EHR and easy teleconsultation options, ensures that family users see Clinikk as a reliable and trustworthy health partner for all members, thus fostering strong retention.
β
β
Patients with chronic conditions require consistent, ongoing care and monitoring, which Clinikk is well-equipped to provide. The ability to offer regular check-ups, sustained treatment plans, and comprehensive support for chronic diseases plays a crucial role in patient retention. Chronic patients benefit from the continuity of care, the ease of tracking health progress through EHRs, and the convenience of having their medication and diagnostic tests managed in one place. Clinikk's integrated care model thus aligns with the needs of chronic patients, making it a preferred choice for their long-term health management.
β
Referral channels rely mainly on trust and personal recommendations from satisfied patients. When current patients refer Clinikk to their friends and family, it's a strong endorsement of Clinikk's quality of care and services, leading the new patients to approach the clinic with a positive predisposition, which can foster loyalty and long-term retention.
β
Platforms like Google and Practo are critical due to their role in helping patients make informed decisions based on reviews, ratings, and detailed clinic profiles. Potential patients often use these platforms as a vetting tool; a clinic with high ratings and positive reviews on these sites can attract and retain patients who are looking for reputable and reliable healthcare providers; this works very well with migrant users who are looking for a family doctor in the new city.
β
Engagement in community activities positions Clinikk as a healthcare provider who cares about community well-being, creating a positive brand image that resonates with local residents. This presence and involvement can strengthen the bond with the community, encouraging residents to turn to Clinikk for their healthcare needs consistently and contributing to higher patient retention. Also, locals residing closer to Clinikk find the proximity a great convenience and that drives long-term retention.
β
When patients commit to a subscription with Clinikk, the retention rates improve significantly due to the perceived value and the convenience of the services provided. Subscribers, having prepaid for their healthcare services, are more inclined to utilize Clinikk for all their medical needs to maximize the benefits of their investment. The Clinikk subscription covers unlimited doctor consultations, both in-person and online, as well as medications, tests, and proceduresβcreating a sense of assured healthcare accessibility that is both cost-effective and convenient. Also, the ability to get specialist referrals and have those bills reimbursed up to their outpatient (OPD) limit adds to the appeal, providing a complete healthcare solution. This extensive coverage encourages subscribers to prioritize Clinikk for their healthcare requirements, leading to higher retention as they seek to derive the maximum value from their subscriptions.
