A ClinicWala e-clinic gives people in your town online consultations with trained doctors, digital prescriptions and lab testing. Running one is a healthcare business, and we select the people who run them with care.
You do not need a medical background. You do need the commitment, the resources and the location to make a healthcare business work.
The clinic itself
500–2000 sq ft of space, or more, and an investment of ₹2–5 lakh or more to set up. If you already have space or a shop, the cost reduces significantly.
Franchises are available across India, so you can choose the location that suits you. Actual project cost varies — the figures above are indicative.

These are the minimum requirements. Not every one is a hard gate — but the more of them you meet, the better the clinic tends to do.
Real commitment to healthcare as a business
We prefer people who care about healthcare — a background in medicine, nursing or public health, or a genuine interest in running healthcare as a business.
Experience running your own business
Ideally in the service industry. It shows you have the business acumen and management skills to run a clinic effectively.
Entrepreneurial drive
A real desire to succeed and a willingness to take calculated risks — to invest time, money and effort, and to adapt as the market and your patients change.
Time to give it
Especially in the early months. Launching and growing the clinic takes real hours, and so does making sure patients get proper care.
Financial resources
Enough to cover the initial investment and ongoing operating expenses. We may ask for a minimum net worth or liquid assets, and you may need third-party financing.
A workable location
Location is critical. We look for good footfall, visibility and access to the people you intend to serve — and compliance with local zoning and medical-facility rules.
The legal side
Appropriate licences and permits, compliance with the regulations covering a healthcare facility, and adherence to our policies on patient care, billing and record-keeping.
Relevant professional experience
Work in a healthcare setting or managing a service business helps you read the market, understand what patients need and build a strategy that holds.
The personal qualities
Communication, leadership and a service orientation. You will be talking to patients and leading a team, and both decide whether people come back.
