Things to Be Mindful Of

  • Doctor video consultation to explain results is the key differentiator from labs that just send PDF reports
  • ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) integration enables digital health records sharing

Unit Economics

Real benchmarks from Indian operators in this space

Customer Acq. Cost

i
How much you spend to win one paying customer — ads, commissions, referrals. Lower is better. Aim to recover this within 3–6 months.

1000

Lifetime Value

i
Total revenue you expect from one customer over their entire relationship with you. Higher LTV = more room to spend on acquisition.

8000

LTV : CAC

i
Ratio of lifetime value to acquisition cost. A ratio above 3:1 is healthy; above 5:1 is excellent. Below 1:1 means you're losing money on each customer.

8

Avg Order Value

i
Average amount a customer spends per transaction. Increasing this (via upsells or bundles) is one of the fastest ways to grow revenue without new customers.

2500

Monthly Churn

i
Percentage of customers who stop paying each month. 2–5% is typical for Indian B2C; under 1% for B2B SaaS. High churn kills growth even with strong acquisition.

25

CAC Payback

i
How long until a customer's payments cover what you spent to acquire them. Under 12 months is strong. Shorter payback = faster you can reinvest in growth.

What Worked

Corporate HR subscriptions — booked entire company for annual health checks at ₹1,499/employee. Diagnostics lab gave us 35% margin, HR got compliance, employees got convenience. Win-win-win model.

Biggest Mistake

Individual consumer marketing was expensive. B2B HR channel had 10x ROI — one HR manager booking brought 50–500 employees. Dropped all B2C spend.
