 With EzeRx's focus on government bodies and institutions, what strategies have been effective in establishing partnerships and collaborations in these sectors? 

EzeRx's strategy for engaging government bodies and institutions revolves around several key elements. Our non-invasive hemoglobinometer is the first device in India which is validated by ICMR-RMRCBB (Regional Medical Research Centre) in Bhubaneswar. We are the first mover in this genre. Therefore, getting government bodies partnered with us. However, we overcame this hurdle by prioritising accuracy and providing prompt after-sales service, even in remote areas of India. This commitment to quality and customer support earned us the trust of government bodies, showcasing our dedication and reliability. Ultimately, these efforts effectively established successful partnerships and collaborations within these sectors.

How have these partnerships contributed to the company's success so far?

These partnerships have significantly contributed to EzeRx's success by enhancing our reach and impact across various regions. By collaborating with local government bodies in areas such as Ganjam, Cuttack, Puri, Jajpur, Kalahandi, Rayagada, Nayagarh, Bhubaneswar, Assam, Purnia, Arki, Sambhal, Muradabad, Satara, and others, we have been able to leverage their networks and resources to introduce our innovative healthcare solutions effectively. These partnerships have facilitated the adoption of our products and services in diverse communities, enabling us to address healthcare needs more comprehensively and achieve sustainable growth.

Can you provide insights into the specific challenges and opportunities encountered in addressing healthcare needs in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities? 

Tier 2 and 3 healthcare struggles with a lack of specialists, equipment, and awareness. Yet, rising demand and government initiatives create opportunities for telemedicine, affordability programmes, and local innovation to improve access and quality.
