Sharing the plans for FY 24-25, Chauhan said, “We plan to expand our reach within India and internationally. Within the country, we have identified around new 50 cities, where we will tie up with local labs and hospitals, and eventually set up our logistics there. We also plan to expand our genomics services across all specialities, i.e. besides oncology. We hope to explore areas such as neurology, mother & child care, endocrinology and much more.”

With Rs 15-20 crore worth investment lined up to execute new plans this year, CORE Diagnostics is also venturing out into areas such as women’s health, and predictive diagnosis in reproductive health. “We are strengthening our focus on conditions like cervical cancer, by developing at-home tests for HPV”, added Chauhan.
