Hair Restoration Service Provider Honored by Frost & Sullivan with India Healthcare Award

Frost & Sullivan recently hosted their India Healthcare Excellence Awards banquet in Mumbai to honor those healthcare providers that demonstrate leadership, strategy, growth, innovation, and more. One company, DHI India, was honored as the recipient of the Hair Restoration Service Provider Company of the Year Award 2013.

The award, based on research and an evaluation of the company's services, was particularly important because hair restoration is  an up and coming trend in India. The market is growing at a CAGR of 25-30 percent in cities like Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and more.

The company has also been in business in the country for the last three and a half years and has seventeen centers across India, with nine added just last year.

In addition to recognizing an annual 25 percent increase in patients, the company has put a particular focus on improving customer satisfaction as well as providing better pricing and hair restoration techniques like the use of Direct Hair Implantation, which eliminates the use of a scalpel and scars and is not painful.  

The company has even set up a dedicated DHI Training Academy in Athens, Greece that is used for research and training on hair restoration techniques and touts scientific exchanges with ISHRS in the U.S.

Dr. Viral Desai, Promoter and Medical Director of DHI India said, “Today's consumer appreciates 'value' more than 'cost'. The result is that organized players, with standardized systems and evolved processes, are being sought to meet evolving consumer preferences. With its scientific innovation backed offerings, DHI is at the forefront of this industry and we are very positive about the evolution of this ecosystem and the future of DHI in India."

Also commenting on the award win, Kamayani Kanwar, a promoter of DHI India, thanks Frost & Sullivan for the award recognition and said the company is looking to do for the hair transplant industry,  “What Apple did to computers.”
