00:00Namaskar, my name is Dighbhijay Singh, Good Returns, welcome to Jota Healthcare Group CEO, Dr. Sujit Paul Ji.
00:08Sir, welcome to Good Returns.
00:10First question, sir, generic medicine that is growing in India.
00:14How does your consumers trust?
00:17What do you want to say about generic medicine?
00:21Our consumers know that for Dawa India, these are always very high quality generic medicines.
00:28And whenever they consume these medicines, they know that they are getting healthier and fitter much faster.
00:34So they are very confident on our quality always.
00:37So in urban areas, trust and awareness, consumers are going to buy stores.
00:44What are the demand for generic medicines in rural areas?
00:48In rural areas, the demand has already started.
00:51We are doing a lot of work in rural areas.
00:53We are working with gram panchayat.
00:55We are working with gram panchayat.
00:57We are working in the interiors of villages to make people understand the utility of high quality generic medicines.
01:03How many new steps are you utilizing in pharma distribution?
01:07Especially in terms of AI.
01:09Are you utilizing it in your distribution activity?
01:12We have initiated AI and blockchain to utilize it so that if you have to have a patient somewhere where they are consuming the generic medicines, then in a moment the medicines are getting finished, then the refills can go through automatically as a trigger.
01:28There are multiple activities that we have initiated through AI, but it's a work in progress always.
01:32Now, when I look at the pre-COVID numbers in your stores, they are double digits in 79, 78, and 2019.
01:40After the COVID pandemic, the numbers are 200 plus.
01:46Now, we are currently around 1,600.
01:50What is your aim for?
01:51How many expenses are you doing in India?
01:55If I talk about the global expenses.
01:58So, for India, we are growing phenomenally faster.
02:02Because our only objective is that across India, we must ensure that everyone can get high quality generic medicines.
02:11So, we are growing exponentially faster in India.
02:13And we would be continuing to spread in the same way to ensure that we make India much more healthy at the earliest.
02:20Now, the tension of COVID is increasing.
02:23The numbers are actively increasing around the world.
02:26In India, there are also 1,000 cases.
02:30How many concerns are we now?
02:33Are we ready for it?
02:34And how many risks are we rolling in the general medicine?
02:37I personally feel that, you know, India is always ready for this.
02:41We are always ready for this.
02:42We are always ready for this.
02:43We are always ready for this.
02:44And we will be ready for this.
02:45And the most important thing is that, this COVID strain, people should not really panic so much.
02:50It's only that, you know, we have to ensure enough amount of protections.
02:53We have to ensure masks.
02:55Otherwise, I think India, as I have told you, is ready for this.
02:59And that, we will be ready for this.
03:02We will always be ready for this.
03:03If you are concerned about the pharmaceutical sector, especially pharma,
03:06the US Tariff has proposed, the US Tariff under President Trump.
03:1025% Tariff under the pharmaceutical sector.
03:14When you are in generic medicines, what kind of impact do you see?
03:19Especially you, or for industry?
03:20I don't foresee too much of impact because by the way our government of India is working we are always in a foolproof situation under the leadership of our honorable prime minister.
03:32The fantastic leadership actually is driving to ensure that India is always protected and there is nothing to worry for any one of us in India.
03:40The current government has a big role in it. The current government has launched a lot of schemes.
03:50You are also actively working with private players. How has the impact on the government of the initiative?
03:58I think the government is working in this country. This is the best government that we have actually seen.
04:05The way the government is working is phenomenal. And the way the government is pushing their stores.
04:12We are also trying to do it from the private level. Because the objective is that the country should be more healthy.
04:19So the government is trying the best from their perspective. We are trying from our perspective.
04:23Because both of us have the same idea that India should be much more healthy and that's what we are doing.
04:28In the primary market, I am talking about the market. You are actively in this time the media appearance is very big.
04:32What is your plan that you are growing and growing? What is your plan that you are growing and growing?
04:37What is your plan that you are looking for in the market?
04:39In the market, you are looking for listing or IPO. What is your plan?
04:43I think it is more important for us to understand what our prime plan is.
04:48Our prime plan is that we will all work together to build a better India on a healthcare segment at large.
04:54Thank you so much sir. Thank you very much for your precious time.
