In accordance with a report by Pricewaterhouse coopers(PWC), the present valuation of the Indian pathology market stands at Rs. 18,502 Crore, registering a commendable growth rate of 20 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). Particularly amidst the pandemic and its aftermath, this sector has witnessed a substantial surge in demand due to the escalating number of patients necessitating pathological tests and processes. The proliferation of pathology labs across the country has been further propelled by advanced technological innovations. However, it is noteworthy that the pathology segment in India has traditionally operated from the backend, with experts in the field primarily engaged in the anticipated diagnosis of other physicians, rarely participating in direct communication with patients.

This observed gap in the pathology sector was meticulously identified by Dr. Arjun Dang, the CEO of Dr. Dangs Lab. Consequently, he embarked upon a strategic reimagining of pathological processes by actively operating from the front end and fostering direct communication with patients. Dr. Dang posits that front end interactions between pathologists and patients not only enhance the value of the diagnostic and treatment processes but also contribute significantly to patient understanding. “We always look forward to providing personalized pathological solutions which have proven to be very effective in enhancing patient care. In the healthcare sector, most of it depends on providing the optimum form of treatment and care for the patient and look after what is best for them. A personalized approach to pathology adds considerable value to the overall diagnosis of a patient", mentions Dr. Arjun Dang. The emphasis at Dr. Dangs Lab is on delivering personalized pathological solutions, a methodology proven to be highly

efficacious in enhancing patient outcomes. Dr. Arjun Dang underscores this, stating, "In the healthcare sector, the efficacy of treatment and care is contingent upon offering personalized solutions that cater to the individual needs of the patient, thereby adding considerable value to the overall diagnostic process".

Standing Out

Establishing a legacy spanning four decades, Dr. Dangs Lab has been a stalwart presence in the market, adeptly navigating the ebbs and flows of the pathology sector. The company, under the able leadership of Dr. Arjun Dang, currently operates from two state-of-the-art laboratories, situated in Delhi and Gurgaon. Over the past forty years, the company has played a pivotal role in impacting lives and fortifying a robust reputation across the National Capital Region (NCR).

The company leverages the most advanced technologies in the pathology sector. “We use the most advanced technologies available in the pathology sector now but what we believe is that the person behind the machine makes more of a difference than the machine itself. This is why we invest considerably in training and development and always try to hire highly skilled manpower. We have recently launched our first-ever AI powered CRD testing machine for testing allergies which is able to detect up to 160 kinds of allergies and is one of the cutting-edge technologies on pathology available in the market", states Dr. Dang.

Adhering unwaveringly to stringent quality guidelines mandated by Indian healthcare regulatory standards, the company maintains an internal quality control department tasked with ensuring scrupulous adherence to quality assurance standards. In addition to internal measures, Dr. Dangs Lab subjects itself to external quality control measures, including third-party audits and inspections.

Looking Ahead

The company remains resolute in its commitment to prioritizing value over volume. Dr. Dang articulates the company's aspiration to expand its geographical presence to encompass more cities across the country in the coming years. “We want to carry on with the good work and have our presence in more cities of the country in the years to come", concludes Dr. Dang.
