      Practo’s hospital management system, Insta, trusted by 1500+ healthcare centres globally, announce its transition to SaaS model to drive more value, efficiency, flexibility and scalability for its partner clinics and hospitals.

      The development, part of the company’s holistic growth and profitability strategy, is expect to impact the topline positively, with a 25% increase in healthcare centres.

      With this move, the company aims to improve its integration, enabling timely upgrades and greater ease of use, at 4x lesser costs as compare to conventional IT infrastructures.

      Insta’s ambitious expansion path includes going deeper into the Middle East and Indian markets by providing for local needs.

      It will also enable hospitals to improve operational efficiency by 20%-25% with minimal revenue leakage.

      Post-acquisition in 2015 by Practo, Insta has grown 368% in terms of the number of hospitals and clinics using the service and is clocking a 25%-30% revenue growth year-on-year, over the last two to three years.

      Due to consistent on-demand service and highly automate systems, the retention rate for the business has been 92%, one of the highest in the industry.

      Abhinav Lal, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Practo Said : 

      “We remain committed to our goal of balancing growth with profitability. While our consumer business continues to grow, our B2B business is turning profitable. This transition to SaaS is a strategic step in that direction. It helps us anticipate revenues, shorten sales lifecycle, and deepen integration, thus, creating a more predictable ecosystem for both growth and profitability. We are the leaders in the Middle East market and will continue to invest in that market, to grow both market and revenue share. The India market is ripe for SaaS; it provides much-needed agility that healthcare players are looking for, thus, giving us the confidence of further expansion, in a shorter period of time.”

This is a true example of building in India, for India and the world.”

Overall, we are seeing improved collaboration between different departments and streamlined processes, which has helped us serve our patients better.”
