Congratulations to the Team Mydocadvisor! I am aware of long hours of research, analysis and back breaking work that your team has done to build up this forum. Mydocadvisor has developed into an extremely useful, totally unbiased, honest and straight forward web tool to look up for genuine advise, whether it is small or complex. Service in Health care needs to be meticulous and honest. Business interests have creeped in of late in our medical field and corporates do have the advantage of team work, professional management, money power & media presence. It is extremely difficult today to differentiate excellence from average. Mydocadvisor certainly guides those who seek excellence in healthcare. Dr. M.S.Ravindra, Eye surgeon

MediAngels.com Online consultation service 2. HealthKart.com e-commerce retail Current Status Helpline (Proposed) Mobile Portal Pharmacies Corporate Tie ups Portal The core service of the portal to help people find and connect with reputed doctors is managed via the portal To tap the mobile market, the firm will also be releasing a mobile application soon Finally to appeal to the offline customers that are not internet or tech savvy we intend to set up a helpline. This can also be used in emergencies. MDA will predominantly be investing in SEO, Online and Social Media marketing. Advertising with Google has resulted in the highest impact till date
As the portal has a steady stream of relevant traffic, it will firstly sell the healthcard via the portal. MDA will also be doing corporate tie ups for bulk orders. For instance credit card companies have show interests and so have large MNCs for their expats in India MDA intends to sell the cards off the shelf in Pharmacies which provide a very target audience for the card MDA will also be targeting employees in MNCs to a both price sensitive, internet savy and tend to be migrants to other cities in need for advice on good doctors.
