ABOUT US
Sanjivani is a mythical life-saving herb medicine to awake the unconscious man. The majestic, elusive divine herb is among hundreds of medicinal plants that grow between the tree line and the snowline in the alpine meadows and grasslands in the high altitudes of the Garhwali Himalayas. It is also an integral part of the cultural heritage of the country and is deeply rooted in the Indian traditional medicinal system.
Odisha has a population of over 42 million with high levels of poverty and poor maternal and child health. Siddhant says this provides a multi-million rupees unorganized industry potential that could be tapped. Around 86% of rural population and 82% of urban population of India are not covered under any scheme of health expenditure support. Sanjivani is connecting people who have a personal health challenge with those who can best address it.
Siddhant says that this business is ‘Recession Proof’. No matter the state of the economy, people love to treat their loved ones. It is a matter of emotional attachment. The incidental spending on account of attendant; food; lodging and transportation constitute 45% of the overall cost of treatment. This spending on health care is one of the major reasons for pushing households into poverty to fund their own healthcare. In India, 13.68 per cent of household expenditure is spent on health care. An average Indian’s visit to a doctor is 3 times a year.
