How important is India as a market for Carestream? Tell us about your company’s market share in India?

The Indian healthcare market is extremely important to Carestream. If we look at the revenue and the opportunities generated from the worldwide markets – India is the third largest country or region with the US and China being at the top two.

We are one of the top medical equipment companies in India, especially in the secondary imaging segment. Based on the different business we operate in, we are number one or number two in the industry. But more than focussing on market share, we are looking to capture mind share. This does takes time to develop, but it is a more sustainable model of business.

In healthcare, a lot of companies are struggling to sustain their business. We are seeing a lot of spinoffs and consolidations. What are the lessons you have learnt to sustain your business?

Carestream was established in 2007, prior to which we were part of the healthcare division of Kodak. Our company did face some challenges in the first five years, but we emerged stronger by learning lessons on the way. These challenges have helped us to reshape our company, reinvent strategies and helped us get to the top.

There are a lot of concerns surrounding the quality of medical devices and equipment that are coming to market. A lot of patients’ lives are at stake. What is your opinion on this? What kind of pressure does your company face in these areas?
