Frequently Asked Questions
Can MBBS graduates start their own business?
Yes. MBBS graduates can start private clinics, polyclinics, diagnostic centres (with appropriate licensing), telemedicine platforms, health-tech companies, and healthcare consulting firms. Many require additional licensing but no specific permission to start a business as a doctor.
How much investment is needed to start a private clinic?
A basic single-doctor clinic can be started with 5-15 lakh INR. A polyclinic with 3-5 doctors requires 30-80 lakh. A multi-speciality hospital with 20+ beds requires 2-10+ crore depending on location and specialties.
Do I need MD/MS to start private practice?
No. MBBS graduates can legally practise and set up clinics. However, specialty practices benefit from a PG degree for clinical depth and patient trust. Many successful practices are built by MBBS graduates focusing on primary care.
