Share with us the current market trends of your industry.

Many people are becoming health conscious nowadays and mostly opt to go to gyms and diet centres. Fast food and junk food concept is spreading all over, which is leading to various health problems. At Diet Dr Clinic- Powered by Harpreet Pasricha, we consult and make people aware on eating right.

Is there any selection criterion for the potential franchisee? Do you seek partners with prior experience?
