About us
Doux Dentistry Pvt Ltd, is an innovative health care company headquartered in Bangalore. Doux(pronounced Doo, in French means Gentle!)
In India and developing countries in Asia, Africa & Latin America 90% of population cannot afford nor have access to dental care. Doux was started with the vision of making dental care "inexpensive" and accessible to over 200 million people in developing countries by 2020.
The ills plaguing health care industry are
1. Health care is delivered only at hospitals & clinics. Very high real estate costs.
2. Very high capital expenses on medical equipment & devices as most are imported.
3. Health care is not organised at scale like IT & ITEs. So benefits of economy of scale is missing.
4. Medical students who graduate are not offered remunerative & meaningful careers and growth.
In 2014 Doux defined a BOLD & DISRUPTIVE strategy by launching MobiDent Dental service by -
1. Building the first mobile dental clinic
2. Hiring dentists in very large numbers and offering them mobile clinics & meaningful careers
3. Focusing on dental care delivery at doorstep. Eliminate high fixed rental costs.
4. Dental care made inexpensive by offering on Preventive Dental Care than expensive treatment.
In 2016, The Economic Times & IIM-A organised India’s largest entrepreneurship competition. MobiDent was among the Top 10 from 19,000 business ideas. Royal Academy of Engineering, London invited the Top 10. MobiDent won the FIRST place.
