Practicon, First Edition

A hundred enquiries last month. How many actually walked in?

Be honest. You would have to guess. So would almost every doctor reading this — and that guess is costing you more than your ad budget ever has.

Two days in Bangalore. Fifty practice owners. Your real numbers on the table.

Four question marks. That is not a design choice — it is what almost every clinic in this country can actually produce when you ask. Day one is spent filling them in with your own figures.

Straight talk

Let me skip the part where I pretend I do not know how your year has gone.

We have sat in more than three thousand one-to-one consults with clinic owners. Different cities, different specialities, same seven or eight sentences. Some of these are going to land.

You had a twenty-two day gap this year and you told absolutely nobody.

When you travel, the clinic stops earning. You feel it in the month's number and you resent it.

You have fired an agency. Possibly two. Same story both times.

A patient negotiated your fee, you caved, and it sat with you the whole evening.

You know which month was your best. You cannot explain why it was your best.

Somebody with a weekend certificate opened down the road and is busier than you are.

You are the most qualified person in that building, and this is the one thing nobody taught you.

None of that makes you a bad doctor. It makes you a doctor who was handed a syllabus with a hole in it — and then told to go and run a business with it.

The premise

Ten years learning to treat patients. Zero hours learning to treat the practice.

So you learn it the expensive way. Three years, one bad decision at a time, with an EMI running underneath the whole thing.

Practicon compresses that. Two days, fifty owners, your actual numbers, and doctors who already built what you are trying to build telling you what it really took.

No stage lights. No motivational nonsense. A room of people at your level, being unusually honest about money.

Who is behind it

I am not going to pretend we are some giant institution.

We are a practice-growth firm in Bangalore. We run patient acquisition and operations for clinics — aesthetics, dermatology, hair, dental, IVF, surgical. That is the entire business. Practicon exists because the same problems kept coming up on our calls, and a room was the honest way to deal with them.

Places a practice leaks patients. Finding yours is day one.
The mechanism

A practice leaks patients in exactly seven places.

Yours is losing money at two of them right now. You do not know which two. Nobody does, until somebody opens the numbers. That is what day one is.

L1Nobody knows you existSearch, maps, feed, referrals. The only leak most agencies ever touch.
L2They know, and they pick someone elseWhy should anyone choose you over the clinic on the next floor? If you paused there, that is the leak.
L3They enquire and you never reach themPhones off, wrong city, people who swear they never enquired. A list of names is not a result.
L4You reach them and they do not bookForty seconds at your front desk, a flat price quote, and the money is gone. You have heard it happen.
L5They book and do not comeAny report that stops at the booking hides this one completely.
L6They come and do not convertThe fee conversation. The comparison shopping. The negotiation you find humiliating.
L7They convert once and never returnYour highest-margin patients are already sitting in your file, being ignored.
On stage

Six doctors. Six specialities. Not one name goes on this page.

And I will tell you exactly why. The moment I publish who is speaking, every competitor in their city knows what they are doing and who they are working with. These are practising doctors with real businesses to protect. They said yes on the condition that the names go to the room, not to the internet.

So the list gets them first. Here is what each one is on stage to answer.

01 · Dermatology & aesthetics

"How do you open the second one without the first one wobbling?"

Funding it, staffing it, and the fourteen months where two clinics earn less than one did.

Name revealed to the list
02 · Dental

"What has to be true before you stop being the only one who can do the work?"

Associates, case handover, and why most owners try this two years too late.

Name revealed to the list
03 · Hair restoration

"How do you hold your price when three cheaper clinics open the same year?"

What he changed instead of discounting, and what it did to his conversion.

Name revealed to the list
04 · IVF & fertility

"How do you build volume when the decision takes nine months?"

Long-consideration acquisition, and keeping staff sane through hundreds of enquiries.

Name revealed to the list
05 · Orthopaedics & surgery

"How do you build your own demand when every patient comes through a referral gate?"

Getting off the referral treadmill without burning the relationships that feed you.

Name revealed to the list
06 · Multi-speciality

"What actually breaks when you go from one location to four?"

The systems that have to exist before the third, told in the order they broke.

Name revealed to the list

Every session is a peer account of running a business. Nobody discusses clinical technique, patient cases or treatment claims from the stage.

The two days

A weekend. Not three clinic days. I know what those cost you.

You will not be taking notes for two days. Every block ends with something finished — built from your figures, argued with by your table, written down before you leave.

Day 1 · MorningThe seven leaks, properly — with live diagnoses volunteered from the roomYou leave withThe framework, and two real practices taken apart in front of you
Day 1 · AfternoonNumbers workshop. You build your own practice P&L and leak map, on paper, with help at the tableYou leave withYour own number, and the two leaks that are actually yours
Day 1 · EveningThe practice dinner. Seated by speciality and city so nobody sits beside a competitorYou leave withEight owners you can call on a bad Tuesday
Day 2 · MorningThe six founder sessions, then open questions at the tables with no scriptYou leave withThe sequence somebody at your level actually followed
Day 2 · MiddayThe systems: front desk, CRM, AI, content, and staying inside what the council allowsYou leave withA written ninety-day execution brief
Day 2 · CloseOne offer, explained once, for anyone who wants the work handled rather than taughtYou leave withA clear choice, and zero obligation to make it
What you take home

Three documents, and fifty numbers in your phone.

01

Your leak map

Your enquiry-to-treatment chain, stage by stage, with the denominators agreed. For most owners it is the first time the whole thing has existed on one page.

02

The practice P&L

Built by you, in the room, at room, chair, doctor and procedure level. Including the number almost nobody has calculated: what one empty Tuesday actually costs.

03

Ninety-day brief

What happens first, who owns it, and how you will know it worked. Reviewed with a facilitator before you walk out of the building.

The room

Fifty owners. Nobody seated beside a competitor.

Tables are set by speciality and city, so the person tearing into your numbers has no reason to hold back — and no reason to take anything home except an idea.

House rules

You have sat through one of these before. So here is what I have put in writing.

Almost every doctor we spoke to said the same thing about the last event they attended: it was a pitch in a hotel ballroom. Fair. So the constraints got written first and the agenda was built to fit inside them.

01Your plan is finished before my pitch startsLeak map, P&L, ninety-day brief — all done before any commercial session begins. You get the thing you came for before I ask you for anything.
02One offer, once, on the printed agendaA single session at the close of day two. You will see it coming, and you are free to go for a walk instead. Nobody will follow you.
03No countdown timers. No invented shortageFifty is the real capacity. When a date is set it is a real date. If we fill up I will say so; if we do not, I will not pretend we did.
04Nobody promises you patient numbersNot me, not the speakers. We will show you where your money is leaking and what the options cost. Anyone quoting you a revenue figure for a medical practice is guessing, or worse.
05Your figures stay in the roomAggregate only, no patient-identifiable data, nothing published or named without written permission. Recording only where every table has agreed.
06If it is not worth it, tell the deskIf by the first tea break on day one you do not think this is worth your weekend, say so at registration. Full refund on the seat, and we cover your travel home. No conversation, no retention pitch.
Fit

This is a narrow room, deliberately.

Fifty seats means saying no to people. I would rather be blunt here than have you sit through two days that were never for you.

Come if

  • You own or co-own the practice and can decide without asking anyone.
  • There is a real decision sitting on your desk — a second location, a hire, the service mix, handing growth to someone, or whether to keep going exactly as you are.
  • You can bring aggregate figures. Collections, costs, capacity, staff structure. Rough is fine. Absent is not.
  • You would rather be argued with by people who run practices than applauded by people who do not.

Do not come if

  • You are hoping somebody hands you a list of patients. That is not what this is.
  • You cannot get two days away from the chair right now. Come to the next one, honestly.
  • The clinic has an unresolved clinical or service problem. Fix that first. Growth only multiplies it.
  • You want a motivational weekend. You will be bored by eleven in the morning and I will have wasted your time.
The list

Dates, venue, and the six names.

Here is the deal, plainly. We are locking the Bangalore venue and the calendar now, and confirming the last two speakers.

The list gets all of it first — including the names, which are not going anywhere public — and seats open to the list before anyone else sees this page.

Joining costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. No call. No pitch. No salesperson ringing you at nine at night. You get the details, you decide, and if the answer is no then it is no.

Fifty is the room's actual capacity. Nothing on this page counts down.

Aggregate figures only — never send patient-identifiable information. We use your details to send the dates and to check the room is a fit. Nothing else, ever.

You are on the list.

The dates, the venue and the six names all come to you on WhatsApp before any of it goes public. If the room looks like a fit for where your practice is right now, I will say so. If it does not, I will tell you that too — and you will not hear from us again unless you ask.
