The company is the market leader as far as IVF cycles is concerned.
Dr Ajay Murdia is a medical doctor. He is also a fertility expert. He started the clinic with just Rs 5,000 in his pocket in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
He is credited with making people understand that men, too, are responsible for infertility and require treatment.
Dr Murdia opened one of India’s first sperm banks in Rajasthan’s Udaipur district. His two sons -- Dr Kshitiz Murdia and Nitiz Murdia –- look after the business now.
