Strong support for business and medical studies

DocTutorials is located in Hyderabad in southern India, a city with a population of over 40 million people that has attracted attention in recent years as various major global IT companies have established offices there. DocTutorials, a startup for medical education, was founded in this IT-friendly city in 2017. Karteek Routh, one of the co-founders, says, “Our mission is to empower people who aspire to become doctors. We aim to become the best online medical education platform offering the finest learning resources for the doctors of the future.”
In recent years, over 2 million students annually take India’s national entrance examination for medical and dental studies, known as NEET*, with the hope of securing one of approximately 100,000 seats.

The number of people taking the exam is increasing every year, and the enthusiasm for medical studies is only growing stronger. Therefore, since its inception, DocTutorials has been operating a dedicated app for medical studies as well as publishing services aimed at medical professionals and entrance exam candidates in order to meet such needs. The number of students have now reached around 20,000, and they continue to receive new people signing up.
Ram Prasad, who is in-charge of publishing, explains, “Until now, we typically produced medical-related content and publications in-house, and only the printing was outsourced to an external company.” However, by outsourcing printing, delivery gets delayed and concerns about confidentiality became major issues. As a result, DocTutorials decided to install four ComColor in November 2023, and has been printing everything in-house since then. Talking about this move, Prasad says, "When we were outsourcing printing, we had to print in black and white to reduce costs, but printing in-house has allowed us to make all printed materials full color. We are also able to keep our content confidential, and so I am very satisfied." Mr. Balraji, the purchasing manager, also approves and comments, “There is no other printer available in the market that not only let us reduce printing costs this much, but also has such high productivity.” In India’s booming medical education industry, ComColor offers strong support to DocTutorials’ business and in helping students who aspire to become doctors in the future to achieve their dreams.
