 At least 10 international clinics will be opened in 2016, according to Dr Batra's founder chairman, <keyword id="126248" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mukesh-Batra">Mukesh Batra</keyword>. The clinics would require an investment of Rs1-2 crore each if not opened through a franchise, he said. 
 
After establishing its presence in Tier-I, II and III Indian cities, the brand now looks to enter 10 international markets through its clinic services and products, said Batra. These markets include Bahrain, Switzerland, Canada, France, Malaysia and South Africa, he said. 
 
According to him, Dr Batra's will also add more clinics in countries where it already has a presence, with 10 more clinics in India, four more in the United Arab Emirates and two more in London. 
 
Dr Batra's aims to operate 450 clinics globally in the next five years through its international expansion, said Batra. India would account for at least 210 of these, he said. 
 
"Homeopathy is recognized in 86 countries. This is an opportunity to go to markets where we can expand further," said Batra. 
 
In Dubai, the brand has become more well-known over the last six years, said Batra. "When we started out in Dubai, all of our patients were NRIs. Now, at least 30% of our clients there are local residents or (non-Indian) expats," he said. 
 
At the same time, stringent healthcare regulations in international markets could pose a challenge, he said. "Sometimes, registrations and work permits for doctors are difficult in these countries," he said.

Dr Batra's to expand internationally with an investment of Rs 20 crore

New Delhi, Apr 8 () Eminent personalities, including BJP leader Maneka Gandhi, have appealed to people to take care of cats and dogs and not fall for rumours of them being vectors of novel coronavirus. "Cats cannot give or get coronavirus. If you have seen some nonsensical thing on television that a tiger in one zoo has got it. Remember this a cat is not a tiger. There is no relationship. It is same as comparing dogs to wolves," Gandhi, who is also an animal rights activist, said in a video message on Twitter. The BJP MP's reaction comes after several incidents of attacks on cats and dogs were reported due to misinformation that they can be vectors of COVID-19. Asserting that a cat cannot be compared to a tiger which reportedly contracted the coronavirus in a zoo in New York, the former Union Minister said there is no relationship between the two. "Your cats are completely safe to be around so allow people to feed them. Allow them to be in every colony. They are a great asset," she said. Wrestler and philanthropist Sangram Singh said it is absolutely incorrect that cats and dogs spead coronavirus. "Pets can spread only one thing and that is love. So please take care of your pets and also ensure street animals are taken care of," he said in a video message. Mukesh Batra, Founder and Chief Managing Director, Batra's Positive Health Clinic Private Limited said the new coronavirus does not spread from pets. "In fact, it is the love you get from them that will keep you going in these times," Batra said. UZM CK

But it’s not just TikTok alone. The ban on the app in India along with several other Chinese apps in late June this year gave its clone apps overnight popularity. It even saw Facebook pushing out its new Instagram update and TikTok lookalike – <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/instagram-reels-is-being-quietly-tested-in-india-just-days-after-the-tiktok-ban/articleshow/76768337.cms">Instagram Reels,</a> just days after the ban.
