What an audience turns into

A following isn't the goal. It's the platform everything else is built on.

Books

Dr Jaishree Sharad: three Penguin titles. Dr Tanaya Narendra: a bestseller, now in Hindi and Marathi.

Stages

Dr Pal Manickam: live shows in three countries. Dr Jaishree Sharad: TEDx speaker.

Ventures

Dr Siddhant Bhargava co-founded Food Darzee. Dr Aanchal Panth runs a clinic brand and a podcast.

Recognition

Forbes India Top 100 Digital Stars. National press. Invitations you don't have to chase.

Why content beats ads

Ads rent attention. Content compounds it.

Stop paying for an ad and its reach stops. A good explainer keeps getting found, shared and searched for years.

10% → 38%

HubSpot: 10% of posts drove 38% of traffic, and kept growing for years.

The in-house option

Hiring a team means running a second business.

Five roles to fill, brief, keep busy every week, and replace when they leave.

ScriptwriterShooterVideo editorDesignerSocial media manager

01 · Hire

35–45 days

Average time to hire in India, then a 30–90 day notice period before they can join.

02 · Feed

Every week

Five people need briefs, scripts and shoots on schedule, or you pay for idle time.

04 · Repeat

Reset

Each exit resets your voice, editing style and posting calendar. Back to step 01.

03 · Lose2024 17.1% · 2025 16.2%

18%

India's average attrition in 2026: nearly 1 in 5 people leave every year.

Sources: Aon Salary Increase & Turnover Survey 2026–27 via Economic Times / People Matters, 14 Oct 2026 (attrition); Wisemonk citing Naukri benchmarks, Oct 2026 (time to hire, notice periods). Pictogram: 9 of 50 = 18%.

Three ways to do this

Your time is the most expensive line item.

	Do it yourself	Hire in-house	Sprynt Media
Your time each month	40+ hours Estimate	Managing five people	~2 hrs + your shoot time
Getting started	Learn the tools yourself	35–45 days to hire, plus notice	Brand session in week 1
When someone leaves	N/A	Re-hire and re-train (18% attrition)	Our problem, not yours
Strategy & scripts	Guesswork	Depends on who you hire	Built with you, data-led
Medical-ethics compliance	Your risk alone	Varies by hire	Built into every script

DIY hours are an estimate for 20+ edited reels, carousels and stories a month. Hiring and attrition figures: see previous slide.

National Medical Commission (NMC) · Ethical advertising guidelines, Oct 2026

Most agencies sell promotion. We build authority.

The NMC is India's medical regulator. Its rules decide what a doctor can post, so we write every script inside them.

What we make

Explainers, myth-busting and FAQs in your voice
Name, qualification & registration no. on profile and posts
Factual practice info: address, timings, fee disclosure
Any AI-assisted visual clearly labelled

What we never do

Patient testimonials or before/after photos
"Best", "No.1", "100% success", fear-based hooks
Discounts, contests, bought followers or reviews
Per-lead or per-patient fees

Sources: NMC Ethics & Medical Registration Board guidelines via Medical Dialogues, The South First, ThePrint (Oct 2026). The doctor remains liable for agency content. Not legal advice.

Every month you wait, someone without your degree answers your patients' questions instead.

pieces of content in your first year, at 20–25 reels a month. Each one keeps answering questions while you see patients.
