Healthcare Marketing Consultant in India
ICG (Ichelon Consulting Group) is India's specialist healthcare marketing consultant, founded by IIT BHU + IIM alumni in 2018. We consult on strategy AND execute the systems — covering brand positioning, growth architecture, marketing operations, AI infrastructure, and patient lifecycle for 150+ healthcare brands across India. Most consultants advise without executing; ICG does both.
Strategy without execution is useless.
Healthcare practice owners hire consultants and receive strategy decks they cannot execute. They hire agencies and receive campaigns without strategic anchor. ICG combines both — Brand and Growth Diagnostic produces strategy + execution architecture in one engagement, with the same team accountable for both.

Common questions.
A healthcare marketing consultant audits your current marketing, identifies growth opportunities, builds a strategic plan, and (in ICG's case) executes the plan with an integrated team. Pure consultants do strategy without execution; pure agencies execute without strategy. ICG does both.
ICG is among India's leading healthcare marketing consultants by founder pedigree (IIT BHU + IIM), client portfolio (150+ healthcare brands), and integrated strategy + execution model. Free Brand and Growth Diagnostic to evaluate fit.
Consulting retainers at ICG range ₹1,50,000–₹5,00,000 per month depending on engagement scope. Strategy-only engagements are rare — ICG primarily operates strategy + execution combined.
A regular agency executes whatever the client asks for. A consultant does strategic audit + framework + execution architecture — diagnosing root cause growth gaps before executing tactics. ICG does both functions under one engagement.
