Specialisations
38–58% lower CPQL
in 90 days. Across every specialty.
Most icg founder pitches sell on CPL. ICG sells on CPQL — Cost Per Qualified Lead — the cost of a lead that actually shows up for a consultation. The difference is often 3–4×. Here is what our 150+ healthcare clients actually pay.
90-day averages from ICG's live portfolio across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and tier-2 cities. Adjust for city: metro CPQLs run 20–35% higher than tier-2 across all specialties.
