The numbers might look concerning, but there is a reason Sugar.fit is working at it, and that is the sheer size of the market in India. India is diabetes central on Earth, and the data and learnings for Sugar.fit as it keeps expanding its influence is bound to be of value for the firm as well. On a standalone basis, it remains an uphill climb for the firm, as the market has limited paying capacity considering the vast amount of solutions being sold for every pocket. Certainly a firm where investors need to have a longer horizon in mind.
