Manoj Katyal

If you walk down 15-B in Ratlam Kothi, you’ll find us easily. Manoj Katyal is the name on the board, and we run the Clinic Diagnostic here. It’s a central spot in Indore, so it’s fairly convenient for people coming from different sides of the city. We do a lot of blood tests and other routine checks. It’s not the most exciting work in the world, but it’s important, so we take it seriously. The lab equipment takes up a lot of space, and there is always that specific smell of a clinic hanging in the air. We open up early because most people need to get their tests done on an empty stomach before they head to their jobs. My staff and I spend a lot of time labeling vials and looking at reports. Ratlam Kothi is a bit of an older area, so the buildings have that solid, lived-in feel to them. We don’t have a marketing department or anything like that. Most people hear about us from their doctors or their neighbors. We just try to get the results out as fast as we can without making mistakes. Sometimes the computer system acts up and we have to do things the old-fashioned way for a bit. It gets busy around ten in the morning, and then things usually quiet down in the afternoon. We stay until the last report is filed and the lights are off. It’s a steady, simple life.
