He is regarded by some as the pioneer of modern homeopathy in India.[6] He started the World's first branded and computerized homeopathy clinic in 1982. He also introduced the blister-packaging of homeopathic remedies.[7] [8]

Dr Batra's was mentioned in the Limca Book of Records (Editions 2004 and 2005) for becoming the first cyber clinic to offer online consultation to over 450 thousand patients every year.[9] Batra studied at the Campion School in Mumbai and later at Jai Hind College.[10] At the age of 60, he enrolled at Harvard University for a management course in best practices in healthcare.

Early life and education

Both of Batra's parents were doctors. His mother was an allopath and his father was a homeopath. Batra was born in Lucknow.[13] He lived in Agra before moving to Mumbai later.[14] He went on to earn his homeopathy degree from the Bombay Homeopathic Medical College (Smt. Chandaben Mohanbhai Patel Homeopathic Medical College) in 1972.[15]

Career

Batra started his career in 1974 at a charitable homeopathy clinic in Malabar Hill.[16]

Batra later decided to initiate a private practice in a polyclinic that was near. After two years, Batra started his own clinic- known as Positive Health clinic in the Chowpatty area in South Mumbai with a bank loan at an exorbitant 36% interest in 1982.[17] In 1996, he set up the first International clinic in Mauritius.[18] In Mauritius, he worked at legislating for the system of homeopathy and Dr Batra’s clinic is the first and one of the recognized homeopathic clinics in the country. In the Middle East, he introduced homeopathy in countries that prohibit use of alcohol-based medicines on religious grounds.[19] In 2018, Batra spoke about a new line of treatment called ‘Geno Homeopathy’ which is claimed to be a combination of genetics and homeopathy.[20]

Hundreds of clinics are opened in India. Batra's Homeopathic Clinic (FZ-LLC) is present at the Dubai Healthcare City in Dubai followed by another clinic in Jumeirah Lake Towers. Other than Dubai, the clinics are available in Abu Dhabi, London, Dhaka.[21] [22]
