The Bhubaneswar angle for clinics

Odisha's tribal-belt customers in surrounding areas often prefer voice over WhatsApp text. Voice-first IVR + WhatsApp combo outperforms either alone.

30% no-show rate on appointments

~₹40,000/month at a 4-doctor clinic

Patients book, then forget. Without a 24-hour-before reminder, no-show rates in Indian clinics typically run 20-30% — every empty slot is lost revenue and a delayed patient who could have used it.

Front desk drowns in WhatsApp + calls

One person fielding bookings on WhatsApp, taking phone calls, doing patient intake, and managing the queue. The phone rings while they're typing a reply; both get half-attention.

Off-hours bookings vanish

65% of clinic enquiries come outside 10am-6pm. Without a 24/7 reply, these patients move on to the next clinic in the same area within an hour.

Language + voice in Bhubaneswar

Odia-first; Hindi-English in formal contexts. Voice agents must handle Odia for service businesses.

Doggu's voice agent auto-detects Odia, Hindi, English and switches mid-conversation if the caller does. WhatsApp templates can be approved in any of the languages your customers actually use.

FAQ — clinics in Bhubaneswar

Does Doggu work for businesses based in Bhubaneswar?

Yes — Doggu is hosted in India (ap-south-1, Mumbai), GST-compliant for any state including Odisha (state code 21), and the voice agent supports Odia, Hindi, English out of the box.

What about local language support for Bhubaneswar?

Odia-first; Hindi-English in formal contexts. Voice agents must handle Odia for service businesses.The voice agent and chatbot both handle this automatically — you don't pick the language, the system detects it from the caller / chatter's first message.

Will Doggu integrate with my clinic management software?

Doggu is the patient-facing layer (WhatsApp, voice, booking, payments, CRM). For internal HMS/EHR (e.g. Practo Ray, MocDoc, Halemind) we expose a webhook that syncs new bookings into your existing system. Most clinics either run Doggu alongside their HMS or use Doggu as their primary system.

Do you handle multi-doctor / multi-branch?

Yes. Each doctor or branch has their own slot calendar, availability, and consultation fee. Patients pick the doctor at booking; the AI agent disambiguates if they don't say. Each brand on the Growth plan gets its own booking page.
