It will cater to a far greater population. It is a whole range of products from sunscreen to shampoos and we have high hopes for that, VLCC Healthcare Managing Director Sandeep Ahuja told PTI here.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe products will be priced below Rs 100, which is far less than its other products, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\tVLCC, which has presence in seven countries, with about 20 outlets, is also planning to expand its overseas footprint.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe added three new countries &#8212; Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Qatar. We plan to open another outlet in Dhaka in six months, the second in Doha by this year-end and Kuwait by early 2012, Ahuja said, adding that the company plans to open a manufacturing unit in West Asia in two years time.<\/p>\n<p>\tVLCC, which has 163 slimming and beauty centres in 102 cities across the country, plans to open 15 new company-owned outlets this fiscal, Ahuja said.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe company also expects to double its franchisee outlet strength from the current 35 to 70 within a year.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe are targeting a 25% growth and aim to be a Rs 1,000-1,400 crore company in the next two years. We will spend Rs 100 crore each year for the next two years, he added.<\/p>\n<iframe src='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.franchisemart.in%2Ffranchise%2Fvlcc-to-invest-rs-200-cr-over-next-2-years%2F&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=280&amp;action=recommend&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=30' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; height:30px' allowTransparency='true'><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riding high on the growing demand for skincare products, wellness and beauty company VLCC said it plans to launch a new range of products in the anti-pollution category and will spend around Rs 200 crore over the next two years on domestic and overs<\/p>\n<iframe src='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.franchisemart.in%2Ffranchise%2Fvlcc-to-invest-rs-200-cr-over-next-2-years%2F&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=280&amp;action=recommend&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=30' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; height:30px' allowTransparency='true'><\/iframe>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[191,118],"class_list":["post-180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-franchise-news","tag-healthcare-managing-director","tag-vlcc","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":666,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180\/revisions\/666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
