No one knows how to sell it","html":"<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless src=\"https://share.transistor.fm/e/4c593f09\"></iframe>","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1183,"description":"Ozempic went off-patent in India this year, and everyone from Novo Nordisk to Nestlé has rushed in expecting a billion-dollar market.\nInstead, growth has already stalled, and the reason isn't price. It's culture.\nWhile Hollywood joked about Ozempic on late-night TV and Serena Williams advertised a GLP-1 program for a tele-health platform at the Super Bowl, not a single Indian celebrity has admitted to using it.\nWe trace why the drug ran out of India's easiest customers within months, why its next move — into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities — might not work either, and what it would actually take to sell a $200-a-month injection in a country that's only now starting to believe that obesity is a disease.\nRead The Ken story about black market Ozempic here. \nDaybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India’s first subscriber-only business news platform.
