DHI International, the largest and fastest growing hair restoration
companyin the world with presence across all 5 continents. Direct

technique with 100% natural results, perfected over 5 decades
A SEASONED PROFESSIONAL

operates 75 clinics across 45 countries
spread across Australia to Colombia,
making it the largest hair restoration
company in the world. DHI Group aims

the next 3 years.
With over 30 years of experience in
consumer businesses, Mr. Ajay Bansal
built the DHI International business,
starting 10 years back. Before starting
this venture, he was a key member of
the leadership team at Yum! Restaurants
and is credited with establishing Pizza
Hut and KFC brands in the Indian subcontinent.
He also worked with Russell
Reynolds Associates as an Executive
Director and led the consumer sector
practice in India.
A Chartered Accountant, Mr. Bansal
started his career in consulting with
Arthur Andersen.
A GAME CHANGER
Mr. Ajay Bansal likes to change the rules
of the game rather than follow norms.
Leveraging his strong background in
consumer businesses and franchising,
he rapidly built a very strong business in
India with 13 clinics in all major cities
of India.
Before and even after DHI, hair
transplant was the fiefdom of some
individual doctors who did hair
transplants apart from other cosmetic
treatments. There were no protocols in
this industry and results would vary too
much. DHI is the first and only company
in India to have institutionalized the art
of hair restoration.
He then decided to take this business
model to all countries around the world,
through a unique franchising model,
first and only one of its kind in this
industry. DHI’s franchise model is now
proven and highly scalable. Today, DHI’s
revolutionary treatments are available
in 45 countries around the world. DHI
International has been growing at 50%
year on year.
BUILDING A HIGHLY
PENETRATED BRAND
Mr Bansal has been relentlessly focussed
on his vision of creating a world class
company that transforms the lives of
thousands of hair loss patients globally.
With a razor sharp focus on goals,
grit and a highly capable team of 100
employees and extended franchise
teams around the world, DHI has
earned several awards and recognitions,
supported by exhaustive protocols,
patented instruments and a one-of-its
kind training academy, which trains,
assesses and certifies tens of hair
transplant surgeons every year. DHI
offers solutions for all genders, age
groups and all stages of hair loss.
The huge bank of success stories
spanning 250,000 and growing patients
including celebrities, actors, business
leaders, sportsmen, and Heads of States,
is the biggest reflection of DHI’s brand
strength.
DRIVING INNOVATION
In a world that is evolving so fast, Mr.
Bansal’s core philosophy is not to beat
the competition, but to rewrite the
rules of the industry. This is reflected
in his passion for adopting cutting-edge
techniques, continuously improving
processes and world class training
academy. ‘Excellence in Everything
You Do’ is the unwritten rule of his
organization.
“Mr. Bansal manages the
world’s largest & fastest
growing hair restoration
company with 75 clinics
across 45 countries &
plans to open 200 clinics
