He added that the company needs to continue investing in India. Keel said India is important to Envista not just as a market, but also for its clinical and technology capabilities.

The company will also focus on strengthening its presence across key dental markets, including Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, through greater clinician engagement. As part of this effort, Envista plans to conduct a multi-city roadshow featuring international experts following the launch, aimed at expanding clinical engagement and supporting continuing education among dental professionals across India.
