PharmEasy, India's largest pharmacy aggregator announced the launch of its full-service operations in Bangalore. The e-platform makes medicines available at a discount of flat 20 per cent and offers up to 75 per cent discount on diagnostic tests and ensures that all the medicines are home delivered by a licensed pharmacist within three hours of prescription validation.

Users can order medicines through the PharmEasy app available on Google Play and App Store. All that need to be done is that users have to upload a photo of the prescription on the app, which is passed on to the local licensed pharmacy outlet  in the vicinity of the user, which  will verify its authenticity, and based on the same, deliver medicines at the doorstep.

Digital technologies and healthcare have merged together to offer easy approachability to experts and doctors, which has greatly helped rural India get access to top specialists in larger cities. Moreover, online models for healthcare, be it for medicines or diagnostics services, is empowering customers to find information at their fingertips and no longer be misled by multiple intermediaries, stated the company.

Dharmil Sheth, co-founder, PharmEasy, said,  that the company has  been able to facilitate easy and affordable healthcare services in several cities across the country and Bengaluru  is the latest addition to the list.

Here, in our Bengaluru office, we have over 100 employees and we are fully equipped to offer seamless door-to-door services. This city’s residents no longer need to be dependent on anyone else to get their prescribed medicines. With our efforts to bring a digital transition in accessibility of the pharmaceutical products we aim to create a healthier India, he added.
 
The e-pharmacy service provider  currently delivers medicines in Mumbai, Delhi, Noida, Pune, Kolkata, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Jaipur and Ahmedabad.  The facility for diagnostic tests is available in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata.
 
As India’s most populous city with over 11 million people’s healthcare needs to cater to, launching operations in Bangalore was a sensible choice. Over 5 lakh families across India have been using PharmEasy for their extensive medical needs and Bengaluru  will prove to be a contributing  centre given the rate of e-literacy, high internet connectivity,  bandwidth and tech-inclined demographics. This showcases strong acceptance and adoption to ecommerce in the pharmaceutical sector, truly paves way to a Digital India, said Sheth.
